Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
Hathaway. He did choose England under 20s which got Byron Hayward chuntering last year,. He doesn't seem the biggest, not quite Stephens small, but not a big guy by any stretch and his defence has looked a little lightweight, so might find that England is a step too far. Might find that he rediscov...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
Anyone else heard of Shane Lewis-Hughes to Scarlets? No but not surprising, he’s been way out of favour for unknown reasons, same for Owen lane and I’d expect both to be gone, both more than good enough to be starters elsewhere. SLH, is a significantly better 6 than Mann and has been poorly managed...

I've heard a rumour they are all backrow players - Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Basham, Sneezy and Dopey, with Rod Snow White being the new forwards coach. Quite feasible with Welsh rugby these days.

I'm actually very surprised to learn that the population ratio is that low. Good point about the advantages of defence over attack also. However, starting from here, victory for Russia requires little more than consolidation of the territory it's already taken whereas victory for Ukraine requires e...

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?
The UK already has one of the lowest smoking rates in the developed world, under 15% of people smoke, down from around 35% in 2000. That's considerably below the 20-40% range across most of the EU. The anti-smoking legislation passed during that time clearly had some effect. I would've preferred ha...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
Granpa Question for you. I want you to be honest…. If Liverpool had Haaland instead of Darwin, do you think they win the PL this season? Yes, probably. Also if they had Kane, Toney, Isak or Watkins. But I'd still want Nunez in the side... He's not a proper number 9. Diaz is playing in his position....
