The 2024/25 fixtures will be out tomorrow. That would be great, the Glasgow and Embra renewal for ST closes today and yesterday respectively. By the sounds of it the fixtures may be at odd times hence the early renewal deadlines. Where did you read that the fixtures were being released? Just checke...

Loan deals should not be what Connacht are looking for right now, bar injury jokers. You need players who will commit.

Not a huge surprise. Decent last hurrah for him though but overall, he could have been so much more.

Bloody hell. You wonder if it's a case of they didn't have time to buckle up when the sign came on due to being asleep or if it happened too fast for them to react.

Apart from the time Glasgow won the league you're dead right

9 years ago...

oh, a point that someone (a Munster supporter) raised elsewhere, it has been said that Leinster's B team would win the league. That is obviously far from true now and perhaps they don't have the depth that we all thought they had. The schedule is Kinder to them this year so they'll be able to go fu...

Think he might have owned papers in NZ as well?

Fine player. Don't know if anybody remembers Mark from them old bored but he once played with TOR in an end of season jaunt.

Why is the game chat in here and not the URC thread?
We often have a chat in our own thread. I find game threads difficult to follow; team threads are easier because we are all outraged by the same things

The swarm are over there. No need to hide from them here.

Ok... personal transport handled by smart EVs. Key in destination and route and the 'car' joins the line travelling the same route, coupling in and on like a train carriage so that all units provide a share of the motive power and overall consumption is reduced through aero efficiency and load spre...

The pod would be in your own driveway!

Instead of a driveway, you have a rail siding

Always thought a light rail system with minicars would be ideal for urban areas and a missed opportunity instead of looking at self driving cars. Get rid of cars and turn roads into railways. Instead of a driveway, you have a rail siding and key in where you want to go, then sit back and enjoy the r...

Just finished reading it. It's a decent attempt at her defence but it leaves out a lot such as her nearly getting caught in the act. At about 9pm on 3 August 2015 a mother arrived on the neonatal unit with expressed breast milk for her five-day-old twin boys, known in court as Child E and Child F. ...

Staff had been raising concerns about her well before the investigation started. The insulin makes it clear some of those babies were definitely murdered and Letby was the only one with access. Either Letby murdered them (and a jury was happy with this verdict) or she has been framed for it (improba...

How do Ukraine regain the initiative here?
Russia seems to be able to absorb horrendous losses without keep and nothing seems to be giving on their side.

Zelenskyy has cancelled his foreign travel with the Russian advances near Kharkiv. Very concerning how Russia were able to build up troops there to get the jump on Ukraine.

Random historical thought - I wonder why Europeans were so slow to colonise sub-Saharan Africa? The Berlin conference took place in 1884 and 1885 - very late in the day when you consider how it was centuries earlier that European powers established colonies in the Americas. I mean the Aztecs were c...

Nice to read about players signing for a team other than Leinster for a change.

I mean the institutional shareholders.
If they are that short sighted, they deserve everything that comes their way.

Meat, you moron, not rice.

Jesus.... H.....Christ ! How bad does it have to get before the shareholders demand the sacking of every manager above a set level, & the cancellation of all benefits for the ones they've sacked over the last few years ? The US has opened a new probe of troubled jet firm Boeing, after the compa...
