Re: War in Ukraine...

Interesting development from Canada, will only probably take about 5 years for them to actually 'ramp up' production.

Re: War in Ukraine...

Have to be honest here, considering all the scams that originate from their country, it is hard to feel sorry for them.

It is a test by WR to see just how diehard their fans are. If we can navigate through all that then they are true rugby fans.

Re: 2024 MLR Season.

Will be interesting to see how MLR did at the gate this weekend.

NOLA seemed to have a good crowd, for them. Miami looked good too and so did Carolina.

I actually watched the first two episodes last night.

They seemed to get through the early part of the book very quickly. So far Mariko is not a 'ninja princess' so that is good.
