Being lesbian doesn't necessarily mean they're not MILFs.

I've never fully understood why heading the ball forward isn't much more of a thing in rugby. Because trying to pull that off is a hell of a lot harder than trying to catch it with your hands? True, but catching it isn't always the preferable thing to do, like fly-hacking is often better than picki...

You could throw a blanket over Rochford, Southend and Westcliff who are all around level 4 I think. It's just money thats required. I think Saracens looked at playing at the new Colchester stadium briefly but Nigel Wray lives in Totteridge so they were never realistically going to move from North Lo...

There's probably not much Rugby played in East London or South/East London? Are there any decent clubs in Kent/Essex areas?

There is a way to make RU bigger than RL in Australia but it require a concerted effort on behalf of World Rugby, plenty of money and about 20 years.

It would be worth it though.

I used to coach a women's rugby team about 10 years ago. They weren't known as a lesbian team but about half the team were lesbian. Most of the teams in the league we played were similar although a few of them marketed themselves as full-lesbian. That's a lot of it about.

Why? The last thing the Premiership needs is a another club in West London. Especially one that won't get any fans and will be chock full of journeymen.

No. They drew. Would have felt like a win though. Saracens were miles in front.

Don't forget the media's influence on how things are reported either.

I'm neither. It's you. You're an idiot. The foul is to deliberately prevent a pass without any attempt to catch the ball or be in any position to effect an attempt to catch it IN OPEN PLAY. It's really quite simple. Except its not a 'foul,' you are allowed to do this as long as the ball doesn't go ...
