Has that been colourised?

Bernard Jackman said on the Rugby Pod he had no doubt what the Leinster squad is getting paid is higher than anything in France. He reckoned 2-3 million more.

Do you suppose that Leinster would be at the top of the T14 if they didn't play their best players more than they need to in the URC to achieve the same?

Leinster are a very good team, they're the Ireland team in blue shirts, of course they're good. The current competitions they compete ...

Leinster's budget is on par with any of the top T14 sides.

The point is the attrition. Toulouse were shattered last week and La Rochelle will be shattered next week. Surely you can see how Leinster having time off to prepare and taper specifically for HEC matches gives them a huge ...

The three French semi finalists have a combined budget bigger than the IRFU's entire revenue.

Aren't there other things at play in those French budgets? I read something a few years ago saying ...

Kerr-Barlow is out for the final. Huge blow for La Rochelle, he is the player that settled West.

Is there much French concern about the current format and having to contend with Irish teams? They have consistently been getting teams into the latter stages of the competition, and winning ...

You were talking about countries structuring their domestic competitions to beat suit what works best for that country. The RFU don't run the English clubs.

No I did not. What I did say was that rugby in England is run the way that suits England. I never mentioned domestic competitions or ...

All three of our squads are going to have to check their depth, now that we've qualified for Europe.

There is a drol in the drink water, Both Scottish teams can still qualify.

It would need to be pretty sensitive to be useful. I think a lot of GPS stuff is average speed measured over 10m. If you google Usain Bolt's top speed the answer that is thrown up is his fastest average speed for a 10m split. You have to do a lot more digging to find his highest instantaneous speed ...

More techmology could be the answer. You've got hotspot in cricket, electronic pads to pick up false starts in sprinting, sensors to detect who touches the wall first in swimming.

If they can come up with a system that can accurately measure whether or not a pass is forward relative to the passer ...

Uhm, if the ball goes forward it is a forward pass.

It wouldn't matter about being relative to the ground, or the angle of the hands, or the effect of the moon on the ocean tide.

Oh, it matters a lot. If you are talking about forward relative to the ground you wouldn't be allowed to pass ...

Or, if the ball is passed and it goes forward: IT IS A FORWARD PASS.

Forward relative to the ground?

That would make no sense. You wouldn't be able to legally pass the ball to someone behind you if you were running fast enough to make the pass forward relative to the ground.

Uhm, if the ...

Adolf "Adi" Dassler who founded Adidas was member of the Nazi party as was his older brother, Rudolf who founded Puma.

What's wrong with that?

Adi Dassler also became romantically involved with a 15 year old when he was 32, marrying her a year later.

Oh, that kind of thing wasn't ...

Basketball - Michael Jordan
