Those top players with superhuman gifted natural ability often seem to struggle to explain their approach to players with more human-like abilities. I suspect they don't know what to do when players can't do certain skills that is innate to great players. Trying to explain to others what comes natu...

Jesus. How bad is it up north?

Sure a Leinster player who has played for other pro-outfits would have likely come from down south?

Martin Johnson's problem is he went straight to the top. He still won a 6 Nations though.

As for others

Richard Cockerall has been pretty successful

Some do and some don't. An impressive playing history is a very poor predictor of coaching ability (either way). I agree. Though most great players won't become good coaches. It seems to be the same in most sports. I suspect what is instinctive to some is difficult to covey in words or understand w...

To be fair, the gendarmes seem to be quite tooled up, as do the soldiers milling about with automatic rifles. I don't support violence, but I suppose if you become completely convinced that the politicians won't ever improve your desperate situation then you might be willing to fight for it. Even h...

I suppose the subject matter is a little off, though.

It's actually quite observant with it's humour. It illustrates the stupidness and tragic nature of the whole Islamic terrorism thing for Islamic Brits.

I've not seen a good film of his, but in 'Eastbound and Down' he was genius! That series was brilliant!

Macron has now deployed armed vehicles in Paris and has told the police eto directly engage the police protesters. BBC have just showed the police using tear gas and batons on the protesters. It is going to be a long day in Paris, a violent an dlong day. Macron is toast after this. We'll see. He st...

Fairly sure it's racist. You wouldn't direct it at white, English speakers would you? The fact Mexicans are multi racial might make it something to weasel out of, but it's meant to conjure images of stereotypical Mexican peasantry.

Paddy came to represent that all Irish were lazy, stupid and shifty when only some of us are.

Well done the women! God that was a dire game (and I'm a supporter of women's rugby) I scrolled through the match on youtube to see the score, and it did seem boring by the result.

Maybe they'll be trying to change the format a tiny bit? Question Time has been dead for years now. Not Dimblebee's fault but due to the fact every politician is clearly well briefed before going on and the audience seem to be partisan campaigners rather than normal citizens.
