The Drua have been playing well all year.

Gwenno

Well played Fiji! We won’t be over confident going into that match!

Gwenno

The All Blacks even threw an intercept

Gwenno

A long touch finder, or a 50-22 comes from ‘the educated boot’ of x. Any scrum penalty that the commentators don’t understand is attributed to ‘the dark arts of the front row’ ‘You’re not going to stop a player like x when he gets the ball y metres from the line’ ‘He saved an inevitable try’ - it ca...

My ev battery is guaranteed for 5 years, my wife’s for 7. Why would they do that if they were going to be useless at 2 years? They weren’t btw.

Gwenno

Has anyone mentioned sodium batteries, or silicon anode batteries yet? Or the very cheap evs being made in China?

Gwenno

The batteries are lasting much longer than 5 years, then they can be used as storage batteries then they can be recycled.
And the argument for electricity coming from fossil fuels is so obviously transparent.

Gwenno

I hope that someone will confirm this for me, but don’t hydrogen fuel cells need a couple of fairly scarce metals as a catalyst? Also, isn’t it so that producing hydrogen by electrolysis (as opposed to extracting from fossil fuels for example) is not very efficient, such that it makes more sense to ...

The earliest written records of Ireland come from classical Greco-Roman geographers. Ptolemy in his Almagest refers to Ireland as Mikra Brettania ("Little Britain"), in contrast to the larger island, which he called Megale Brettania ("Great Britain"). So the first written record of Ireland it is ca...

Gwenno

There is so much anti green rhetoric, eg windmills need to work for 14 years to pay back their carbon footprint, when it is really about 5 months. It seems that the arguments run roughly along the lines of: Green energy, electric cars, etc are not nearly as green as they claim to be, therefore we wo...

Who's getting the georgian project ref? Good luck with that one I think he's been much better this year, still not a massive fan. I think that he’s OK - I remember his first game Italy v Ireland. He had to RC the Italian hooker, and when the replacement hooker was injured he had to send a second pl...

Eddie Jones for Oz, and England, and Japan, and Oz etc etc

Gwenno

Players thinking that they can get away with tripping. 3 spring to mind: Martin Williams when we playing Ireland for the TC in 2008. We still managed to win that match amazingly. Alun-Wyn Jones against England. Tipuric against Oz last time we played them, helping turn a ‘winning’ lead into an embarr...

Help from the Irish.

We need an Ap Siôn.

Really does make you wonder what a player has to do to even get the full tariff, let alone additional matches for aggravating factors or deterrent. To get close, you need to be from a a low end 1st or 2nd tier nation. You get a few more weeks for having swarthy skin or not sounding like Little Lord...

According to Wales on line

Gwenno

There is other options. I think a different coach could defeat Gatlands Wales with one or two completely different squads Lest we forget, the dregs have contributed the most players to this squad, the dregs who won 4 games this year. The good thing I guess with so many young players we could have t...

Gwenno

I have just read that banned players can’t be replaced, unlike injured players. Therefore why name your squad before you’ve played all your warm up games? The squad can be changed right up until they land in France for the tournament. Well that makes more sense, so really nobody is committed at all...

FFS give it a rest.

At one time the surname Farrell itself was enough to stir up establishment prejudice.

Gwenno

We're so bad people aren't even putting the boot in. Borthwick and his merry band of rookie coaches have continued Eddie's trajectory nicely to get their contracts paid up. Blame Sweeney at the RFU. We knew they were the wrong people for the job and predictably they're picking the wrong players, wi...

As opposed to only one being similar?

No Zammit?

It was 4 min of actual play. Let's give the English something to cling onto though, hey? (Let's also ignore that the score while England were playing against 14 men with Reffell in the bin was 3-3) And When England scored their try it was 14 v 14 Nope, it was 12 v 15 when we scored It’s a fair cop!

Gwenno

Merde. Poor sod.

Gwenno

Does the fact that he may have put another player out of action for X weeks from failed hia have a bearing?

Gwenno

Any more insight into why the ref gave a penalty advantage to Wales, followed a few seconds later to a penalty to England - a technical offence, not foul play - which ultimately led to Englands’s 3rd penalty? Think I read, maybe on here, that at one point the assistant had called something, which t...

The reason isn't difficult to find ... they were playing against 12 men. for about 3-4 minutes they were It was 4 min of actual play. Let's give the English something to cling onto though, hey?

Bilateral shit show. Which team is in for a bigger bollocking?

I think that cock and a cigar tap tackled LRZ’s thigh and knocked him off balance.

Just arson about?

The answer to her question is ‘kidneys’ - there is no evidence base for the idea that you have to drink over 2 litres a day.

Gwenno

After some very lean times this seemed to sprout some shoots of positivity for me Few good forwards, competed well, looked fit, the lineout was peerless (not mentioned in your comments and worth noting given how usually shit our lineout is) Not sure Costelow is there yet as a potential internationa...

Who is doing the usual TMO work during live play while the TMO is reviewing the yellow-possibly-red card offence? The TMO will need about 6 pairs of eyes. There is 1 TMO appointed to the game, and 1 FPRO (foul play review official) appointed. The FPRO judges the YC and sees if it’s an upgrade or no...

I sympathise. However, whilst obviously aggravating any underlying mental health issues, is there a definitive study on causation? I don’t think so. All I can find is association studies with psychosis and anxiety, more pronounced in adolescents. And of course he might have been destined for his ad...
