Except in this case he had a bullseye painted on his forehead the moment he got the job. Speed dealers are a style of sunglasses He so not the first coach to be in that situation nor will he be the last coach. Funny thing is as long as you get results people forgive you. He went on to coach the Bla...

England's biggest problem, and it's not an uncommon one, is they have a large number of players who you could argue could be in the 6N squad but very few that are making an unquestionable case for selection. You could pick 3 XVs of arguably equal ability. Appreciate this might sound like a nice pro...

Bugger. The Arrows may have been rubbish but it’s imperative that the Canadians have a franchise. Why Ryan Reynolds hasn’t jumped at the chance to own a Canadian MLR team is beyond me. He’s on record as saying his own playing days (on the wing, the big poof) were among his most cherished memories. ...

Mostert. Unsung hero. His workrate is immense, he just never stops. Similar ase could be made for Malherbe. This and this. I came to post about Mostert but you’re definitely right about Malherbe. Just to contradict myself, PSdT might be the best 6 that ever lived and possibly the best player in the...

Matt Kearney's Rochester is a song about his dad's life. It was written from his dad's point of view. It always makes me cry and think of my dad, who I still miss. I actually couldn't listen to the song for 4 years without balling.

Next Barcelona coach?

Xavi is set at Barca, but Ancelotti is leaving Real for Brazil so that makes more sense.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I'm fascinated to see what Razor does with our locking stocks next year. With Retallick and Whitelock gone, and Vai'i and Lord flattering to decieve so far, it's the area that will require the most attention and rebuilding IMO. Only Barrett is nailed on. In my opi...

Michael Oliver should be ashamed of himself. Two yellows for decent while Nunez and Salah and TAA were losing their minds and nothing.

Recency bias is why you lot think of him as hold. Frank Pembleton in Homicide was his biggest breakthrough that a lot people remember him for.

One top of that, him and his wife were together for 77 years. We should all be so lucky. If he makes it more than 3 months, I will be shocked.

I didn't have a cellphone til I graduated university and had a job. I remember half now get phone cards in order to call home on the landline because we did have a long distance plan as we were college kids and it was the late 1900s (1998).

Joe is yet another show presenting opinion as news.
