Re: Ed sheeran is a talentless fudge IMO
I'm not even a fan of Ed Sheeran and / or Taylor Swift, but I can still see from some of the live performances they've given, that they've got genuine musical talent. It's not like they're Milli Vanilli or anything. Girl, you know it's true. Get it, get it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/conten...

Re: Ranking the World Cup Winning Scrum-Halves
Is the question which halfback had the best RWC, which was the better player, or which had the better career? You could get different answers for each of those questions.

Re: SRP Round 6: Crusaders vs Chiefs
As a neutral, the Chiefs looked a bit flat tonight. But a good win by the Crusaders. I had been wondering whether it was time to create a new South Island Super Rugby side based in Otago, where the players would wear the Crusaders socks on special occasions.
