I yelled abuse at some UAP guys on the weekend walking around my neighbourhood. Not gonna lie, felt really good to do it. I try and be polite to all the volunteers, I think it's great that they give up their time for political purposes, even if they are misguided anti-vaxxers. I got caught up in th...

I've got some time in Japan later this year, near Fukuoka, what's some stuff that is good to do around that area?

I like whisky if there are any around there.

Can't pre-latch before a tackle is made now. You can, as long as it's a 1 person latch and the latcher doesn't kill the ball by flopping on top of the ball carrier/ Am I right in saying that as long as the ball-carrier remains on his feet, he can move forward under a combination of his own leg driv...

Would it have been different had Marler's teammate bound onto Marler and driven him forward? I would argue that it would have been different as he would not have caused an acceleration in the speed at which Marler came into contact with the tackler, thus no penalty against anyone in Marler's team. ...

I get where he is coming from, the speed into the tackler from Marler was all from the push and the tackler didn't have time to adjust. I think this is one of the things WR has said that should be taken into consideration as I think there was one in the Pro14 as well.

They manage to hold the NRL Magic Round in Brisbane every year, with 8 games played at the same stadium across the same weekend. You sure the pitch would hold up to 6 games of big scrums on top of it in 3 days? I'm not sure at all. Unlike Dan54 I'm not pretending to be an expert on the grass struct...

Really, I don’t think so, do you think the pitch would Stand up to 7 games? No you right, Suncorp wouldn't work. nowhere for players to even do warm ups etc while first game being played etc. They manage to hold the NRL Magic Round in Brisbane every year, with 8 games played at the same stadium acr...

Have I got this wrong or should the Tarts only have 14 players on the park as it's their fault the scrums are uncontested Both hookers went off for HIAs and failed, so therefore they don't need to drop a player. If it were any other injury then they would have to, but for head injuries it's differe...

The TMO is clearly spooked by Enzedder But very hard to compete without the full complement of players
I heard the TMO was quite good looking.
Lovely deep Australian accent for a Pom.

He's clearly lived there for too long.

The ref is awful. "No hands" then tells them they drop it when they turned it over, fairly. I know her personally and suspect it’s a bit too soon for her at this level. WR love to promote former top tier players. A better Canadian would be the woman who’s been doing NZ provincial for years. She and...

Do Aussie commentators always moan about refereeing decisions or the Laws so much? Just saw the yellow for the knock on, and that's a nailed-on card all day. It is, but it shouldn't be.

Right lads, how the actual feck do you marry the opposing concepts of increasing cardio intensity/duration (depending on the day) and not eating like a horse? I'm going from a steady 5 hours a week (maybe an hour of which is intense) to 8+ hours (2 hours of which will be more intense). 75% road bik...

On the one hand, making fun of someone's wife's alopecia seems a bit grim...on the other, he is a comedian and he's paid to make jokes.

Well day 2 of dealing with covid. Missus and I both have it. None of the kids yet. We are trying everything to avoid passing it on to them.

Using Murali's "action" (legal or otherwise) would be absolutely no use for bowling big ripping leggies. Completely different wrist, finger and arm position. Ohh look Daniel Vettori is here!

Always wanted to be able to spin the ball like Warne, but alas I was neither talented enough or driven enough.

The TMO in last nights Rebels Force game was entirely useless and is well worth arguing with.
I have it on good authority he is an absolute plum.

tbf, he says the same about you.
Probably
