Really not cool of him. Like, super not cool.

Yep, me too. I like Maloney and the Stan crew.

Is this going to be sh*t? I don't think the waters, earth or air have good feelings or smell about it. Which makes me sad. Love me some LoTR. Hopefully the miniseries will be better than the Hobbit movies. Which isn't saying much. What on earth makes you think this thread has anything to do with th...

Enjoyed that. Looked to see the impact of important years e.g. 1665 on London

Full respect to the US Open for sticking to their principles. He may have the right to decide if he has a vaccine or not, but they equally have the right not to allow him to put others at risk. Whether you agree with the principles or not, at least there's been complete transparency, and no-one can...

"The Virus" has many variants. The dominant wave at the moment is a strain of the Omicron variant, a considerably less lethal but much more transmissable form that seems to show little vax / non vax differential. However, the Alpha and Delta waves are far less transmissable by the vaccinated in alm...

"The vaccinated are now far more likely to be carrying the virus..." Frequency versus risk (aka likelihood aka odds ratio aka susceptibility) is a simple thing to grasp. Shirely? Maybe not, so... 100 people, 90 are vaccinated, 10 are not. Of those 90 vaccinated 9 are found to be "carrying the virus...

I do think my lower enthusiasm for the professional game (lower; I'm still quite enthused about it however) just comes down to what many of you have mentioned, just how good the defences are (organized, fit, and a missed tackle is a real oddity now). There are plenty of games I've watched this year ...

Poor old Nisbo. He had Scott Gregory flying into the Highlanders backline the other day, who must have been running so fast all his hair blew off. It was in fact Sam Gilbert. Haha, I noticed that as well. I don't know why but I am a little fixated on Scott Gregory - fully realizing he's not All Bla...

If ever was a need of the Gav option it's now I love the Gav option and vote for it 99% of the time. Even in polls / topics / threads I couldn't give two shits about. Gav just keeps on producing. He may not have turned out to be the greatest of all time on the pitch, but he is the greatest of all t...

There are some wonderful scenes, and Robin Wright

but taken as a whole I've never understood the hype / love for Forrest Gump.

Apparently the Six Nations trophy was lost overboard into the depths of the Seine at 6 a.m. Sunday from the team's party boat.

Let's give it a go. I f**king hate changing the clocks (at least in the spring). I also hate having sunset at 430pm in December. at least in the UK we either have 09:30 sunrise or 16:30 sunset in winter, changing the clock will not change how many hours there are in a day. In summer when sunrise is...

He is correct. Policy for eastern europe post soviet collapse has been clumsy. Bullies will strike when taunted. Sure, they shouldn't strike, but you shouldn't taunt them either. Bullies are bullies. You think Putin would have stopped being a bully if 'the West' was submissive and let them away wit...

RC has fired Sandro Fiorino, only right before the Womens WC. BTW, Kingsley Jones is still employed by RC. Rugby Canada has confirmed a change to the Senior Women’s 15s setup which will see Kevin Rouet take the reigns as Head Coach. He replaces Sandro Fiorino who brings an end to an 11-year stint w...

What if the ships just sit far enough off shore and shell the sh*t out of poor Odessa? The 'softening up' tactic. Or is there no 'far enough' that's out of reach of defensive artillery / aerial capabilities (I'm genuinely asking, not a military expert), which mitigates against that possibility?

Morgan14

Well done Blues. Just dismal from the Highlanders. The forwards can almost muster a C pass, although you'd think Coltman would be able to throw in a ball by now. Having no No7 available at the moment is really hurting the Clan. The backline cupboard really is bare. Hunt seems to have lost any form ...

Morgan14

Well done the Spaniards. I am envious!

Morgan14

Agreed about the rucks; couldn't quite get it right. Credit to France there. I was super pleased about the lineout, don't think we lost any of ours, stole one, and messed with a couple of theirs that caused them problems. It wasn't quite as much a defensive weapon in the 2nd half, but just great to ...

Thought the lack of a true ball carrying tight 5 player hurt the team, as they didn't have much of a 'punch' when play had slowed and the English defense had set, and they needed someone to take it up the guts to draw some players in, and possibly creating space elsewhere and overlaps out wide. Cuth...

Morgan, do you actually have Welsh roots? Else how could you forsake us here? :shock: Hello Botha Boy, how are you! I was just looking at my 2017 Women's rugby world cup photos the other day. Hope you're well and the club seems to be doing great. I still owe you a pint, hopefully I can get over the...

Looking forward to when the Fijians and Kiwis are back in the comp.

I thought I read a headline or two about a re-organization of the World Sevens, something about shrinking the number of teams competing, and/or making it more regional? Can anyone shed any light?

Morgan14

Anyone going over for it?

How did Britain become better than Canada in curling? Are there a bunch of curling sheets in the UK? Britain in curling = Scotland, ancestral home of the sport. Curling also seems to produce pretty random results. I guess NBC are going to pay no attention to men's hockey with the NHL not there. Ano...

This will likely get ugly scoreline-wise, imho. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of the two tight 5s (at least for me), and the Irish team has more depth and is more settled, and should be confident in their individual form given how the provinces have gone. The Welsh centre pairing ...

One thing that interests me in the aftermath of this event is the concurrence between the recent releases from public health officials saying 'we will have to live with covid', which implies that health measures such as lockdowns will be rolled back in the not too distant future; a message this prot...

Thanks for posting that, I hadn't seen it. I'm glad that we will see the report (or at least, it appears it will be made public), and can judge for ourselves.

I quite like the format as is. I'd like the 6N to formalize some sort of process and criteria whereby up-and-comers can join (e.g. Georgia), but I don't personally have a great idea for that to happen, whether it might involve promotion / relegation, reliance on World Rugby rankings, etc. Having SA ...

Just my personal opinion / likes, but GB's Abbie Brown and Jasmine Joyce, not least because of the way they play rugby https://i.eurosport.com/2021/07/30/3187692-65309108-2560-1440.jpg https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/portrait-of-abigail-brown-a-member-of-the-great-britain-olympic-rugby-picture-...
