Despite not having played internationals for how many months? How much club rugby has he played?

Junior Army cadets. Marching around and learning to shoot rifles.

I remember some sort of outside organisation covering that for us, it wasn't included as part of school activities. We had square dancing, I think and free dental care on campus at primary school. Anaesthetic wasn't deemed ...

Not easy to get at if a player is dipping into contact, perhaps leaning forwards and with a raised forearm. In many instances anyway. And we might end up encouraging tacklers to plant their faces into a hip which isn't in all ways an ideal outcome.

Anyway, for myself I hope they're thinking ...

Note that quite a lot of modern "Philips screws" are actually pozidrive screws.

Damn you with your sensible, logical response !!! < shakes fist >

Philips screws actually aren't great for camming out either. They came about because Henry Ford didn't want to pay for Robertson screws ...

Just back from a good mates funeral and they had a piper playing Flower of Scotland for us all to sing - quite a lot of tears

yup, the bagpipes always make me cry as well

Not a lot for the neutral to get excited about

Competitive matches make for a good spectacle. Wouldn't be surprised to see some empty seats for the semifinals.

There were plenty of empty seats at both Marseille games. Interestingly only about half the hospitality boxes were in use

Yup ...

National thread, Welsh trolls get the fuck out.

Trolling?

How can you troll the already incensed? They are already dialed to 11.

There were probably 3 times Welsh supporters than Argentinian there and they got properly outsung.

I've never seen that before.

I have a couple of cat 2 tickets vs Fiji for sale on the resale site from the follow your team pack (my wife is the England fan) but I would let them go for less money to someone from here, especially if I recognise your name!

Well that's a cunt of a post.

No. Whatever you think about something, never try to arrange a pile on. That's just shitty behaviour.

I was walking around Kensington yesterday and was appalled by the ravaged state of some of the tourists.

So the game is, who from that squad stand a chance of making the World Cup squad proper.

I'd say these lot are certs:
Genge
Dombrandt
Sinckler
Stuart
Lawrence
Smith

These are likely:
Marler
Arundell
Walker
Care
Blamire*

No love for the stage door, HH?

Internationals tend to be fine there, but no chance for club games, they get distracted by football. Especially derby city for some reason

Philomena's is normally the answer @slick and paddington

Evenpoel's TT time was all done on the flat. He wasn't great up the climb. There's plenty of climbing in this Giro.

Name drop. My cousin's son is riding in the Giro so I'm paying more attention than usual.

It's not a name drop if you don't drop the name!

Think I mentioned it previously ...

Anecdotally, it appears a lot of the turned away are pensioners, as a good deal of them lack the ID. That would chime with my experiences truing to get ID from elderly clients, everything has expired as they no longer go abroad or drive.
