Raspberry pi FFS. It's about double the cost once you've factored in wifi, and it's clunky as f**k to set up.

Re: Sam Burgess....big rumours....

With him missing the Saturday match, I'm hoping to watch him line up for Bath at 6 against the Chiefs on 16/10. Could be an interesting match up at blindside if he plays.

Re: England squad 2016-- looking objectively at things

Surely it depends on who is the next head coach.

A small extension to the "logic" of this idea is that a future Labour ...
