March 2025 has seen the sensational reunion of Sue Barker, Matt Dawson, and Phil Tufnell for a live tour celebrating the spirit of the classic Question of Sport. Though unaffiliated with the


BBC or the original programme, this unofficial revival has captured fans’ hearts with standing ovations and five-star reviews at venues across the UK.

From Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall to Manchester’s Palace Theatre and Bournemouth’s International Centre, the tour brought nostalgic joy, unscripted hilarity, and insider gossip in spades.


Audiences were treated to witty storytelling, spontaneous quizzes, and the undeniable chemistry that made the trio beloved on-screen for years.


The format cleverly mirrored their former show while taking it further with raw, unscripted banter and guest appearances from sporting legends like ‘Razor’ Ruddock, making each night feel


uniquely personal and riotously funny.


Fans are unanimous: they want more. With calls for additional dates and venues, hopes are high that this is just the beginning of a longer run. As one reviewer put it, “Why another channel


has not taken them on is crazy.”


Whether you’re a long-time fan of the original Question of Sport or simply looking for a night of laughter and nostalgia, Sue, Matt & Phil Live is the sporting comedy event you didn’t know


you missed.


With the transfer market heating up, we’ve scoured the rugby world to build a free-agent dream team. These are the best unattached players currently on the market – stacked with


international pedigree, World Cup experience, and raw power waiting for the right deal.


Leigh Halfpenny (Harlequins)Wales and Lions legend. A metronomic boot, safe under the high ball, and still one of the best defensive fullbacks in the game.


Liam Williams (Saracens)The ‘Bomb Defuser’ is fearless in the air and electric in open play. A British & Irish Lion with big-game pedigree.


Santiago Cordero (Connacht)Argentina’s elusive wizard. Lightning feet, low centre of gravity – a nightmare for defenders on the wing or at fullback.


Lennox Anyanwu (Harlequins)A breakout talent with serious attacking flair and physical presence. One for the future – if he lands in the right setup.


Chris Harris (Gloucester)One of the most reliable defensive centres in Europe. A rock for Scotland and a Lions tourist in 2021.


Will Addison (Sale Sharks)Versatile, classy, and smart. Can slot in across the backline. Injuries have slowed him, but still bags of talent to offer.
