Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Tipuric is among the most gifted rugby players we've produced. Exceptional rugby brain, wonderful skillset that could have seen him play a number of positions. However if I was selecting the best Welsh XV of the professional era I would have Warburton at 7. Sometimes it's not about what you can do,...

Re: The Official and ONLY Ireland v Scotland Match thread

Probably but ref would have had to say try yes or no That was Dickson who said no try the helmet. I still blame the ref because the ref asked him “what’s the on field decision?” Dickson then doubled down on stupidity by saying no try. The TJ doesn’t make the onfield decision the ref should have jus...

In 2020 Anderson voted in favour of the Recall of MPs (Change of Party Affiliation) Bill which would require any time an MP changes party to call a by-election. How does he feel about this now? But given how he's flip flopped about MPs second jobs etc. he'll just try and continue the grift. He chan...

Re: Royals photoshopping pictures of Kate

As an almost daily user of Photoshop, and a white cis male to boot, I can say that if those artifacts are a photoshop job then they make no sense as they're in places where no manipulation would likely be necessary.

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

I said much the same earlier in the thread. The way our forwards were bashed around at times in that match looked like men against boys. We were conceding ground in every tackle (I can't actually recall a single big hit), and rarely denting the French line. Yeah, check out the ratings thread. I exp...

Every game he's had balls of steel, natural replacement for Liam Williams. Gotta find one for Adams now.
That and some sort of better centre pairing.
This pair are probably worth another run?
They’ve both started this half well.

In fairness Pearce speaks French, which allows the French to point out to him some areas to watch out for, which they struggle to do otherwise.

Re: I was in my thirties

I joined in 98/99 I think, when I was in my mid-30s. After a few years, and after multiple bored reboots (IIRC), I stopped posting.

Then I rejoined a few years ago. I'm 60 in August. How the fůck did that happen?
