'Power of Love?? hahahahahah. Just pictured the BIL singing that at the house of pain. lol

Baabaa's went to pieces after losing it at the ref. Yeah the ref was a homer but virtually the whole baabaa side lost their discipline. Did anyone else hear the ref say - 'if you speak to me like that again I'll send you off? to a baabaa forward? The whole side clearly felt hard done by - with reaso...

If the IRB fcuk up and select French refs for the Tests, Lions are doooomed The young French ref did well for Ireland in Chicago. But you're right. The reffing will be so important. SH refs favour SH sides - for all sorts of reasons. If the Lions get an even break we'll win the first or second Test...

Not a lot of rugby on show there! Lots of bosh and attrition up front but nothing in the backs in either team. Ireland just feckin clueless in attack. To finally lose to a Roberts try is just embarrassing for the tattiemunchers. To put it into perspective both these teams lost to us Scots despite h...

Too close to call. So many match-ups and Lions rivals here throughout both sides, backs and packs - never mind the Championship and rivalry and England's winning streak. If Wales are 2 scores ahead after 60 they stand chance (England's vastly superior bench and power in the last 20 is often telling)...

As for tour captain, no bloody idea. Nailed on test starter with experience at captain who's not gonna upset anyone and leads from the front? J Gray?
It will be one of Warburton, AWJ, Best or Hartley

Spot on.

I thought Warburton had is best game Internationally since the 2nd TEst v Aus as the Lions skipper. Some of his lineout work was astonishing, one great turn-over and very prominent around the park. If he shows up well on Saturday he may still be skipper - certainty for the tour at any rate. To my mi...

Obviously has to be France, without a doubt. How is this even... guys, think about it for a just a second, you'll see here. England rough start, but France were a handful on the day, bar a couple of chances it's not like they were going to do much, much better and they're GLAD to get away with the ...

Other than the glorious '70's and Wembley and 30-3 England have dominated Wales for the last 35 years. If England don't win this against an average Welsh side, they will have choked - and Jones will have a point. But I doubt it. And the RWC 2 years ago, when half the Welsh team was stretchered off....

Not far off as I'd mark them - except Webb. His distribution was shocking. Ankle length, slow passes often bouncing before the receiver. And he's got to curb his mouth. 3. If a 9 can't pass he ain't a 9. Got to shape up - I know he's missed c18 months in reality, but Eng will target him. I'd pick h...

These Presidential pardons always backfire - they don't look good on the Prez or the recipient. I think justice should run its course. Clinton will be investigated re the Clinton 'Foundation' (pay to play the yanks call it). The email saga stinks too - destroying (with hammers apparently) umpteen mo...

By some distance the worst QT was the post 9/11 one where they stacked the audience with a coach load of anti-American fruit cakes who spent the whole evening applauding every utterance that largely consisted of 'they deserved it'. This x 1000. That was absolute disgrace and I think was actually tr...

Well, watched it and a few points Southend can go feck itself. Sarah obviously lost her cool but actually felt passionate about what she was saying and was the only non politician round the table. The other American woman was pure evil. The SNP woman can't sustain a coherent argument. The raab blok...

Obama's greatest achievement in office was his fundamental decency. He set an example of calm, relative moderation, reason and dignity under extraordinary social and geopolitical change which shouldn't be downplayed. He didn't achieve as much as he promised in concrete terms, but he will go down as...

Bought his latest (and now probably last ) cd from Amazon yesterday as a Christmas present for the 'ol man.

Really sad news - and after his Sunday Times interview 4 weeks ago when he said he'll live for ever. I think he will in one way or another. Hallelujah.

He achieved in making our special relationship just a relationship. His disdain of the UK was prominent throughout his presidency. Very true - but it went further than that - he was a cocky little community organiser who when becoming POTUS realised that 'Yes we can' was just a campaigning slogan t...

Between her and Anne Coulter for the WH Press gig I'd think. Coulter is very sharp, bright and right-wing. Wasted as press spokesman. Conway. Head of White House staff??

A weak side. You need ball carriers against the Pumas - Moriarty is the only one of a bean-pole, small-looking pack and he's a 6 really. Jamie deserves to be dropped but again, against the Puma's you need strength to get over the gain line in the middle of the park. 'penny, North, Williams and our f...

His biggest achievement is TRUMP.

Every side should decide how they react to the Haka themselves. AB's choose which ever Haka they like - opposition can decide how to deal with it. The Lions may have some surprises - who knows/who cares?? I care more about which ref will be chosen and just get on with the game. This isn't Saturday N...

Federal or state prison for the Clintons??

Wales must win 2 out of 3 from their next games. Japan and Pumas or SA. If they don't and have another poor 6 nations it could be Wales/NZ/Scotland in the next WC group (or similar). They MUST win Saturday. Every game matters now for WC draw. That's how Pumas will see Saturday. We must front up and ...

Magic

Yeah some fans think its enough to beat England - but the players don't. Wales should've beaten OZ on many recent occasions - the 3-0 could've been 3-0 the other way around if not because of some bizarre/biased reffing from Joubert - especially at the end of games. He reffed Saturday and didn't give...

Anyone watch this last Monday or on C4 catch-up? One of the unintentionally funniest 30 minutes of TV I've ever seen. 1) There was no art - or at least all 4 entries were shite, weren't art, or totally inexplicable.

The state of Saudi Arabia is most definitely not a sponsor of Daesh And the Yemen 'insurgents' are Al Quaeda Don't worry, the Kingdom and the US are both still 'on message'.

Maybe. But in this timeframe, they're both focussed on self- interest, which means KSA will play the US game, outwardly. They can occasionally fight each other - this is what radical moslems do best (thankfully), fight each other. But their advantage over "us" is that they have long-term geopolitic...
