Sale believe Courtney Lawes can regain England place after veteran signs one-year deal

about 15 hours ago

Courtney Lawes has been backed to regain his England place following confirmation he will be joining Sale Sharks this summer on a one-year deal.The former national captain has spent the last two seasons with Brive in France’s Pro D2 but has indicated he would love to play international rugby again should the chance arise.While Lawes will be 38 next February and retired from the Test arena after the 2023 World Cup in France, he still feels he can make an impact at the top level of the game.That view is shared by Sale’s director of rugby, Alex Sanderson, who is looking forward to welcoming the former Northampton stalwart to Manchester.“I don’t think we’d have signed him if he was just a player who wanted a paycheck,” said Sanderson.

“That’s not what I’m seeing and the stats don’t reflect that.He’s still got the ability and experience to play some great rugby over the next season, if not the next couple.“Courtney is robust, dynamic around the park and he hits hard, but he has a fantastic skill set that means he’s so much more than just a banger.He wants to bring people with him and lead from the front and I love that.Plus he’s captained England and knows what it’s like to play and win on the biggest stage.

Clearly he also believes in what we’re building,It’s a good fit for him with his aspiration to get back into the World Cup team,”In total Lawes represented England at four World Cups and spent 17 years at Northampton, winning two Premiership titles and two Challenge Cup trophies,Having also gained 105 caps and won three Six Nations titles for England he is similarly convinced he has more in him,“My body feels good and I’m still performing at a high level.

I feel like I can compete with the best of them, and then some, and if I retired now, I’d probably regret it when I was older.“As a rugby player, you’ve got a very finite career and you’re a long time retired so I want to make the most of it while I can.I’m officially un-retiring from international duty and I’d love to play for England again, but first and foremost I want to play well for Sale and we’ll see what happens after that.”This week, however, Sale are facing a manpower crisis before Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final trip to Dublin to face Leinster.England squad members Luke Cowan-Dickie and Bevan Rodd have both been ruled out for the rest of the domestic season while the Sharks’ hooker Nathan Jibulu has received a six-week ban for biting his former Harlequins teammate Will Hobson.

The incident took place in the final quarter of Sale’s 26-17 win over Quins on Saturday at the Stoop, where Jibulu was returning for the first time since relocating to Salford last summer,The 23-year-old admitted he had committed an act of foul play that warranted a red card and escaped a 12-week ban after a disciplinary panel took into account his guilty plea, relative inexperience and previously clean record,Sanderson believes the incident will prove “a blip in what is going to be a very long and successful career” and “shape the kind of player he is going to be” regardless of whether it undermines Jibulu’s chances of being picked by Steve Borthwick to tour with England this summer,“He’s good now, he’s going to be brilliant,” said Sanderson,“He’s certainly got the attributes to be an international hooker.

Georgina Hayden’s quick and easy recipe for gochujang butter salmon | Quick and easy

The classic combination of soy sauce and honey salmon is a staple in our house, and works for kids and adults alike. However, sometimes I want to change things up, so here I’ve elevated it slightly with a gochujang dressing – similar principle, but with a bit of heat and depth, as well as richness from the butter. Using butter might seem unusual, but it is often paired with soy sauce in Japan (shoyu butter) with an indulgent result. Serve the fish over sticky rice, to soak up all those spicy, buttery juices, with steamed greens on the side.Prep 10 min Cook 25 min Serves 41 tbsp sesame oil 4 tbsp soy sauce 2 tsp gochujang paste 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated4cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated½ tsp caster sugar 4 sustainably caught skin-on salmon fillets Sea salt and white pepper70g unsalted butter 150g bean sprouts Sticky rice, to serveA handful of roasted peanuts, roughly chopped10g coriander, leaves pickedHeat the oven to 220C (200C fan)/425F/gas 7

How to make the perfect Portuguese feijoada – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

If you are trying to incorporate more beans and pulses into your diet, as I am, then this robust, one-pot feast, which food writer Edite Vieira describes as “a marvellous standby of the Portuguese kitchen”, is one to bear in mind. Though each region has its own variations, “basically”, she explains, “feijoada is a rich bean stew with pork and sausages”. The Brazilian version, often cited as that country’s national dish, is the product of the West African “love of beans”, according to the Oxford Companion to Food, with some suggesting that it’s a South American creation that travelled to Europe along with returning colonisers. Others insist with equal fervour that the dish was “born in the north of Portugal, and imported and adapted to what was available in Brazil”. Like so many such homely favourites, its precise history will probably ever remain a mystery; what’s important is that it’s simple to prepare, easy to adapt according to taste and budget, and very satisfying

Burro, WC2: ‘Big but the opposite of brash – restaurant review | Grace Dent on restaurants

Brings old-school charm to a touristy part of townBurro, a new Italian restaurant in Covent Garden, London, had been on my horizons even before the napkins were on order, because Conor Gadd, the chef-owner, has form. His first restaurant Trullo, up in Islington, has sat unshakably around the top of my recommendations list for about 15 years and is namechecked by me at least twice weekly when complete strangers want a tip for a birthday, proposal or a client they need to impress. Or simply, “somewhere to take a foodie” who “really likes food”. Yes, the brief given to restaurant critics is often that vague, but to all these things I say: “Have you been to Trullo? Order the beef shin ragu and some good red wine. It’s been there for ages and they know what they’re doing

Sunday best: Thomasina Miers’ recipes for aromatic chicken one-pot and salted caramel banana cake

I love Mexican chillies for the subtle flavour they give to cooking. Take the ancho, with its sweet, earthy notes of chocolate and plum. That adds immense depth to dishes traditional and avant garde alike, and is now readily available online and in shops. In today’s one-pot, which is a near-perfect way to cook a whole chicken, the ancho adds character to a classic sofrito, while in the pudding the savoury notes and touch of heat complement the dark caramel, helping to create a banana cake that is anything but bland. If you can’t find ancho, try any other medium-heat chilli flake in its place (nora, aleppo), or simply leave it out

Oats, sardines and crisps: emergency foods to stockpile – and why you should share them

People should have an emergency stockpile of food in their homes in case conflicts, extreme weather or cyber-attacks shut down supplies, leading UK experts have told the Guardian.In an ever more turbulent world, they say it is essential to choose long-life items that can be eaten without cooking – think tinned beans, vegetables and fish, rice crackers, and oats that can be soaked. But it is also important to choose items you actually like to eat, and some treats such as chocolate or crisps to keep your spirits up. You will also need water – lots of it – not just to drink but for washing too.Perhaps the most surprising advice is to be prepared to share your stockpile with neighbours

Reese’s chocolate heir accuses Hershey of altering recipes: ‘It wasn’t real peanut butter’

The grandson of HB Reese, the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, has accused the chocolate giant Hershey of faking a pledge to investors to switch back the recipes of its popular products – including KitKat – to the original milk and dark chocolate ones.A confectionery-focused dust-up between Brad Reese and the $42bn Pennsylvania-based company began in February when Reese, 70, accused the company of “quietly replacing” the ingredients – or “architecture” – in his grandfather’s invention with cheaper “compound coatings” and “peanut-butter-style crèmes”.At a recent Hershey investor conference, the company said it would change about 3% of select products to the original recipes but maintained it had never altered the renowned Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.The company’s chief growth officer, Stacy Taffet, said Hershey was “transitioning our sweets portfolio to colors from natural sources, and ensuring that all Hershey’s and Reese’s offerings are consistent with their brand’s classic milk and dark chocolate recipes”. The changes are planned to come into effect by next year
