Thank you - Bruce would have appreciated your comments

Mik A. 01 May 2026

This is very sad news. Bruce’s articles were always stimulating and very well informed. He will be missed.

Bruce Perkins. 17 Feb 2026

Sorry, Devs, have only just spotted your comment. No bitterness; it's just that the circuses I saw as a kid went round in circles, not straight for the line. And once upon a time Glaws and Gloucester-Hartpury were known as the Cherry and Whites.

Devs. 07 Feb 2026

The Circus....as they like be known...forgive me...a hint of bitterness from Bruce.

Jennie Powell. 03 Feb 2026

While Bruce is perfectly able to respond to your comment, I’d just like to say that I think you misinterpret his words. He welcomes the high standards while at the same time wishing that other clubs also had the possibility to compete at that level.

Karl. 03 Feb 2026

Bruce, whilst complementary on Table position, forever seems a bit miffed that Hartpury & Gloucester-Hartpury thriving...& their set-up, their setting of standards.

Kalpna. 20 Jan 2026

What an inspiring lineup of Para Lioness stars, rising rugby talent, and future Olympians at the University of Bath truly motivating to see such dedication and support for student-athletes! I found this especially encouraging as someone exploring study opportunities abroad; I used https://www.studyinuk.com/to plan my own UK journey and it was super helpful.

Karl. 16 Dec 2025

Bruce always so strangely disgruntled with GH & EQP ...comparing GH with Ealing...ffs, where the GH Pathway just a natural Uni progression of mainly British Isles young talented Women compared to the signing of over seas stars...Suspect he'll be chearing that greatly anticipated first Women's British & Irish Lions?

Karl. 29 Nov 2025

Sorry Bruce, may not meet your London-love requirements.
