So what would you like to see? No testing... just a free for all?
Yes.

You're going to see a lot of people dying young.

Better testing is the answer, no corners cut. Heavier sanctions. It has to not be worth the risk of getting caught.

Can't blame him a bit. He has had a tough year. A lot of Farrell's problems are down to himself though. Though weirdly I see the media defending him, ever since he was a teenager he was hyped or defended by the media for the most part. Not sure why but the criticisms of him are all usually valid, h...

"You didn’t listen enough to get your own Wrapped this year, but you can find out what everyone else listened to most in this playlist"

1. Flowers - Miley Cyrus
2. Kill Bill - SOS
3. As it Was - Harry Styles
4. Seven - Golden
5. Ella Baila Sola - Desvelado

Gave them a listen...not for me

I suppose if you're 32 intent on going for another Lions tour and World Cup, now wouldn't be the worst time to take a break from test rugby.

Rugby2023

I can't imagine Farrell is the type to bother with social media, there must be something else going on.

Rugby2023

This makes no sense, if it's so bad why only a break, why not retire?

To be clear, I'm a Farrell supporter, but this is

I truly do not get why roids are not allowed. I feel like a lone athiest in the middle of a crowd of religious loons. Quite apart from the physical dangers on the field, look how many pro wrestlers die at a young age. It has a massive influence on performance, so it'll become a question who gets th...

I may be wrong, but I think Steyn did most of his from full-back.

Wasn't it two late Frans Steyn drop-goals that defeated Australia?

It's real in America, no? You see people walking out with discount TVs on US footage.

I just think British stores can't bring themselves to discount anything significant before Christmas but they're happy to lie about doing so.

Prefer ITVs coverage anyway, Beeb a bit stodge.

Watching Rugby on Amazon Prime feels a bit soulless for some reason

Rugby2023

At least part of the reason is that the party keeps tearing itself apart. If you think another round of that will improve their image, I suspect you are dreaming. At this point, electorally they really have nothing to lose by trying something, and someone different. Put Labour Party members in char...

Rugby2023

Sounds like Cloud Cuckoo land to me. The Tory party will be damaged but it'll survive. The polls will narrow, somewhat, once a GE is actually being fought - having more infighting in the run up, would only lead to further damage. I feel you're underestimating the trouble they're in. They lost the b...

Is there really any point in giving yet another candidate a hospital pass. And it'd just be more evidence of the party tearing itself apart. Well there's not going to be a Party if Sunak continues, do you know anyone planning on voting for him? An alternative candidate with fresh direction would po...

Who leads instead ? d cam ? Lee Anderson, man of the people :) Patel maybe, not sure but they may as well roll the dice because Sunak is only taking them one way, down.

Christ he’s not a Thatcherite . Thatcher was firm in her ideology as well.

I wish him the best, but given his talk of reducing (or eliminating) state bureaucracy there will surely be many doing their utmost to ensure he fails.

Charles seems to have a habit of making a single crucial mistake. The point's moot this season and probably next - the only way Max loses is through a DNF. Next too? Aren't they going to switch up the regs, no? What was it for Merc? 8 years? Buckle on in I actually don't watch it any more, it's not...

Luckily I don’t understand these new social media apps these days - instagram; Tiktok etc. I got onto them for the first time this year but I find them difficult to navigate and don’t really understand what I’m supposed to do on Tiktok. So I’m hardly on them and I might even delete Tiktok soon as I...

In some ways I am jealous of the simple life my parents generation had (I am 36, parents early 60's). No internet, no cellphones, 3 TV channels, very few technological distractions in general. I was lucky enough that these things did not become prominent until I was in my teens. Don't you remember ...

Dead man walking, just call the election now. I called it years ago. he has no political ideology that does anything. Just another Thatcherite with no ideas or even a clue.

No we are all celebrating Barnes removal and fresh blood in his place.

Seriously, Polly Barnes says good riddance to rugby when that is the very industry which has kept her living the high life in London. F u ck off. The rugby world says good riddance to her and her husband, the crooked ref. I'm not sure she did, did she? Iirc she said she wouldn't miss the Rugby Worl...

One thing that shines through from Barnes book is as that fans we take it all so seriously, it's almost life and death to us, a mini-war almost. Thus we get wound up by perceived injustices from 20 years ago, whereas the refs have greater perspective, and possess the detachment to recognise it reall...

If Borthwick intends on continuing with a kick-chase rugby gameplan, he could do worse than keeping Daly around given his ability to kick the ball long distances and chase/challenge in the air. Versatility a bonus.

Was it Wayne Barnes or the then IRB who inexplicitly had a complete rookie with like five tests under his belt to do a WC knockout match.

The English club I haven't played for in almost a decade was touting tickets to those warm-up matches across our old boys Whatsapp groups.

I used to be a regular watcher of ice hockey but haven’t been at all for about 6 or 7 years. What I find interesting is that I’ve not seen any suggestion from UK fans that it was a deliberate act by Petgrave. Added to that, the description of the incident initially suggested that there was a collis...

Yes, jokes aside. If SA and NZ can not host the RWC anymore, and maybe one last hurrah for Australia too, does this mean the future of the RWC is just in Europe, with occasional attempts by the European paymasters to 'grow' the RWC in the US, Japan and maybe the Mid-East? That, the 'Nations' comp a...
