Re: 2023/2024 European Champions Cup

C'mon. Lleyds knocked it on initially, and then passed it forward later on. Stormers robbed there.

Re: Start your engines (again) Black Caps vs Proteas CWC

Looking good for the Proteas in this match.

But this obviously spells bad news for the knockouts. That other C word will be looming large.

If Faf limps off in the first 5 minutes, we'll be stuffed. We had four scrumhalves in the squad, but only one makes the matchday 23 in the final. :uhoh:

Re: Le Tour 2023

Cracking final climb here. Pogacar attacks, but Vingegaard refuses to be dropped. On his second attack 500m from the summit, the motorbikes blocked him and is significative. Pogacar must be pissed and I think that had a mental impact. He was then surprised by Vingegaard. Yes the bikes stuffed that ...

I wasn't convinced that JV had the right tactic there. Leaving Vingegaard alone 4km from the summit was dangerous. Nice stage again. I got the feeling that they were a bit overconfident today. When Kuss swung off on the Tourmalet you could just tell that Pogacar was having a good day. Completely di...

Yep, and he's kept his powder dry. No panic at all, just followed the wheel.

Might he attack in these closing stages?

Vingo beat Pog in the TT last year. Neither has a definite edge over the other. If anything, the lack of TT keeps Hindley as a contender for longer (presuming he survives the Tourmalet today).
