The man's made a fortune and must have loads of collaborators in order to pull off his various stunts. Why the pretence that no one knows who he is? Why hasn't he been definitively outed? It was deduced several years ago who it was. And they published his name. And nobody gave a sh1t Because the na...

Re: The annihilation of minnows at the RWC is a huge embarrassment to the sport
How the fûck did Australia beat Namibia 142-0? That is genuinely impressive. Last night it seemed that France scored tries whenever they wanted, and they didn’t crack 100 'Impressive'?
