Ben Earl: I'll bring what I've learnt with the Lions back to England
During five years of international rugby he has never loved anything in his career quite like the past eight weeks. He returns a Lions series winner, having played in two Tests, and has realised that he and England could do so much, so much better.
Earl calls the Lions a 'life-changing experience', that has been 'completely transformative' for him, and he said he has appreciated being 'treated like adults' by Andy Farrell, the head coach. Earlier in the tour he said he had worked out you do not need to live like a monk all week before a Test match, like he has done before. The two-games-per-week rhythm in the middle of the tour challenged him to adapt, and Earl feels like he thrived.

I ditched the UK for Portugal – I'm still shocked at how cheap everything is from 80p coffee to bargain beach sunbeds
WHEN I decided to move to Portugal in 2020, I had been living in London - one of the most pricey cities in the world, let alone the UK - for just under a decade. However, I was amazed by how costs in my new base, Lisbon, were less than I had experienced even in many parts of the UK, making it an overall more affordable place to live. 5 5 From dining out to getting around, I have been amazed how my money has been able to go further compared to back home. Having said that, rising costs have affected Portugal, like they have in other parts of Europe in the past few years - and it's worth noting that the minimum wage here is significantly lower than the UK. There has been particular resentment among locals about soaring rents and house prices, believed to be driven by expats and tourists. However, the prices of many everyday things has remained rather affordable - as I'm reminded every time I pop back to the UK - and these are some of the impressive savings that can be made... Booze for less than a fiver Just like us Brits, the Portuguese are passionate about their beer - namely Super Bock, produced in the north, and Sagres, which comes from the south. A bottle of the lager-style duo - which is slightly smaller than a British pint - will often cost just a couple of euros each. Another alcoholic beverage prevalent in Portugal is wine, and the country has many delicious varieties that are low in price for the very reason they are home-grown. At many bars, restaurants and quiosques, you can still purchase a top-quality house white or red for just a few euros. Coffee for a quid The Portuguese love of coffee is strong, to the point where most homes will have an espresso machine in the kitchen and seeing a packet of the instant stuff is rare. However, when they are getting their caffeine fix in a traditional café, you'll usually see locals stood up at the counter quickly sipping on an espresso. Explore Algarve with The Sun's Best of Beaches It will probably have set them back between 50 and 80 cents, although that might tip over the one euro mark (around 80p) if you sit down at a table. If an espresso is not to your taste, then coffee with milk - called a 'galão' - will usually come in at under two euros. Affordable beach luxury While other European coastal destinations might charge you a small fortune to enjoy the finer aspects of beach life, in Portugal it is comparatively cheap. Many sandy spots will have traditional cafés selling competitively priced seafood - usually fresh and caught locally. 5 It is also possible to rent a sunlounger at the beach for less than a tenner, based on two people sharing a pair of beds with an umbrella for shade. Surfing your thing? Portugal has some of the best waves in Europe, and you can rent a surfboard and wetsuit in many places for less than €20 (£17) a day. Dining out for less Portugal is famed for its delicious food, which include authentic just-out-the-oven pastel de nata for a couple of euros. However, it's going to a restaurant for lunch or dinner where the savings really become apparent. 5 The typical Portuguese way to dine is to share several dishes in a group in the style of 'petiscos' - their version of tapas - which makes dining out for £10 to £20, minus drinks, a regular occurrence. When you receive the bill, it's common for there to be no 12.5 per cent service charge automatically added to the total - so it's at your discretion, and very much appreciated by staff, if you do want to tip. Cheaper to get around Many Portuguese locals choose to get from A to B in cars or on motorbikes. However, taking public transport can allow you to better enjoy the scenery - and it will save you a fortune too. A ride on a regional train service - such as from the 40 minutes from Lisbon to Caiscais - will set you back only a couple of euros. Meanwhile, the monthly 'Navegante' travel pass gives you unlimited use of public transport - including the famous trams - in the capital area for less than £30 per month.

