Sunlight degrades whisky, you know nothing fool. Also, a bottle in a box is insulated from extreme evaporation. Both are concerns when you drink good stuff. I'd expect anybody who ever proclaimed to be in a FLS to know these things. Should have been called the 'NMS' for "New Money Society', you f u ...

How many million do we think POM will get in his new deal?

Woke up this morning to read "PSG-Istanbul game postponed due to racism" and immediately thought "What did those Turks say now?"

Did anybody predict it would be racist refs?

Anybody who wonders how this can happen should watch the Florian Fritz concussion and subsequent going back on for Toulouse in 2014. Clearly the sport and clubs didn't have the best interests of the players at the core of their mission, and reasonable steps were not taken to minimise the risks. Cont...

Yeah, it's an absolute joke. I refused to buy from anything being advertised at me if I can help it.

Usually that means my ads are full of stuff I've already bought, but whatever.

The upsetting part of that was there was apparently no clue in how they were going to go about breaking down Georgia. Looked to be a terribly poorly coached side, all things considered. I had no faith in Farrell before he took the role, and I have less now. Unfortunately he's the one unmoving part g...

That's a decent shift
Did you get many tips?

Don't work in that industry any more, thankfully. That was a full day of pinting watching cricket.

Imagine hating Bealham so much you’d start him at loosehead against Georgia.

Do others see something in Nick Tompkins that I don't?

Is there seriously no mention of Pokemon in this thread? Surely there are lots of lads my age who spend the back half of the 90s playing Pokemon Red for every waking minute?

Only two teams in Test rugby are currently at the peak of their squads ability - SA and England, and of those two only England are currently brave enough to play, but have no desire to provide entertainment. Everybody else is at some stage of falling down and getting back up, which means you get ga...

Wales have never won a HEC, though, and really never threatened to. The league wouldn’t have got off the ground without the Cup runs by Munster and Ulster. There wouldn’t have been any enticement for the Welsh to get involved with us, if not for the crowds at the HEC games. Their inability to pull ...

I just don't really buy the parochial thing either. Nobody is more parochial than us. Yes the door of provincial loyalty was a bit more ajar but Leinster in particular and Connacht have worked hard to turn themselves from Dublin and Galway City sides to genuine provincial sides. The Taffs arent ars...

I just can’t see how the South Africans are at all the solution. I’d rather go back to 10 teams and only play when Test rugby isn’t. It’s effectively an academy tool for most or our season, so no wonder the lustre has gone off it.

Their teams are crap not disinterested

One hand washes the other. They are crap and disinterested.

SFBB

I don’t think there is a proper solution to the Pro14 issue. Absolutely pushing shit uphill to get the Italians up to standard, while the Welsh seem totally disinterested. Scots will come good on their own, eventually. They are cyclical. I can’t see any value in including Saffer clubs at all. Maybe ...

He likes the wrong crisps, which is understandable if you were raised with them like the Nordies, but it's just too much when you're a transplanted Dub.

I'd prefer the more agile player on the flank, lending assistance to the blindside defence. Coombes with the first carry off the base

SFBB

Would be daft to drop Doris. He was far from the problem, and probably showed the most energy of the backrowers. He's just unsuitable to be at 8 against a pack like Englands without some mongos around him. So many times he fronted up for a carry, running a good line at pace, and was met with a white...

SFBB

Thats hardly a bad Argie side. The back 3 are excellent, as is De La Fuente at 12.

The only guys I'm not immediately familiar with are Mallia, Medrano, and Paulos.

SFBB

Is Coombes any bigger and more powerful than CJ? CJ would tear it up at Pro14 level in this Munster team against depleted opposition sides. Coombes looks the business but he has yet to move up a level (HC and international level) and prove himself. Hasn’t been easy for Doris so far.. granted he’s s...

The other thing is that the ruck change across the bored seem to have made it very hard to retain possession after a line break. Definitive difference between how they are reffing in NZ/Oz and how the NH refs are interpreting it. A lot of those England turnovers would have been penalties the other ...

We had no alternative to creating scores other than hoping England eventually missed tackles. We got decent field position a couple of times, but they were sitting ducks to the English defence. England clearly had a crossfield plan for certain situations, which really isn't too hard to implement. Us...

The mad stat for me is that in 7 games we've only attempted 5 penalties. Thats one of the soft positives. They've clearly tried to create more, although the plan on how they create is missing. I'd have been telling my team to keep going for drop goals whenever you got within 40m of Englands goals, ...

Boo! :thumbdown: Is a Galaxy note 10.1 any use for internet/streaming? They're going fairly cheap, but the specs are inferior to my phone, which itself is over 3 years old, so I'm a bit cautious.

Combine this with the club map and you can see the problem for Wales. Nowhere to go in terms of population.

Keenan can make errors and never threaten to win a game. At least Stockdale concerns the defence of our opponents. Keenan is a tidy footballer, but there will be 15 lads coming through schools in the next 2 years who could reach his level with appropriate coaching and development. It could be 5-10 y...

England are very ordinary, and are coaching into a corner. Unfortunately there aren’t many teams like that Saffer side that can expose them for their limitations.

You don't absolutely need size to boss collisions, but size makes is much much easier. Size and power are two cheeks of the same arse.

Doris is a bit soft isn't he? He just isn’t very big for the level. Coombes will be the man shortly. Doris can play 6 and do his work from there. I mean, SOB wasn't very big for international level.

Farrell was such an obviously wrong choice when it was made. I’d be disappointed if the consensus here wasn’t disgust at the time of announcement Slow and steady wins the race. If we go sideways forever other teams might just disintegrate in front of us, like Wales have. It’s not the strategy I’d e...
