Courtney Lawes looked his old self in the lineout and on the floor, while Tom Curry was magnificent in the kind of physical scrap he relishes. George Ford managed…

This one is going to hurt for a while. El Tri face-planted in the first real test of the Rafa Márquez era, producing a handful of blunders that a grateful U.S. team converted into a 3-0 rout on Saturday night in Arizona.

Food is, in many ways, the greatest of social equalizers. Everyone, after all, must sit down to eat at various points in the day, and there’s no escaping the fact that we must all break bread together. But too often, there’s an exclusivity around who gets to actually sit at the proverbial table. In a bustling metropolis like Mexico City, in particular, many residents are gatekept and unable to enjoy the city’s most sought-after offerings, largely due to massive socioeconomic barriers. Wealth disparities shape capital dining The gap between “haves” and “have-nots” in Mexico City is widening, but world-class dining…
