Re: Favourite movie by an actor you hate
Nicholas Cage and Leaving Las Vegas is a great call. One of the few accurate portrayals of a boozer on screen that doesn't make it look glamorous. LLV is great, no question, but do people really 'hate' Nic Cage? He's made some dodgy choices due to tax issues for sure, and some strategic over-acting...

Re: Aussie woman punched at the Principality
Serious question as I have never really noticed it before, but is there a fan issue in Welsh rugby? This is unpleasant, but I have seen unsavoury instances in different stadia across the rugby world, including Murrayfield. They were isolated and if this is also then fine, especially as other Welsh ...

How many players do a team have to lose before a match is abandoned? How many players have to get a red card before the message sinks in? In the clip above it looks very much as though red 8 hits the chin of the ball carrier with his shoulder = red card. There may be other angles that disprove that...
