Yeah, great post. Sad to see IRE leave early, they contributed so much to this RWC.

Luciano

Thanks guys, very classy of you!

It's reasonable to block flights from a place that has a new variant for a short period until it is understood which are its consequences. If the Chinese had warned about the disease quickly, and the corresponding areas isolated, we wouldn't even be in this situation. But most of the corona measures...

One of the tragedies of recent times in rugby was seeing Ben Smith dropped for that SF against England.

F*** that NZ coaching team.

So. Fox2 and CBS Sports, not bad? About as good as we could hope for? Or am I missing something They're the bottom of the barrel sports channels. All things considered, yeah, about as good as can be hoped. Coming up next, on the Ocho: The Austin Gilgronis take on the LA Giltinis!! Which cocktail wi...

The rugby will still be better than if Georgia played those games (that has never defeated a 6N team in a test) or any of the European teams playing in the "6N B"

Luciano

This is my order

RWC, XV Internationals, Super Rugby, Heineken Cup, 7s at Olympics, League "WC", playoffs of English Premiership / French League / Pro whatever number nowadays, SOO

Luciano

I haven't seen anything about this in the Argentinean media. Looks like pure speculation (or plain clickbait), specially taking into account that Jaguares is now a development team confined to the SLAR.

Luciano

Replacing Italy with Georgia in the 6N? That just doesn't work right now. Even if Georgia happened to be better than Italy (that they aren't), they are on the opposite side of Eurasia. :(( It is not so easy for the fans to travel to Georgia for a weekend from the other countries of the 6N. Adding lo...

This. The indigenous one is beautiful too, and should be used more often.

They’re a good, well run union all in all. They won’t have taken that decision lightly and it’s a terrible shame. But Covid’s screwing the finances of most unions I guess. Yeah, it's also one of the first times the Women's team hasn't been cut in such a situation. I assume due to the fact they are ...

at least we have not had any votes for Al Di Meola On a rock guitarists thread? Mind you, no-one has mentioned Dimebag yet, and he has a better shout at being on the rock guitar Mt. Rushmore than 90% of the names mentioned so far. I thought about him, but I have really only listened to one album of...

Totally off topic, although related I guess. I saw Andres Segovia many years ago at the Sydney Town Hall. No amplification. He filled the place with the most amazing, beautiful music. How many of these "stars" could do that? All of them are accomplished guitarist, you may like not like their style ...

6? OK, I will give it an improvised try: Hendrix Buckethead (Don't know him? Shame on you - GoT style) :nod: Gilmore Adrian Smith (Maiden and Dickinson solo) Blackmore (in Purple, not his solo stuff about fairies) Frusciante (RHCP and solo) (Cheating ;) ) Honorable Mentions: - Dave Murray (the other...

I'm surprised there was no interest in integrating the Jaguaes into a European club comp? They are better than any of the South African franchises. I guess the travel and time zones aren't as compatible as the South African teams? Playing the SA teams is already quite a logistical challenge. Adding...

Luciano

¿Por qué no los dos? 7 team comp with a bye. Who knows which kind of economic and legal factors UAR is considering. :? I feel pity for the businessman that was passionate (or crazy) enough to invest in Ceibos. I would also have preferred to keep both teams, and spread the talent pool so that there ...

One hill I will die on though is high socks when wearing shorts and tennis shoes (for guys).

I don't think Jaguares will consider that speculative proposal, but stranger things have happened.

There's a reason everyone hates argentines in South America. I hope that you can come back and have a better experience other time. Being from AR and trying to be objective: some South Americans hate certain group from the Greater Buenos Aires area. Probably, you were exactly in that area with a hi...

He's hardly being raked over the coals. Stood down for one match and loses the captaincy. Just to mention that they have been suspended until a decision is made after a formal disciplinary process. Nobody knows if it is for one match only yet. Source: (Spanish) https://uar.com.ar/2020/11/30/comunic...

He is going to kak when he plays against South Africa again. Seems that his stupid post was aimed to immigration to Argentina, not South Africa. He is cheering that he is leaving Argentina. Also, the racist word that he used it is not normally used in a derogatory way towards African people, but to...

Idiot.

Seems that when he is referring "finally leaving", he is speaking about Argentina, and going to SA on tour.

But who knows what went on his head when he typed that.

Luciano

Thats what it means, however in Central America it is not automatically a derogatory reference. Assume it is the same in Argentina. In this case it seems to be. Let the powers that be back in Argentina deal with it as they see fit. You are right, but in this case, it was used in an derogatory way.

Luciano

Similarly to the Cavini case, negro or negrito is as a synonym for “mate” or “buddy” in South American countries. I have plenty of mates over there that would call each other that regularly. Depends on the context of the conversation. He should be given the opportunity to provide that context (if t...

Clinical. Too good! Argentina looked tired and you can’t blame them. Was it though? Thought the scoreline flattered the ABs. Pumas looked tired and understandably so. Only a few pumas had played the 3 matches in a row and were tired. The rest were just out of their depth. Ledesma even threw both ro...

Apparently the Boca junior fans have murdered two of the three guys who took selfies at Maradonas body Seems like an entirely reasonable and proportionate response. Fake news, but it is true that they have received death threats. Edit: Link, in Spanish https://www.clarin.com/deportes/empleado-funer...

Dont the Aussies need to win by 100 or something based on point difference?

We will put our C team to assure the result
