For Finn Russell has previous with intercepts when attacking Twickenham’s south stand. It was playing that way that he picked off Owen Farrell’s pass before streaking clear in the madcap 38-38 draw between England and Scotland in 2019.

12 h. ago The Guardian view on the Women’s prize for nonfiction: shining a light where it’s badly needed | Editorial

Having a separate award was good for female novelists. Now a medical author is blazing a trail with a true storyFemale nonfiction writers are paid less on average, receive fewer reviews and win fewer prizes than men. Unsurprisingly, this means that women sell fewer books. So far this year, more than 60% of titles on the UK’s hardback and paperback nonfiction bestseller lists have been by men.Kate Mosse wants to change this. Famously, she set up the Women’s prize for fiction after there was not a single woman on the 1991 Booker shortlist. This year Ms Mosse’s award celebrates its 30th anniversary. With previous winners including Zadie Smith, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Maggie O’Farrell, it has changed the publishing landscape to the extent that some suggest it is now redundant: last year, five out of the six books on the Booker prize shortlist were by women, and the winner was Samantha Harvey. Indeed, such is the pre-eminence of female novelists that there is talk of a cri...

Email daniel.harris@theguardian.comAnd of course it’s impossible to conceive of this competition without casting our minds forward to Wimbledon. Anisimova made the last eight in 2022 and must’ve been at her lowest around then; she’s running into form nicely now, feeling like an entirely different person. She’s definitely one to watch, whatever happens today.So who’s going to win? Well Anisimova is the better player with the bigger game; if she produces her best or close to it, she’ll be hard to beat. But Maria is canny and knows that, at her age, this might be her last chance to snaffle so coveted a title. If she can keep Anisimova moving, she’s a really good chance. Continue reading...
