Cornish rugby legend Richard Sharp has been offering some words of wisdom to Jack Nowell as he prepares to become a British and Irish Lion.

Exeter Chiefs and England winger Nowell has been selected for the Lions squad for this summer's tour of New Zealand.

Sharp played for the Lions in the 1962 tour to South Africa (some of whom are pictured), but had to work shifts at South Crofty tin mine to pay for his trip.

"I do not think that Warren Gatland would want one of his star players to do that now," Sharp told BBC Radio Cornwall.

He said that, when he joined the tour, he was given 10 shillings (50p) a day "pocket money". It’s been reported that the current Lions players could earn up to £70,000 each as a tour fee.

The latest government figures reveal there are about 300 vacancies in children's social care roles across the South West. 

In Devon and Torbay, about a fifth of posts are vacant. In Plymouth, every one in 20 roles is empty.

The government is now running a special bursary scheme offering potential recruits a 14-month fast-track programme. 

Cornwall Council has been running its own trainee scheme, but is now joining forces with authorities in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay. 

Cornwall Council said its its own trainee scheme had brought in 33 new social workers over five years, and it hoped to build on that by taking part in the government initiative.

The RSPCA says dog owners should be more conscious of the dangers of leaving dogs in vehicles.  

It comes after a man in St Ives broke a car window last week because he thought a dog inside needed rescuing. Clive Oxley said he'd do it again and he believed that, if he hadn't, the dog would have died. 

Holly Barber, from the RSPCA, said: "It's tragic people having dogs and leaving them in hot cars. It's something we come across time and time again during the summer months. 

"We campaign about it on a regular basis, but it still happens and we need to change people's attitudes."
