Right. There are 5 reports on this thread. Anyone who has called for people to be exterminated is going to get a month. Anyone that starts a justice for thread for those posters can also have a month in solidarity with their idiot friend. Lions tour gone. Hopefully this isnt out of line, but could ...

Sad to see Nick Clegg pretty distraught.

Whatever anyone thinks about him from a party point of view, him forming that coilition basically saved the country and the economy.

Wish him well.

Think Conservatives are heading for LESS seats than predicted by the exit polls.

Could be heading towards some kind of constitutional crisis.

This is going to be a f**king mess.

No injuries so far.

On for some kind of a record here.

What has Al Jazeera done that they want such a big international news organisation shut down? I don't use it for news very often but they've made some decent documentaries Al-Jazeera Arabic promotes Islamists, Hamas, regime change, the Muslim Brotherhood, and some say ISIS. Really?

looks a very lightweight midfield. Particularly when you throw in an 18 year old 7.

That's definitely the bit to concentrate on in my post So essentially, the nub of your point is that the cause of Itoje's regular fist pumping, screaming etc when he plays rugby, is Rory Best's line out throwing ?

How much protesting by the lady would be the right amount, in your opinion ? Whilst I would normally by habit agree that anything coming out of T.rump's mouth or keyboard is repugnant, to suggest that Iran has no "claims of friendship" with terror groups seems a little disingenuous. Then again, we ...

So Turkey and KSA could be getting into airspace standoffs with F16 that were both purchased from Uncle Sam.

My view is that to beat the ABs, you've got to play an expansive game and have pace, great running lines/side steps and deft hands. I'd ban kicking (unless absolutely necessary) and I'd try something different - how about this?: Mako, George, Furlong Kruis, Lawes Stander, Faletau, Warburton Murray ...

A lot of it comes down to implicit racial bias. People struggle with Itoje clapping because they don't like black men being demonstrative. The first rule any black man growing up in Western society learns is: Be calm - don't ever lose your temper or be emotional, because most white people can't han...

Don't know why anyone is trying to argue it shouldn't have been a YC. I'd be more concerned about how f**k thick Williams is to put himself in that position.

Just catching the "highlights". Didn't see the first offence by Williams but that card was a joke, he had every right to go for that ball. He did have every right to go for the ball. Trouble is, he didn't go for the ball and tackled the player instead. Two tackles in the air in quick succession = y...

Gatland said he was going to ensure that everyone got a game in the first three matches, so I expect that the team will reflect that and the possible Test team won't be seen until Tuesday. I think the team posted by 'rfurlong' will be close to the one selected, or should be. There have been some in...

For me the only players who can probably be considered to be very likely to start the first test (subject to injury), are : Warburton Falatau Murray Farrell The worrying sign is that one of those is on account of him being captain, and 2 of the other 3 on account of them not having started a game ye...
