They are pure banter at the moment. The state of Fernandes and Onana trash talking Championship players during the shootout after hanging on in the game by a toenail. I couldn't believe what I was seeing with that trash talk... kids... Ten Haag... seconds away from the sack.. VR may just have saved...

Game 2 Nuggets v Lakers was awesome, huge comeback from Denver punctuated by a Murray buzzer beater (and in a reversal of game 2 of the 2020 series, it was in AD's face). Lakers will complain about some refs calls but you kind of feel that was their shot. NY v Philly was a crazy comeback, b2b steal...

Not likely, it was apparently streamed through a french app, and it was a bad stream you cpouldn't see much with anyway apparently.

Irfu were late to the game absolutely. However except for a 2 year blip after a host of senior players retired Ireland has been competitive with everyone if not the best of the rest. They must be doing something right. In fact it's only England France Oz and NZ that have bettered Ireland in terms o...

The rain could be good for helping develop and execute skills, though England can resort to their stronger wet weather game.

Scrums and open play apart, Welsh forwards put in a shift. Wales use of its slender platform however was woeful. There are one or two 3/4 chubsters whom I like (eg Lisa Thomson) but the shape of one or two of the Welsh lasses was surprising. And George's kicking slow, predictable and inconsistent. ...

Just saw the England-Ireland score. Jesus what happened there? I thought Ireland were on the improve? I recommend watching it in the BBC iPlayer Auck. Possibly the best performance by a women’s rugby team I’ve personally (doesn’t mean it’s fact) watched. Mitchell has got us in a completely differen...

Perhaps if the irfu put some money into the women's game rather than just bank-rolling leinster then they wouldn't get utterly humiliated. Could see a hundred here. Shame that the irfu are still stuck in the last century. This! The difference is down to support the Unions give and have given. The c...

Was the forensic tent not in their joint house? If they’re apart I’m not sure what she’s getting from a 100k camper van for his mam? They are officially together. The rumours of them being apart only based on the "nudge nudge, wink wink" Sturgeon surely is into women rumours which appear to have ne...

Very interesting backlines for both Wales and France. Will be fun seeing how that plays out, even if I'm still worried for Wales, whose confidence must be in the gutter. The Principality is looming large right now... Can't wait for Italy v Scotland. That has 'Banger' written all over it. 45k+ at Tw...

88-10 Just back from the game. England ladies came fully strapped on today and went in hard. I'm enjoying seeing Mitchell really improve and make use of England's backline and their attacking play today was mostly super. You can see England knew exactly where to go at each ruck and they have clear ...

The 6 nations is a good competition without England. The other teams gain nothing playing England and England gain nothing from this either. End this tournament it's serves no purpose at all.

That's kind of how these things work though. Working hand in glove together for years so you don't check everything if you know what I mean.

Ban it and implement the death penalty for any smoke dealers.

Some delightful shilling on behalf of Russia. One could just as easily contend, and perhaps more accurately, a Ukraine that was also attuned to the West was more valuable to the West for how that would deepen the connection to Russia. And no matter how much Ukraine looked increasingly to the West t...

It is. I guess it shows that politics is often like supporting a football team and people can't change. Goerge Bush courted the Christian evangelical crowd, and Trump inherited them.

Zelenskyy was interviewed last night on the PBS Newshour by Amna Nawaz, in Kyiv . The piece was perhaps 10 minutes long. He was pissed.

It is no coincidence that the 2 countries that are seriously looking at a calendar year limit on sales are the NZ and UK. Both countries with a NHS. Suspect that this idea will play out like every other smoking regulation as becoming more appreciated over time. Pity the NZ dropped the proposal befo...

The UK already has one of the lowest smoking rates in the developed world, under 15% of people smoke, down from around 35% in 2000. That's considerably below the 20-40% range across most of the EU. The anti-smoking legislation passed during that time clearly had some effect. I would've preferred ha...

I am not a smoker but I wonder if such a ban will only strengthen mafia and other criminal groups in pushing these sales to the black market - similar to what Prohibition did with alcohol.

People (well, mostly Arsenal fans) have lost their minds over this. There’s still only 2 points covering the top 3. You’d think they lost 10 points yesterday the way they’ve seemingly given up.
