Yes, normally. A lot of races (particularly longer races where backpacks/trailvests are common) are now demanding you carry your own receptacle for fluids to minimise plastic waste

The art of polishing a glass when it comes out the washer before it is put on the shelf is lost in this country.

Hasn't that long been banned on hygiene grounds?

Jacket pocket btw. Need to get me one of those nice Garmin watches that plays music or podcasts. Just run. Listening to music whilst running is dangerous and headphones/earpods etc are banned in all IAAF sanctioned races. Never hear of aftershokz? Never tried them. I'm not trying to be argumentativ...

If the bench choice is Lawes or Launch then (Assuming Form and Fitness) surely the choice has to be Lawes as he offers you more tactical versatility.

When you bring current form into it I am not convinced that Launch should be in the 23 at the moment

I did my first 10km last night. Pretty happy with it as it had been a goal for the year. Had to adjust my pace a few times as my lungs were about to burst. Worst part was getting a lain in my shoulder towards the end. Remarkably little pain in my legs today. Shoulder pain is an indentifier that you...

Well done SA. during semi finals week of the WC, after 20+ years of no ban and no warning, might like to get on his knees and make a public apology. The twat. Oh yeah! That was me. You did it in a match thread right after SA beat Japan in the RWC. It was reported by a number of posters. That's the ...

Is our esteemed site admin now writing for Wales Online? Recent comments from Warren Gatland alluding to an inkling one player may have been taking them during his tenure were swiftly dismissed after the Wales coach “clarified” his thoughts. Nothing more than dressing room banter was the general gis...

So we have the serial fantasist, the people who poke fun at him, and the people who feel compelled to show their bemusement at the people who poke fun at him.

Horner comes across as a right plonker in that series. The Haas bloke is clearly playing to the cameras and Grosjean comes across as a massive idiot

Lads when you have a physio programme is it worth doubling up in the exercises if you have the time? I normally barely get the usual reps done but am a bit more flexible at present. He has five exercises listed with three reps of ten. I do them in the morning. Would it be worth doing that again on ...

Fair enough Globby but...

I’ll confess to not knowing the ins and outs but I’m sure the WRU made a loss in 2019 and a £2m profit in 2018. Doesn’t sound greedy to me. Now competence is a different matter but it’s not like even disgustingly large senior salaries can hide the fact that there’s not a huge surplus of money swash...

Tailgaters in 30mph zones. Typically when I'm in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway because I've got to be to get my correct turn, and I won't go over 30 (fed up with points and fines) and a tailgater will flash me, then overtake on the inside doing 40.

My heart always sinks a bit seeing Dunn in the squad, he's just a decent Prem player imo. Then I remember that outside George and LCD, there really aren't any standout English hookers, which is a bloody travesty. Only 2 hookers so Dunn will see game time. Think you are being a bit harsh, he has loo...

Definitely feeling like England got away with another crap selection by out enthusing their opposition (who totally shat the bed). With a decent 9, 12,8 and a back 3 made up of back 3 players we should have seen a score like in the RWC warm up. At the minute players like Ford and Joseph are playing...

Ireland looking really poor today. Farrell was anonymous today other than when humping Standers leg. Daly is still a 23 at best and Ewels at 8 WTF?

FFS the Irish player was going for the kick block and actually pulled back. Refs got that one right. Some of the spears into rucks from all angles were far worse.
