Re: U20 6 Nations 2024
Probably a fair(ish) result in the end. But I would comment that it is easier to put kilos on the young Irish lads, than teach the young English skills and nous. Kilos won't help them scrummage. My point still stands. We get just one decent prop a year, is all we need. England are sending out u/a t...

Yes. You do realise that design work on the alignment for Metrolink commenced in 2017, and the surveys would have been a relatively early process tying in with the 2018/2019 geotechnical investigations; and the buildings surveyed were the buildings in situ at the time.

Metrolink made its application for a RO in September 2022. The alignment work would have been done several years before this, when the now demolished buildings were still in-situ. The top of the metrolink tunnel is 15 m below gl, that is probably 8-9m below foundation level of any double basement. T...

There's definitely an element of Lansdowne big game fatigue as well.
