Re: Your Pre-Match Rituals
I'd always strap up my wrists pretty heavily and used electrical tape to hold my socks up. Always used to ensure my shirt was tucked in to my shorts too until they started making them too small to tuck in. Want to look respectable out there. Guys running out with their shirts untucked and socks down...

Strange Rugby League article r.e concussion
Scars remind Rooster he can withstand another head knock Almost with a sense of pride, Luke Keary points to two fresh scars above each eyebrow that remind him how he has survived his share of head knocks since he returned from a sickening concussion suffered in round 11. https://www.smh.com.au/spor...

Without them, England has become a legitimately likeable team. T...

A foam helmet does offer protection from concussion, but it's arguable that one the thickness of a rugby scrum-cap would make any difference at all, and even if it did, recent studies suggest it would still more dangerous to wear one. At least this is the reasoning behind the recent removal of head-...

Re: Ashes 2019
... let's be honest here. Steve Smith won The Ashes.
Despite Australia having very talented players in other positions, notably, but not restricted to, Cummins and Lyon, I'm moderately confident we still would have won without them, and all but certain we would have lost without Smith.

Fair enough then. Minus the reduced risk of sun damage, I still think speedos are by far the most comfortable, obvious, hygienic and practical bit of gear for swimming. I also think it looks weirder and more daggy to swim half-clothed than it does in speedos. But point taken on the sun protection as...
