The Grand Finale, the final film that the Downton Abbey stars have teamed up with, will take place in Leicester Square in London.
The Grand Finale’s world premiere will take place in Leicester Square as part of the end of a long era. 15 years after its debut, the beloved television series returns to the big screen in its final season.
As the Crawley family and their employees enter the 1930s, Lady Mary finds herself in the middle of a divorcing public scandal. The family is in financial trouble as a result, and the entire household is dealing with the threat of social disgrace.
As the staff begins a new chapter with the next generation of Downton Abbey in charge of the studio, the Crawleys must embrace change. The cast has reunited for one final time ahead of its release, which will be in theaters the following week.
Riki Flutey is still awaiting John Mitchell’s return.
Flutey smiles and says, “I’ve sent him a couple of pictures of me and him with our arms around each other.”
“Hey, I’m certain he’ll send me one at some point.” He is “doing a big job leading the ship”!
The pair were a member of Japan’s coaching staff at the previous Rugby World Cup, which was held in France in 2023.
They are currently in opposing camps. Former England international and former British and Irish Lion Flutey is the Black Ferns’ backs and skills coach.
The Red Roses are led by Mitchell, who was selected from a number of All Black squads while he was a player.
In April, Flutey took over as New Zealand’s coach for this Women’s Rugby World Cup.
The group mentality of the six-time champions struck him as one of the first things.
According to him, “Allan Bunting, head coach, has done a fantastic job of creating an environment that values connection and service.”
Coming from a Super Rugby men’s environment [Flutey’s last post was with the Highlanders], you know, just looking at it and feeling it is pretty amazing.
The connections between management and management, management to player, and player to player, are “quite special.”
It is “truly genuine,” it says.
No formal training or group-building exercises are conducted; instead, spend a lot of time in each other’s company, conversing, singing, and cheering each other on another well-timed mission to win the world title.
As a player, you could hear a pin drop right away when we met at the hotel before taking the bus, says Flutey.
“No one would speak,” he said.
“Everyone was wearing headphones, no talking, and straight ahead of the camera.” That is how “on” appeared.
However, this team plays music, communicates with one another, and interacts with one another in the changing rooms as well.

Flutey hasn’t played before for women’s rugby, but the Black Ferns have.
Madison, his daughter, dragged him into the game. She decided rugby was the sport she wanted to play like her father when she was nine years old when she watched Portia Woodman-Wickliffe prepare for the Rio 2016 Sevens.
Flutey has been a part of her teams since moving to Otago Spirit, one of New Zealand’s elite domestic teams, after graduating from the club, first team, and then first team.
He claims that “she’s always enjoyed having her dad there, helping her and coaching her.”
Because my three sons criticized me for always supporting her teams, I’ve tried to get out of it a few times.
“But Maddie said, “No, you can’t,” she was. There are no coaches for us. You must instruct us, ” “.
“And coming into this has actually really, really helped,” he said.
A new generation of Black Ferns stars, such as 18-year-old full-back Braxton Sorensen-McGee and Sevens convert Jorja Miller, have been taught how to attack in a field of ice and find space as the game disintegrates, according to Flutey’s remit.
He appears to be meeting the job description with 18 tries so far in two tries scored in victories over Spain and Japan.
Flutey isn’t yet allowing himself to picture a face-to-face meeting with Mitchell, though.
He said, “We’re sitting third in the world rankings, and we’re fully aware of that.”
You’re aware that we lost the Irish game last year. The Ireland game will be a massive, massive Test match for us.
“We’ve been putting all of our eggs in the basket and getting ready for the team coming up, and we’ve been focusing on each game as it comes.”
We haven’t even considered or considered England.
We are aware of their talent, which includes some outstanding players in their squad, and which haven’t been matched in a while.

Mitchell and Flutey may have business ideas for rugby to come up with later this month.
This winter, Flutey’s daughter, Madison, will fly over from New Zealand to train with Exeter Chiefs’ Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) team.
When WXV was held in New Zealand in 2023, Mitchell sent an invitation to Riki and Madison to watch England training.
Madison, 16, spoke with then-Exeter coach Susie Appleby after she shopped with some England staff members.
Madison has been sending over clips from her games to the Chiefs ever since she captained a South Island XV as part of New Zealand’s under-18s high performance programme this summer.
Without the lengthy residency period her father did, she would be eligible for the Red Roses because she was born in London.
She said, “Dear, I want to play for England, like you did, and the British and Irish Lions,” after going into the women’s environment in England.
She hasn’t been so sure, though, since I’ve got this role! I just responded, “You do it, sweetie.”

