This is the bridge in Hobart I mentioned earlier. A bulk carrier struck it, killing 12; five in cars and seven on the ship.

In my view stopping the score is the reward. Possession should be retained by the attacking team. Like it was for the previous 2 centuries. Indeed. We have a contest for possession in our game. Not a contest for territory like League or gridiron. Gifting it to the opposition for stopping a score is...

There is some very rose tinted views on the goal line dropout. It is supposed to stop pick and goes by forwards near the try line, but yet we still see tons of it.

I had it in my mind that Guscott mainly played at 12. He wore 12, but played 13. It's a useful nuance that Bath traditionally never used the 13 shirt due to superstition, numbering 1-12, 14-16. As a result, Guscott wore 14 for Bath and always 12 for both England and the British and Irish Lions in r...
