Scotland suddenly deciding that tackles are optional.

A gentle reminder that if the yield seems too good to be true, it's probably is actually too good to be true. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2r7enl3d1o The documentary last night was pretty awful to watch. The bit where the Essex wide boys and girls were celebrating in the pub thinking they ha...

Has anyone ever used the Motorway app to sell a car?

Mosese Tuipulotu is suspended for three weeks with the option of reducing it to two by doing the "Tackle School" thing Possibly a silly question but how do they implement this "infamous" tackle school. Is there a video they watch or do they actually have to go somewhere and be c...

Canada to USA travel bookings down 70% on this time last year already. AirNZ put a question on Bookface: "How many people are planning to go to USA in 2025 on holiday?" - 99% said "Fuck off!" UK, Dutch and German travel advisory: "Be absolutely sure your travel documents ar...

It's a bit depressing watching social media and seeing that literally 100% of negative comments about refs, players, teams etc are from men. Most of my mates can't believe that I take such an interest in the Scottish women's game. I really enjoy it, but it does not get the standard of officials tha...

That was a very powerful Welsh team but they always looked like they would run out of steam and we really should have buried them earlier. Some real talent in that Scottish backline and we have actually found someone who can kick out of hand which makes a massive difference. Also Rachel Malcolm is ...

I didn't realise that a player sent off for two yellows could be replaced after 20 minutes.

Ref doing everything to help the Welsh girls here. The Scottish player was pushed onto the leg of a Welsh player by another Welsh player. But off for a yellow and review for a red. Utter nonsense. Wales should have had their first yellow way earlier as well. Constant penalties unpunished. We have b...

Scottish ladies dominating possession but completely unable to retain the ball in contact.

Yeah, I had to stop as well. May re-watch 3 before going to 4. Watching Lockerbie during the break. That's a harrowing first episode and very intriguing after that watching the whole deviousness of "intelligence" and politics. The suggestion that US intelligence were on the ground instant...

A proper game of two halves though.

Biffer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 20, 2025 10:44 pm Correct me. If I'm wrong. In 1990,punxhing someone was a red card. Is that right

Genuine question.

Pretty much yes. Was it not Scott Murray who was sent off for swinging a boot at an opponents leg and barely made contact.

There's a slightly clearer view of it here, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/videos/cqlygq419yko That it was a deliberate action from Mauvaka cannot be in dispute. There is nothing in that laws that I can see that says White has to be knocked out or has to suffer a broken jaw, on the contrar...

Can't believe that TNT and presumably the UCI have put the cycling on a pay channel. Seems odd that a sport entirely dependent on advertising should cut out so much of its audience

Bit of an old thread, but seems a suitable place. Just had my heatpump survey done by octopus, hopefully good to get one fitted for around £1750. Our boiler is old and I suspect on it's last legs anyway, so figured this isn't a bad option. With solar and batteries, it's definitely a sensible choice...

Just back after early round at Kilspindie. A delayed start for the frost to lift but after than just glorious weather, blue skies, warm and little wind. Nice not playing off mats and putting on smooth greens. Drove and putted well but short game just plain awful! Always the next round to look forwa...

Off for my first round of the year later this morning. Kilspindie in sunny but chilly conditions - 3degrees but feels like -1. At least light winds and no chance of rain/snow. Wish me luck! Playing Gullane No1 next Friday which should be fun. Had possibly one of the best fourballs I have ever playe...

Adolesce on Netflix is superb short series. Thought provoking for parents and Stephen Graham is national institution Hard to view but amongst the best TV this decade. Looking forward to watching this. I couldn't get into another Graham project, A Thousand Blows. Gave up on it after just one and a b...

Yep, great gave. Him, Fagerson and Ritchie have a decent chance. Ritchie would be the perfect dirt tracker for when the yokels go hunting for scalps and try to soften the boys up. Ritchie is the perfect midweek captain. Fuck you. Fuck all of you. You want to fuck up my guys? I will break you. I'll ...

OK fuck it, the too early and very blue tinted specs squad. Using the same initial numbers per position as 2021 except 1 more centre (numbers per position taken in '21 in brackets): Hooker (3): Sheehan, Kelleher, George (thought about Lake) Props (6): Furlong, Porter, Genge, Stuart, Fagerson, Schoe...

Back row (7 including Lawes): Doris, Morgan, Curry (T), Earls, JvDF, Curry (B), one of Ritchie/Dempsey/Fagerson This is Courtney Lawes, yeah? I don't get that at all. I've seen him mentioned a few times, but I don't get it Yeah, terrible move when players are being so critically judged on form in t...

My 6N hot take is that Darge isn't as good as we think he is and not shown enough at international level yet to be captain. My hot take is Gilcho was actually pretty good today. My hot take is that Gilcho usually is pretty good, good or very good. He gets dung thrown at him for not being Eben Etzeb...

There’s going to be some very very tired lads tonight. Talking about the Scottish posters complaining about referees? Sure its their national favourite past time, they are bound to have a bit of stamina. Reckon they can whinge for a few weeks yet 👍 I think you'll find every reasonably minded rugby ...

Schoeman might have done himself a lot of good there too.

Keyser is almost hysterical.

They are having a laugh. The guy is on his back.

What the fuck. This is ridiculous.

He's not had a great game
There's a set of Scotland fans on twitter who think he's a nailed on Lion. Based on 6N he's not the best 7 in our team.

Agreed. Not in the reckoning. Schoeman, Fagerson and Ritchie are the only chances.

Just the 3 warnings to let it go.

We all know that will be no more than a penalty.

KingBlairhorn wrote: ↑Sat Mar 15, 2025 9:24 pm When is dragged into touch ever given as a penalty?

The prick is just making shit up now.

We are nothing if not predictable

Still totally confused about the high degree of danger for the headbutt. We've seen reds for punches that wouldn't hurt a 5 year old. I reckon we will get yet another apology from the IRB for that one but as usual that's fuck all use.

How many offences are France allowed in a defensive set. At last
