Interesting to see that Jesse Kriel made the Planet Rugby team of the week. Just shows how subjective these things are!!

The gone forever talk is because of all his concussions and it might be unwise to get thumped again.

But he will get thumped in France?!

I actually joined this forum to talk about Rugby!!! I think I should leave you guys to it and stick to rugby and other more lighthearted topics!! Politics is too divisive for online chat on a rugby forum.

Reading this forum I've been very surprised and disappointed about the conduct of some remainers. One thing I've learned about progressives and "liberals" who espouse tolerance is that "tolerance" to them means the tolerance to say and think the exact same things as them. Anybody who disagrees with ...

Anti-immigration views are most prevalent amongst the elderly and less well educated. The "direction of travel" within the country is for more people to be educated to a higher level, and it really needs to be for the economy's sake if the UK wants to increase productivity. I do wonder where that s...

So, Labour actually have a position on Brexit and thankfully it's not batshit crazy. Lets hope unlike the Government they can actually stick to it for a few days without backstabbing each other. Obviously it makes little difference as they aren't on our "negotiating" team. Labour is to announce a d...

I thought South Africa were good, it was a niggly game and they left a lot of points on the field, but they still kept the score board ticking over. For me the only player who absolutely needs to be replaced is Rhule, I'd replace him with Combrinck. That's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. I'd ...

Wait till the new NH rugby season kicks off and the rugby political proxy war starts. The sensible South Africans have an oar in now so what could possibly go wrong? :D Sorry wrong thread. Is there a non-EU UK EU thread yet? :? Can't wait for new season, will give me something else to talk about!! ...

Not quite true about the small towns though. I live in an area mostly comprised of small towns. Indeed, the largest town in our county has a population of 12,000. According to the last census, we have 99.2% White ethnicity and there are very few eastern Europeans living down there (I only know of 2...

It's actually not a bad rant. What I miss is how small towns will be better off without EU development funds and farming grants? Do you honestly think that the Tories who are currently dismantling your NHS are going to suddenly start looking after small towns they have neglected for years? Probably...

Don't know who Dozy is. I actually joined the site to mainly talk about Rugby!!! Just annoys me how remain voters look down upon and sneer at us brexit voters!! Basically saying that 52% of the people that voted are thick. No wonder Remain lost with that attitude. The reality is that everyone voted ...

I'm amazed how dangerous the USA is, it's comparable with South Africa, which if you believe what you read is very unsafe. Either the USA is more unsafe than I realised, or South Africa is safer. I would guess it's the latter. My uncle lives in Cape Town and says it's a pretty safe place to live pr...

I always preferred Advanced Heroquest and Warhammer Quest. I do have Warhammer and 40K as well. Not sure if I like age of Sigmar.

Am looking forward to this as will be interesting to see how far South Africa have progressed, although they have had 4 wins on the trot, they have all been at home. I think they will win by about 12.

They were fleeing from Europe and Uk was the nearest safe country, todays "asylum seekers" come from Calais or through Europe and are in reality they are economic migrants. France may be a socialist EU hellhole, but there is no reason why asylum can't be sought there. They come to the UK for economi...

Call a second referendum and stop embarrassing yourselves. I quite genuinely think a second referendum would lead to a slightly larger leave majority than the previous one. ??

I personally don't have a problem with EFTA but I imagine many brexiters may do. But a compromise will have to be reached.

I would also make it a requirement that in order to move to the UK you have to be of good character. I believe this is a sticking point in negotiations. Well any arrangements would have to be reciprocal, so that would rule out loads of Brits retiring to Spain, wouldn't it...? Yes they would be reci...

EFTA court is not the ECJ Court, there will be Freedom of Labour, not Freedom of Movement (e.g. we can say that you have to have an offer of employment to move to the UK), we will also be free to make our own trade deals.
