SR -> HC -> T14 -> AP -> ITMC -> CC -> P12 -> TL -> CNE -> CA-> SL -> PRL -> DDH -> CPDR -> NSC

You get points if you can work out all the acronyms. I've excluded 2nd division leagues.

But this sort of thing happens regularly, just on a smaller scale, and it doesnt necessarily make the papers. Precisely. Hundreds of thousands of jobs are continuously being created and destroyed as businesses move in and out of the market in response to economic signals such as competitiveness. It...

Um what? That can't be right - do you mean per term or per year maybe?

Or they pick the core of the team from the qualifying squad and a couple of the best players from the other two. Not that hard. I'd expect it would shake out that way anyway.

The question will be which Unions tap their XV's stars to play in the Olympics.

Zakar

My understanding is that they will need to elect a "lead team" (England) to qualify GB.

Once they are qualified, they can pick whatever team they like.

Zakar

So if the top four is - SA, NZ, UK, ARG - not beyond the realm of possibilities.

Then one of Fiji/Samoa/Australia will miss out, and Uruguay will be in.

Yikes.

Also do Japan even play 7s? I thought It would be Hong Kong under the guise of China.

Wouldn't that mean Tonga makes it? They can't be that dire, and can pick from their pro players that wouldn't normally play 7s

I thought that Netherlands had a gun women's team?

Thanks for the hitout Fava. I'm assuming you rested a lot of players? Yikes. Bloody Australia day, I was thinking that game was tonight :blush: I didnt rest anyone, but I had lost 3 players due to injury during my finals campaign, and I had LTNTed both my finals games - my blokes were at 60% energy...

The tow back letter stated it was turned back for "safety reasons", we really only have their safety as our concern. Well, that just isnt true. We have the option to pick up any boats that are in danger of sinking with our navy. Turning them around is not a safety concern. Well, here's the rub, the...

If you hadn't watched them as kids when Blake's 7 was the standard for sci-fi you wouldn't think they were so good now. It's not a popular opinion, but it's true. The status the Star Wars films are held in is very much due to (a) the era they were released in and (b) the age of the audience. That's...

Farva, looks like we'll play each other in the play-off. :D And now that I am active, I'll LTNT you. :twisted: I see that.

Kalgoorlie, Geraldton, Karratha, Broome and Albany are all, of course, part of the greater metro Perth area. map As is Mt Gambier, Port Pirie, Port Lincoln and Whyalla. Even in Victoria, Bendigo and Ballarat are over 100km from Melbourne. Then there is Wodonga, Shepparton, Mildura, etc. There are p...

The only thing I can think he was going on about was geography. The major regional centres in NSW are Wollongong and Newcastle. But both are so close to Sydney as to be very much within its gravitational pull. You could require people to live in either city, but in practice it might be difficult to...

Be wary of weighing yourself. If you're exercising doing LCHF, you will put muscle on. Disagree. Putting on lean muscle takes a long time. I may not have great genes, but I reckon I'd struggle to put on more than 1kg a month of lean muscle if I trained and ate very well. Losing/gaining fat is much ...

I really enjoyed Anchorman 2. Not as good as a first, but one of the better comedies of the year. My only criticism would be the length and the family scene. I had to hide behind my popcorn. How did that not end up on the cutting room floor?
