Re: Welsh regions to play in BT's Premiership Rugby 7s serie
Is Wales putting in a team in the World club 7s in Limerick in the summer? I have heard little of the event since it was announced. Only teams announced so far: Auckland Blues, Vodacom Blue Bulls, Western Province, Buenos Aires, NSW Waratahs and New York. Brumbies are champions so will likely defen...

Re: Association Football- what do you call it?
Football refers to a ball game played on foot, as opposed to horseback. Not really relevant anymore, but that is how it came about. I don't see the issue with Australia/Ireland/Canada/USA/NZ calling it Soccer. Everyone knows what you mean when you say soccer. Likewise, you know what people mean when...

Re: Why is Australia having a "grim" budget?
Guys, I've got a plan for the debt.
Spend whatever we want, and borrow to pay for it.
Quadruple our defence spending - or more even!
Then tell our debtors we aint payin back shit and those wit kant can fudge off or come and take it.

Wonder if we can sign them up to 15 year contracts from age 20 or something - say $15000 a year and then whatever contracts can be negotiated on top.

Only five picks to go and the squads are complete.

No.
Some positions might end up this way, but there is going to be massive variety. Wing tends to suits Fijians for example.