Lauren Bell says India contests stand England in good stead for World Cup
Under new head coach Charlotte Edwards, England completed a clean sweep against the West Indies before falling to defeat against India. England were beaten 3-2 in the T20 series and 2-1 in the ODIs, but with the World Cup fast approaching, Bell insisted there is plenty to learn from this summer. She told the PA news agency: 'We've obviously had two fairly different series this summer. We had the West Indies that everyone performed really well and India challenged us a little bit more. England Women's Summer 2025 ✅ Not the ending we wanted but some amazing moments throughout and we appreciate all the support 🩷 World Cup 🔜🔜🔜 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 22, 2025 'It's exciting seeing that we're going to come up against some of the best teams and I think situations like the India series we just had is great preparation really. You learn so much more when you play against top teams. 'It's really exciting where we're at as a team, where we're going and obviously we're working super hard. We've got a few things that everyone, I guess, is going to work on moving forwards to that World Cup. 'It's an exciting time to be part of this team.' This year's World Cup takes place in India and Sri Lanka and England open their campaign on October 3 with a clash against South Africa in Bengaluru. The tournament is England's first under Edwards, who has just completed her first summer in charge and Bell has enjoyed working with a familiar face. 'It's been great, I've worked with Lot for a number of years because she was down at Hampshire and the Southern Brave,' Bell added. 'She's been great, she's got this ethos of winning and performance-based selection, which obviously takes a bit of getting used to with a new coach and the way she goes about things. 'She's obviously got a vast amount of experience and a really successful start to her coaching. 'It's been great, the way she manages everyone and speaks to us is really exciting. It's really cool to be a part of what she's hopefully pushing this team to do and to succeed.' England face a busy 12 month period with the 50-over World Cup and home games over the summer before the T20 World Cup starts next. Next year's tournament follows the 2022 European Championship and the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup as another major women's sporting event being held on British soil. Looking ahead to the T20 World Cup, Bell said: 'Super excited, I think any player wants to play at a home World Cup. I think it's so cool with family and friends around and hopefully (can) put women's cricket on a platform at home. 'It's so important bringing it to the home venues and getting them hopefully sold out and people being able to see the sport. 'The more we can get it accessible to people to watch, the more they'll be like 'this is pretty cool, I want to get involved' and start playing. It's such a massive opportunity for cricket in England.'

UK travellers face £5,000 fines for buying five items from duty free under new rules
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Travellers have been warned they could be hit with fines reaching £5,000 for trying to bring five items through customs - even if they bought them from duty-free. The government brought in tough new rules earlier this year to tackle an outbreak of a serious disease spreading across Europe. This means that anyone coming back from affected regions including Spain, France, Italy and Greece must make sure they don't have any forbidden items in their luggage. READ MORE - ITV Good Morning Britain star announces baby news live on air READ MORE - Jet2 'sorry' as mum and kids 'traumatised' at being refused to flight home The existing restrictions mean that anyone caught carrying items including sandwiches, cheese, cured meats, raw meats or milk into the country will be stopped at the border. It continues to be banned for visitors from all EU countries entering Great Britain to bring items such as sandwiches, cheese, cured meats, raw meats or milk into the country, reports Bristol Live. This applies regardless of whether the products are wrapped or packaged, or whether they were bought at duty-free shops. Officials said that those found with these products will be required to either surrender them at the border or have them seized and destroyed. "In serious cases, those found with these items run the risk of incurring fines of up to £5,000 in England." The Government has put measures in place to prevent the spread of foot and mouth disease (FMD) following a rising number of cases throughout Europe. In a bid to safeguard the health of British livestock, the livelihoods of farmers, and the nation's food security, travellers are now barred from bringing in meat from cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, as well as dairy products, from EU countries into Great Britain for personal use. While Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) poses no threat to humans, it is a highly infectious viral disease that affects cattle, sheep, pigs, and other cloven-hoofed animals such as wild boar, deer, llamas, and alpacas. Despite there being no current cases in the UK, the outbreak on the continent presents a significant risk to farm businesses and livestock. The disease can lead to substantial economic losses due to decreased productivity in affected animals, as well as loss of access to international markets for animals, meat, and dairy. In light of confirmed FMD outbreaks in Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria earlier this year, the Government has already prohibited personal imports of meat from cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, as well as pig meat and dairy products from these countries. These new restrictions apply solely to travellers arriving in Great Britain, with no imposition on personal imports arriving from Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, or the Isle of Man. Farming Minister Daniel Zeichner, at the time of the launch, stated: "This government will do whatever it takes to protect British farmers from foot and mouth. That is why we are further strengthening protections by introducing restrictions on personal meat and dairy imports to prevent the spread of the disease and protect Britain's food Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer for international and trade affairs Dr Jorge Martin-Almagro said: ". UK Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer for international and trade affairs, Dr Jorge Martin-Almagro, commented: "Following the detection of foot and mouth disease in EU countries resulting in a rising risk of introduction into Great Britain, we have extended restrictions on the personal imports of food products that pose a risk in FMD transmission." He added: "Robust contingency plans are already in place to manage the risk of this disease to protect farmers and Britain's food security. This biosecurity measure combined with all others we have implemented are critical to limit the risk of FMD incursion. I would urge livestock keepers to continue exercising the upmost vigilance for signs of disease, ensure scrupulous biosecurity is maintained and to report any suspicion of disease immediately to the Animal and Plant Health Agency." However, there are still certain exemptions to these regulations. Small quantities of baby formula, medicinal foods and specific composite items such as chocolate, sweets, bread, cakes, biscuits and pasta are still permitted.
