Just saw the England-Ireland score. Jesus what happened there? I thought Ireland were on the improve? I recommend watching it in the BBC iPlayer Auck. Possibly the best performance by a women’s rugby team I’ve personally (doesn’t mean it’s fact) watched. Mitchell has got us in a completely differen...

Perhaps if the irfu put some money into the women's game rather than just bank-rolling leinster then they wouldn't get utterly humiliated. Could see a hundred here. Shame that the irfu are still stuck in the last century. This! The difference is down to support the Unions give and have given. The c...

just making the international team professional was never going to be the only answer for the celtic teams in closing the gap. its not just about training fulltime.At the moment the celtic teams simply dont have enough top class players to pick and choose from.They need to increase the player pool,...

Was the forensic tent not in their joint house? If they’re apart I’m not sure what she’s getting from a 100k camper van for his mam? They are officially together. The rumours of them being apart only based on the "nudge nudge, wink wink" Sturgeon surely is into women rumours which appear to have ne...

Very interesting backlines for both Wales and France. Will be fun seeing how that plays out, even if I'm still worried for Wales, whose confidence must be in the gutter. The Principality is looming large right now... Can't wait for Italy v Scotland. That has 'Banger' written all over it. 45k+ at Tw...

88-10 Just back from the game. England ladies came fully strapped on today and went in hard. I'm enjoying seeing Mitchell really improve and make use of England's backline and their attacking play today was mostly super. You can see England knew exactly where to go at each ruck and they have clear ...

The 6 nations is a good competition without England. The other teams gain nothing playing England and England gain nothing from this either. End this tournament it's serves no purpose at all.

That's kind of how these things work though. Working hand in glove together for years so you don't check everything if you know what I mean. From teh little I've seen it seems unlikely plus she hasn't kicked him to the curb. She was the final authority in the accounts. She must have noticed the fre...

Surely SNP and Scottish Independence are toast for at least a generation? Been toast for years. The Scottish people have consistently stated in every poll they don't want another referendum regardless of where they personally stand and independence sways slightly but has been broadly the same level...

Surely it’s time to pull the plug on this farce It’s a professional team playing students and barmaids Someone is going to get badly hurt How many grand slams in a row can England do?

I know nothing about the case but people have kept multi year affairs, their sexuality and all sorts of financial impropriety hidden from their partners for years. Its a bit damning if she hasn't kicked him to the curb though. Agreed about how marriages can keep things hidden. Though in this case, ...

Ban it and implement the death penalty for any smoke dealers. I will allow for camps where smokers can live outside of urban areas where they will do public works and be allocated smoking time. :twisted: But to be serious, I find smokers and vapers as a group to be the most selfish people on the pl...

Some delightful shilling on behalf of Russia. One could just as easily contend, and perhaps more accurately, a Ukraine that was also attuned to the West was more valuable to the West for how that would deepen the connection to Russia. And no matter how much Ukraine looked increasingly to the West t...

It is. I guess it shows that politics is often like supporting a football team and people can't change. Goerge Bush courted the Christian evangelical crowd, and Trump inherited them. I often see the extreme ends of political sides have many contradictory groups in them. +1 I'd agree but extend the ...

Zelenskyy was interviewed last night on the PBS Newshour by Amna Nawaz, in Kyiv . The piece was perhaps 10 minutes long. He was pissed. Upset that he had been verbally promised things in person and in calls with Mike Johnson that have yet to materialize. He even resorted to using English to get his...

It is no coincidence that the 2 countries that are seriously looking at a calendar year limit on sales are the NZ and UK. Both countries with a NHS. Suspect that this idea will play out like every other smoking regulation as becoming more appreciated over time. Pity the NZ dropped the proposal befo...

The UK already has one of the lowest smoking rates in the developed world, under 15% of people smoke, down from around 35% in 2000. That's considerably below the 20-40% range across most of the EU. The anti-smoking legislation passed during that time clearly had some effect. I would've preferred ha...

My wife is dieing in front of my eyes. She has smoked for almost 50 years now and just cannot give up. She doesn't try any more and won't even let her doctor discuss it.

I am not a smoker but I wonder if such a ban will only strengthen mafia and other criminal groups in pushing these sales to the black market - similar to what Prohibition did with alcohol. U.K. plan to phase out smoking for good passes first hurdle The British government's plan for a landmark smoki...

Expecting the Ukraine aid bill to be dead on arrival on the floor later this week. Much like the Israel bill looking to include IRS cuts. Anybody want to make any guesses how this plays out?

People (well, mostly Arsenal fans) have lost their minds over this. There’s still only 2 points covering the top 3. You’d think they lost 10 points yesterday the way they’ve seemingly given up. If you believe it’s over, explain how? It's not the points, but the relentless charge City does at the en...

Her refereeing may have been a distance off the standards of Davison or Cox but there's no such thing as infallibility in any referee.
