There isn't a version of the multiverse where VDM gets selected for the tests ahead of the other wing options, presuming all are fit.

Xi is unwell now? That's the trifect with him, Putin, and Kadyrov all nearly dead in the last year.

Reports from where?
Threats from whom? Members of the public who are blindly faithful to Trump, out from within the party?

That was shit.

I'm surprised Bealham and Hansen are starting this one as you'd think they would want (and the media would want them) to play against the Brumbies. The fact that they aren't suggests you're probably right. Hanson is no where near a test side without injuries. Freeman is the 14 I think you've misrea...

It would be hilarious if it was Sexton who wanted Faz Jnr called up.

Furlong is younger and has fewer miles on the clock. Why do you think Furlong wouldn't be able to recover form when fully fit? Accepted that his niggle might harm his chances but otherwise? The 'trajectory' you speak of is injury not form related. Or are you just talking about the here and now for ...

Bealham wasn't (edit: clearly) ahead last season Nols. Furlong had an excellent 23/24. Particularly the 24 part. He played 26 games, the most he'd played since 17/18, Everyone seems to have blanked it for some reason Yes, but given their respective trajectories over those two seasons, it's highly u...

Nolanator

Most Irish fans would have Bealham close to level with Furlong at this stage (ahead this season but Furlong has hardly played). Only a fully fit and form proven Furlong should start the tests. And even if he starts the next three games, I'm not sure that's enough. I'm guessing he'll start this Sat ...

Out of boredom (and because the script was still open on my laptop) I revisted that look at the number of Executuve Orders issued by each president. Data sourced here . Number of EOs per month, 3-month rolling average to smooth a bit of the noise. Ideally a 6-month rolling average would be better, b...

They'd be the handiest to get someone into camp ASAP.

Flying from Tblisi to Sydney might be a bit of a trek, though!
No, it's the French B team in NZ.

Oh shit yeah. Forgot about that "Surprise, surprise...." shit happening all over again.

Edit, just checked Skyscanner there. Not too bad. Tblisi-Dubai. Dubai-Sydney. Thought there might be more connections.

Nolanator

He has a massive body of work with the coaches as well, having been heavily involved with Ireland for years now, and been very successful.

While Furlong's peak was higher Bealham has been the better of the two for the last year.

You clearly haven't been watching either of those two for the last two years.

I read both... and didn't think there was much in it... :lol: But anyway... back to the point... Ski having a go at right wing media?

I wonder what general Azeri opinion of Russia is after that plane that was hit by a SAM and then the Russians conspired for it to crash in the Caspian to cover their tracks.

Was watching Ryan closely after he came on earlier. Didn't seem to have much to do.
Was hoping he maraud around the place melting rucks, but the game didn't seem to go his way.

What the absolute fúck is that haircut?

Nolanator

Super tackle from Mitchell, falling over backwards to knock the guy into touch.

Absolutely none of the Lions wanted to support Jones' intercept. Jogging along hoping he didn't get tackled.

I forgot this was on. Easily done, mind. It’s a forgettable Loins squad playing a forgettable team on a forgettable tour. I won’t even ask for the score. Don't forget to post about how little you care about it or tell everyone that you don't care about the score. Gotta make sure everyone knows you ...

I have seen the light.

He's grown up, so to speak, a huge amount in the last few years.
Always had the skillz, now he's got the attitude and temperment to complement.

I get it from really tight pecks and generally poor shoulder mobility/range of motion.
Puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the underside of my forearm just beside the elbow.

Well done Nole :thumbup: :thumbup: Thanks! And, like night follows day, I aggravated my shoulder quite badly when benching today. Rotator cuff issue that's been bugging be for ages.

My elbows feel like they're going to explode for the first few sets of squats. Shoulders are very tight and squatting low-bar puts incredible rotational strain on the elbows. They tend to loosen out as I go. Stretching my shoulders actually makes squatting more comfortable. I can't do DB shoulder pr...

Manky enough. Was nervous going in and full of adrenaline, found it tough to tread the line between being amped enough and too wound up to keep form.

Having gotten it once now, I probably won't be as wound up next time I attempt it.

Decent analysis and discussion of the strikes and geopolitical aftermath.
Still not clear just how much damage was done to the Fordo, but the strikes were ridiculously accurate.
