How does it feel when a project starts well but then deteriorates … until you find yourself being soundly beaten?
I am in Wuhan, China this week. I met with Mr Qian, leader of the Wuhan Biolake and Mrs Shen of Wuhan-based pharma company HumanWell yesterday. Over a delicious Chinese lunch, conversation turned first to rugby – Mr Qian clearly being bemused to receive a full ...

Ancient findings question how far we have come:
I am sitting in my normal in-flight cocoon on my way back to the UK from China, reflecting on the trip.
