Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

Its a combination of the M50 being at capacity and the closeness of the junctions, and of course selfish drivers. The one that gets me is the guy who, instead of getting into the 4th exit lane good and early, zooms up the outside lane until almost at the junction, flicks on his indicator ( if you'r...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby

I've said for years that the RSA needs to run a serious media campaign on motorway driving. How to use lanes and overtake. Clear the overtaking lanes to serve the purpose for which they're designed, and it'll eliminate the opportunity for people to choose to attempt dangerous manoeuvres. Agree but ...

Utterly pointless signing. Of course, it’ll be funny if Jordie arrives next year, plays the league games during the 6N, and the away games in Safferland, and then, because all our backs are in such good form, doesn’t make the 23 for the Euro games or playoffs. Similarly for Snyman. And by funny, I ...
