It's probably the photo, or my memory; but it looks like she's had some work done, and not for the best imho. She looks quite different, to me at least.

A magnificent author. RIP

I have a message for 2020.

Indeed. What a monumentally shit year. This just adds to it, agree with your view on his writing talents. Really enjoyed his books.

Yep, been to Montreal a couple of times and agree it's a great town. I like Toronto a lot. The comparisons to Melbourne are fair in my experience, though the climate is obviously a lot better here. Both cities have a great vibe and are fantastic places to live. Where do you hang out in Toronto? Onl...

.and he says well one market fücked is NFL because of lawsuits etc. Well that ain't happened and to be honest they weathered the storm after an initial big pay out but now miserly ones.

I'd love it if Wales could land him (Robertson). Seems to be a lull on the talent coming out of the regions / academies at the moment, (I'm musing here, I don't know FACT pal!). Hopefully it's not the beginning of a longer down-cycle. So that would be after Henry, Hansen, Gatland and Pivac. Wouldn'...

Real shame. Hero to zero in ~2 weeks. Well, hopefully he has changed / matured, and can demonstrate to / convince others he has done so. Has he said anything remotely similar in the last 8 years? Good question, I don't know the answer to this but I don't think there has been mention of more recent ...

The problem is the players are too big. Reduce the amount of subs to 6 to make the cardiovascular requirements greater. No one gets tired in the final 20 minutes anymore. I'd like to see this trial led too. I do struggle withe scenario when you run out of subs , due to injuries - too bad, like the ...

Too good England , that defense is something else, really tough. Enjoy the win and evening!

Morgan14

It's tough to imagine the current Welsh attack getting much change out of the English defense, which looked superb I'll admit. It may very well be a game I'll regret watching, like the 62-5 one, thanks whoever brought it up on this thread and reminded me of it.

My experience in this is more local, so my guess is that high school rugby won't run in the spring like it normally does, the 2nd year in a row. That's 2 years out of the 4 that are the formative years for so many North American rugby players that's lost to them. That has to impact interest in the s...

Imho need a new head coach (plenty of excellent homegrown candidates for them to choose from). Adn then need to mould a better pack, not that it's bad by any stretch, but it's come back down to a level that certain other teams can live with and on their day, better. The NZ backline from 9-15 is stil...

Morgan14

I'm expecting a bit of a humping, a score differential similar to the one vs France, and maybe worse as morale certainly hasn't improved. Ireland very good at the breakdown too. I'm not sure Pivac is the correct choice for the top job, I haven't seen a huge sign of improvement in many / any facets o...

Morgan14

Any standouts?

Defense and fitness levels appear lower to my in expert eye

How is the depth?

Morgan14

Well played by the French, made life very tough in the rucks, no quick ball and lots of turnovers . And at least 3 fantastic tries, seriously fun to watch.

Morgan14

Departed was so good for 98% of its running time, and then the ending goes and sucks sh*t, completely ruins the filum. On par with the ending for Game of Thrones.

Morgan14

I've never driven one, nor will I in all likelihood, (not that interested tbh), but I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for the Countach (looks-wise), still looks amazing to me. I understand it is an extremely uncomfortable car to drive in, I suppose not surprisingly.

Morgan14

DTH and Shane

Amongst the current lot / active players, maybe Radradra? But plenty of candidates

So many good names on this thread though, it's been fun as i read through the posts - "oh yeah, that guy was amazing! holy sh*t, that next player was so fun to watch, so good!"

Arrows have signed Rob Howley onto their coaching staff, in a consulting role. He's also joining the Rugby Canada coaching staff. Good signing imho for both outfits, and hopefully lets him get his career back on track.

Henry Cavill would’ve been a good choice Yes,agreed. Thought he did well as the bad guy in one of the recent Mission Impossible films, which could have translated well as a darker Bond. Imho. Also did the debonair spy thing well in The Man from UNCLE (underrated film imo; would love them to do anot...

My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way. Always lots of wasted space: bowls on the top rack, no orderly placement of plates, other times bowls or cups are put in completely random places. Frustrating as hell. I find myself continually rearranging the c...

Not really an autobiography, but I enjoyed Dallaglio's Tales From the Back of the Bus - short stories from various players about funny and/or interesting things that happened to them on and off the field. Not end-to-end hilarity by any means but a few gems in there

Sad about the CFL cancelation but it also shows why MLR is not going to work either in this climate. The CFL unlike the NFL are reliant on gameday revenues to help meet the bills. The CFL gets a lot more money from TV rights than MLR does or will for the foreseeable future. Yes, agreed - bums on se...

Hopefully the Wolfpack setback (demise?) can be to the Arrows' benefit. Maybe a few of those fans will make the switch. Anecdotally more than a few of the WP fans I've spoken to were new to rugby of any kind Agreed that there is a need for another Canadian team from the point of view of expanding ru...
