How much do the All Blacks get paid by the RFU when they come to Twickenham.
Presumably it is fudge all given that NZ is a tiny market.

I trust all those who have been blindly cheerleading BT/PRL are watching the coverage of the Bath - Leicester game.
A f**king annoying permanent bar along the top of the screen with the chavball scores and then virtually the whole of half-time spent talking about chavball. The priorities are clear.

My in laws are going to Cape Town and the surrounding area (wine?) in May - total 6 days.
They are not short of a bob or two and like the good life.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
Any abuse or piss taking - expected

It's a bit of classic, but knew a Michael Hunt at uni. Not that funny now, but went to school with an Anita Weadge. She'd often get called to the office at the end of school - picked up or somesuch - and we'd all giggle hearing her name. There was a ref in Ontario called Harry Mann. Best mate used ...

Some just aren't good enough, you can't always beat your PB even in an event you have been focussing on for a long time. We're getting spoiled and expecting too much! :P Only one swimmer set a PB. I don't think the swimmer's had their head in the game. Can you imagine the quality of eager young tai...

GB Medal Outlook Sporting Index quoting GB golds at 28-29.5 and total medals at 66-68 There's surely no way we're going to get another 10 Golds. Today could see 5 if I'm not mistaken - 2 dressage, triathlon and 2 cycling. Well yes, we have the chance of another 10...but as I said, I'd be amazed if ...

You're going for another 3 golds by the way brits in Equestrian I believe. Skelton is favourite for the individual jumping on Wed. Then there is the team and individual Dressage to go and GB were in front there as well in the Grand Prix stage. Has anybody else found any newspapers/media coverage wh...

Spread bookies quote on GB gold is still around 27* this morning, so those of you who think 20+ is good should be very happy as these boys don't often get markets like this too wrong.

Some on here are pathetic, and rather rude to a professional athlete. Laura Robson is an 18 year old girl who got to the final of the mixed doubles in the Olympics. Of course she can play tennis, but there is also a reason that she hasn't got a top ranking: she's not that good but one of the best B...

The Brazilians hurdlers are understandably looking a touch nervous. Last time one of them jumped a barrier in London we shot him.
