Finally, Marcos Moneta underwent leg surgery today, and the prognosis seems to be good.

He could be back for the Olympics in July.

With only one qualification leg to go, both draws have 7 teams already qualified for the Championship tournament in Madrid, 3 other teams already playing in the Relegation one, and the last two battling for the final space in the Top 8: On the women's side: NZ - AUS - FRA - USA - CAN - FIJ & IRE are...

Good to hear it went well in the end, even if it was a damned good scare.

Hope you make a fully and speedy recovery, mate.

LP7 looked way off their season start sdandards. Too impatient in attack, lost to USA because of a wayward pass two metres off the tryline that Baker intercepted to score a lenght of the field try. Then, unable to use clear overlaps, and mostly trying to score of individual actions. Then overwhelmed...

While we're comparing the sports, it's always intrigued me why the lateral pass is not used more in NFL. Videos of last-action plays, usually from college football, are highly entertaining. Is it as simple as the risk of dropping a ball being passed is too high? As far as I've understood, it's a pl...

Generally when a ship losses power as this one did, the rudder gets stuck in the last position it was. They might've been doing a course correction, because it lurches sideways and into the bridge's support. Not much you can do to slow down such a massive ship in such a short distance, so even in wa...

Two choices in each unit: a "classic" and a "modern" one. Classic units tend to be stronger in the pack (and the front row one was a nightmare to choose, since there were quite a few options), while the modern back ones are generally better. With the back three I picked two relatively modern units, ...

If staged during January / February it'd certainly have a full stadium.

LP7 had looked vulnerable in this tournament from the early stages, and were well beaten in the QFs. Isgró's YC was spot on, and could've even been a red since he dived on the irish player without an attempt to wrap but with his shoulder, it was rather reckless from his part. The 2nd one looked like...

Potentially the single greatest post in the history of the bored.

A few years ago we used to be bullied physically by the likes of the ABs, Aus and Fiji , and had no speedsters in the team... qualification for the top 8 in a tournament was seen as a success.

Gondalez is a mobster should step up to 15s post Paris. I see Puma has explained this above. :thumbup: He trialled last year before the RWC, but only made it to Argentina XV.

Argies win it again! Too good once again. AB7s played to the extent of their abilities though (which is a few steps below Argentina). Just not good enough. The 7s programme clearly needs new talent.

I'd say Principality and Aviva, from those I've been to. I've been to the Principality, and the La Plata stadium is at least as good as it when it comes to comfortable accomodations, visibility, services and atmosphere.

While the José Amalfitani is well located, easily accessible and in a decent part of Buenos Aires, with mass transport (buses and trains) easily available, the same can't be said of the La Plata stadium.
