Photographers get to choose their seat (after drawing lots for choosing order). It happens before the coin toss and often leads to watching all the action take place at the far end of the field. Tonight I went with seat number 13. Turned out to be a lucky one. Most of the tries were quite close.4yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/rugbyunion
Tune in later this month when Murray, Hiro, and I predict the future / set ourselves up for ridicule, during Grand Sumo Preview's discussion of potential 2024 banzuke5mo ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/Sumo
The Bears get so little respect NFL even replaced the team with the Cardinals in their playoff graphic3yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/CHIBears
Out of curiosity are US based fans here aware that for more than ten years NFL Game Pass (outside the US) has allowed you to watch any game from any team live? It’s one of those strange quirks that means Bears fans in Tokyo have far more viewing access than those in many parts of the US.3yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/CHIBears

Sunwolves are back....for one game. They’ll play Japan on June 12. This will be the Brave Blossoms first action since RWC2019 and is a warm up for the Lions match.3yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/rugbyunion
8 hours after losing a bag with thousands of dollars of camera gear in Tokyo it’s back. Never had a doubt it would be. Did mean I had to shoot the Ireland team with only an iPhone when I took them to watch sumo training this morning. They presented the stable with a signed jersey and other gifts.5yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/ireland
Nate Tice (on a recent podcast) revealed that some inside the Bears were pretty high on Russell Wilson before the 2012 draft. Rather than move up a couple of spots in the third round and grab him though they decided to wait until the fourth and picked Brandon Hardin instead.3yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/CHIBears
23 months is the longest South Africa have gone without playing New Zealand since the teams resumed regular meetings in 1992. Will that be eclipsed in 2021 or will the Springboks play the All Blacks before late August?3yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/rugbyunion

Watson is worth far more than the Bears eight first round picks since the Cutler trade. Given this team’s recent history at the top of the draft, trading four or five first rounders to lock down (for a decade) the one position you can’t win a Super Bowl without in the modern NFL is a no brainer.3yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/CHIBears

Sunwolves fifth and final season in Super Rugby is about to get underway. Great home support (likely to be even better in the wake of RWC 2019) but the results haven’t been there on the field for numerous reasons. Can they get four wins or more in 2020?4yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/rugbyunion
This is what the plaque that comes with the Fighting Spirit Prize looks like up close. Guess which rikishi (the winner that basho) was holding it for the photo and I'll put all correct guesses in a draw to win a tegata (autographed handprint.)4yr ⋅ JohnGunning ⋅ r/Sumo
