Sounds a bit Coup'ish. Not quite that exciting. Sounds more like the sitting President, outnumbered by the opposition and unable to pass legislation while dogged by stories of his corrupt wife, has fearlessly decided to defend his nation from the evil forces of the North who have infiltrated the so...

With all the penalties drivers will get for not slowing under the yellows, it'll be next week before we know the result.

It's pouring acid on the foundations of the state but that's nothing new at this stage. I could be indulging and melodramatic here, but I've got to ask... the noble concept of 'state' with regard to the US looks to be under serious threat. Do you think it's salvagable? I think the US is already dee...

Bad decision, beyond the optics for Biden himself, a vindicative Trump will likely see something utterly false concocted and charged through Kangaroo court.

One or two odd selections, a couple of key players out of form, appallingly bad catching throughout. Let's not all panic. We die-hard BC supporters have seen it all before.

Interesting that Sumo uses the phrase ‘ rugby needs to move with the times’ within that article. He’s not specifically suggesting that himself, rather putting it forward as one of the arguments to be made. I’m gonna suggest the opposite is true. I know I’m the older generation of fan and don’t neces...

One or two odd selections, a couple of key players out of form, appallingly bad catching throughout. Let's not all panic. We die-hard BC supporters have seen it all before. Pretty much agree with you here. Uncharacteristically poor fielding from the BCs really let England away and after that it was...

Yep.

Good. Should I blame the ref?

Is it over yet?

Was looking forward to reading the ref blaming here and ye did not disappoint. No-one's blaming the ref but it's fair to say he made a couple of very poor non decisions, the obvious one being a missed knock on that led to a try. The other one was the foot in touch missed. As I mentioned after the k...

I’m not blaming the ref for Australia’s loss, you simpleton.

One positive out of Seymour’s unpleasant bit of populist bullshit is the growing awareness of what te Tiriti is actually all about and as we saw with the recent hikoi, some substantial support across society for the preservation of what it stands for. Interesting ‘snippet’, 5 years or so before the ...

uhhhh... ok.

The Wallabies can rightly feel hard done by

Ehhh? All they've done is defend and rely on Irish f ups. Hard done by because Ireland got the win off blind officials. Even though Ireland had lots of the ball they barely looked like a dominant winning team, and Australia looked the more dangerous with ball in hand. Ireland looked like a clueless...

If the score ends like this, Australia can feel hard done by. Ehhh? All they've done is defend and rely on Irish f ups. My stream died and I'm missing the last 8 minutes of the game... but for most of the match, Ireland have had all the territory and most of the possession and been unable to capita...

This is a bit of a shit show, with added tension.

So, the TMOs are criticised for being too involved in the game with multi phase reviews.

I guess we could call that a rebalancing?

ok. Yes, they do

That was just an incredible passage of play...

question. Do refs just sit back and watch breakdowns now regardless of what's going on?
