Re: SA Junior Rugby Fred - u/19 & u/21 Competitions
For all of it's past and current success, IMHO Australia is still a developing Rugby Union country. Their stuctures are not complete, and they rely on imports and a few elite schools for talent development. Again, IMHO, I might be wrong and ignorant. Saw an article last year where the RFU said it w...

Re: Anyone using the Uber type app to get a cab ?
Do cabs even go to LHR now?? Yeah, black cabs go to and from LHR. If you get a cab from LHR, they have a system where if the journey is within a certain radius of the airport (I think it is about 15 miles), the cabbie can go back to the front of the queue when they return to LHR, if not, they go to...

I use black cabs and mini-cabs from my place now to work. And it is f**king amazing how badly sat-nav directs the mini-cab drivers. Not to mention that many of them cannot drive.

Re: Anyone using the Uber type app to get a cab ?
They're paid too much for driving a car. Historically I don't think they did get paid to much. The knowledge takes years of dedication and people should expect a premium for their knowledge.
