Leanne Riley does not look at Twitter too much, she says. Which is why one of her posts sticks out; it is a link to a picture of her England No 9 shirt neatly folded on a bed the day of their Six Nations match against France in February. Lying on the shirt is a picture of a steely-haired man slightly awkwardly but determinedly cradling a newborn. Alongside it, Riley wrote: “This one’s for you Grandad.”
