Re: The best All Round Rugby Player in the World incl. the 2023 RWC.
Perhaps you could explain your scoring system?
Smith (a forward) scores more for #14 than does DuPont (a back)
And Kolbe, a specialist winger, scores more at #15, than Barrett (a specialist fullback)

Re: War in Ukraine...
I think that’s a valid question. As it turns out, Vietnam went over to the other side and we all survived. It seems like it’s about how high the stakes are. Do we really care if China invades Taiwan? The only material issue would be semi-conductors, probably. Oh, and the south China sea thereafter.

They are ridiculously biased and incapable of reviewing talent on its merits.
Of course, this bias is well-meaning, innocent and heartfelt, but it still makes for shit analysis

Correct. I thought the point of a limited liability company was to limit liability. That's why I don't get why the directors are liable for the tax bill. Is it because the directors allowed it to trade while it was insolvent? https://insolvency.pwc.com.au/singleEntityCases/melbourne-rebels-rugby-un...
