Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Strawberries taste much nicer at room temperature than straight out of a fridge... same with tomatoes.
There is going to be a need for mass movements of agricultural labour over the few months in Europe or the effects will be disastrous.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
There is a much bigger picture than just strawberries. Letting food rot in fields across Europe will lead to a rise in food prices, changing the entitlements and wellbeing of everyone around the globe. But people want to get back to their own lives... so fudge the rest of the world.

Robbie Kempson was Ulster's best signing at prop. Beast of a player, shame he didn't stay longer. Did more for Ulster than Afoa or Botha. Matt Sexton doesn't get much love either, but he was a great hooker as well.
