Re: World population to hit 11bn in 2100
The point is that the planet can sustain a population of that size, but not if we all want to live like the resource-wasting westerners that we are. Most of the population growth will be in sub-Saharan Africa, guess who will get the blame for this unsustainability. Get your point, but the real issu...

Re: The multiplication of red cards in rugby because of the new laws about head tackling
Policing the high, ball dislodging clatter tackle and torpedo ruck entry will make a huge difference to head safety I think. King hit high tackling was not always the norm in rugby. It's definitely a pro era thing. Lowering tackles makes offloads more possible and by extension result on a more free ...
