Former Scotland winger Kenny Logan has revealed he has been treated for prostate cancer. The 50-year-old said the diagnosis had come out of the blue and he had surgery earlier this year. Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he recalled: “I got a wellness check and sat down with the guy. He said to me: ‘Everything’s fine, your hormones are fine but your prostate is high’.

“I got checked and very quickly, within three or four months, I had biopsies. There was something there but we would just keep an eye on it.

“This year, on February 7, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer which was a huge shock. I ended up deciding to take it out so I’m three months since the operation, had the prostate out and I’m probably 95 per cent back to normal.

“It was hard because when you are told you have got cancer… I didn’t see it coming. No symptoms whatsoever.”

Leicester, Leinster, Bordeaux record round two Champions Cup wins

I think it's hard to grasp the effect of long lasting fatigue following a super packed season. The Springboks have won a world cup, then SA clubs did ok in club competitions right after and then the boks had a great 2024 year. Fatigue have to come in at some point. Yes the trips are an issue but I really think for the sake of the SA (and Argentinian, who have a similar schedule) players, a deal should be found to let them have more rest every year.

Many criticized France for resting their best players in the summer, at the cost of the attractivity of the series, but the answer to the current debate about the Champion cup might be partly found in this type of management.

‘The problem with this year’s Champions Cup? Too many English clubs’

Yes the URC only has a 1/3 stake in the competition. You could have googled that.

And you're not suggesting an equal share. 5/20 isn't a third.

I've suggested a solution in the comments on this article for how to allocate places. The solution is 1/4 of places for the Prem, 1/4 of places for the top 14, 1/4 of places for the URC, 1/4 of places for the best performing teams in the champions and challenge cup last year to not have already qualified via their league.

another solution would be to do what they do with the champions league in football, where places are allocated per league on the basis of UEFA association club coefficients.

and yes I was talking about English teams generally but the teams 6-8 in particular. Last year they significantly outperformed the teams who finished 6-8 in the URC and top 14.

Rob Baxter drops scary admission after Toulouse rip Exeter asunder

I wouldn't write off Baxter yet. He's been one of the top coaches for a long time, with the modest budget Exeter have I doubt they'll find someone better and Baxter has such a connection having been there as a player. Exeter lost the core of their team in the same season, that is tough to bounce back from. Other teams spend their way to the top where Exeter have focused on building a squad of homegrown talent and that won't happen overnight. I fully expect them to back Baxter - he has earned that trust. He took them from a Championship side to winning the double. That is nothing short of phenomenal and Exeter won't forget that in a hurry. I'm sure the club execs fully understand that Baxter is looking to build a new core of young players to take the club back to the top for another generation. There will be more hard times to come but they'll get there.

'It doesn’t make sense for New Zealand to deny itself access to world-class players'

Good player who gets a bad wrap because he has a lot of weight on his shoulders try to carry that team.

They should be a little better this year so perhaps he'll get a chance to shine.