Muyiwa Adejobi, the force’s public relations officer, has been shifted to the Delta State Police Command by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

When asked if Swift’s fiancee would feel different, Kelce responded, “Yes, 100%. I thought it was my first time introducing Taylor as my fiancée to a few of my teammates during the game. It was quite cool.
“I still feel excited.” It’s exciting times, and I adore it. I appreciate everyone who reached out and sent a message, as well as all the posts and the ongoing excitement.

You’ve got to know them, I say. You can’t allow how someone else acts make you feel compelled to do it.
“I would just say, get to know your partner, get to know who you’re working with, and get to know your goals.” The rest will be beautiful as well.
Kelce acknowledged that he hadn’t “thought about it one second” when being asked about a stag party and potential invitees.

You can tell when the most powerful player in Scottish rugby declares that more of the same from the national team is no longer sufficient.
David Nucifora, the performance director, most certainly delivered that message on Wednesday when he formally announced a number of fresh appointments and new ideas for the way the game is conducted in Scotland.
His contract extension extends to 2027 for Gregor Townsend. The Glasgow Warriors coach, Franco Smith, is also active.
A brand-new player pathway program has been created with experts from the likes of Team Andy Murray, GB Aquatics, the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the Major League Baseball (MLB) in addition to the artificial intelligence field.
Al Kellock, the managing director of Glasgow and the club’s hero, is a closer match for the top performance position and is likely to take the position from Nucifora when it comes time to take the top performance position.
The here and now was primarily about Townsend, but all those new department head managers are tasked with developing future talent.
Nucifora is a fan. He completely supports Townsend, applauds his efforts, and believes he deserves a better chance to do better. He describes him as the best.
He is currently in a position where our team is progressing nicely, leading to a 2027 World Cup, according to Townsend Townsend’s Nucifora. He now has a much larger, support- and bulk-focused high-performance department centered on him.
“Gregor is a person who is constantly striving to improve and improve.” He is a perplexing coach. He wants to discover ways to grow both the team and himself personally. When you lose your desire to learn and grow, you realize head coaches are likely to run their own time, and Gregor is undoubtedly not. He has never been more or more keen than he has ever been.
Nucifora was asked if his response to the Six Nations and World Cup performances was more of the same. No, in high performance you never sit still, he replied. You must constantly be evolving.
So more money for Townsend, but it seems there is also more pressure to deliver, even though his chief executive, Alex Williamson, would not discuss specific goals.
He asserted that “we’re not taking wins and losses as hard targets.” On that basis, I simply believe you fall head over your shoulders.
We are very focused on having the best coaches and what we believe to be a very talented group of players with more players coming through our pipeline, which puts us in the best position for the World Cup and, prior to that, the Six Nations.
Williamson was similarly questioned about whether or not Scotland would continue to finish somewhere in the Six Nations.
No, I don’t believe that would apply to any organization, regardless of whether it is high performance or not because, he said, “You are immediately going backwards at a rate of knots” when you become content with where you are.
We have a lot of ambitions; we’re making investments in our high-performance environment to levels that Scottish Rugby has never before made. This is the first indication of our intentions, I suppose, and I want to be the world’s premier rugby union.
So, there’s no pressure then. More resources will be provided for Townsend in physiotherapy, rehabilitation, nutrition, and other areas. These serve as the foundation for the new initiatives that Nucifora and Williamson have announced.
“I would say that our structure has been set up slightly in Gregor,” Williamson said. He will now have a full-time high-performance environment that is dedicated to him because we are changing that.
The men’s national team will have dedicated strength and conditioning physios, nutritionists, and coaching resources, Williamson said.
“He immediately receives a boost of, let’s say, 40% in terms of actual available time from individuals,” he says.
“And then we have a pathway that is being developed to enable players to progress both with their already-developed specialist skills and more quickly.
“I think they have everything they need to be the best version of the Scottish national team, both physically and mentally. We’re giving ourselves the best chance possible for success.
Scotland will face the United States, Argentina, New Zealand, and Tonga in four games in the fall. Before the Calcutta Cup takes place in Edinburgh a week later, their Six Nation campaign will kick off in Rome. Townsend will play for Scotland for the 100th time in that series.
The campaign, Townsend’s penultimate Six Nations, is completed by Wales, France, and Ireland. Third place is what he achieved in 2023 and 2018 with his best-place finish. On his watch, Scotland finished fourth on five occasions.
Is that adequate? Is it more consistent? A title challenge deserving of the name is unquestionably the goal in the course of this enormous effort to advance Scotland on all fronts.
