A last summer for the GOAT. :clap: Do you think he'll get another test? He really should have went after the Ashes. He is now very economical but not a wicket taker. A true great of the game but the time is right to go. Deserves a final test which he will get, but it is the right thing to do. He be...

Did you try looking through your phone camera?

No. But I'd rather experience it with my own eyes... went driving all over North Yorkshire Sat night... staring skyward... like a demented peeping Tom.

Nothing in North Yorkshire... clear as a bell as well...

A chap I see from time to time works on the show. He said one of them is really nice. Still really nice? Or used to be. It's been a few years since I saw him.

I'm 4 episodes into True Detective, and I'll probably watch the remaining two out of curiosity, but imho... ...episode 4 was the longest so far, clocking in at about an hour, but it was almost entirely predictable syrupy seal-shit.

Bron-Yr-Aur for me. A lovely piece of music.

Aaah.. so not one of those... "How fecken drunk was I last night?" photos?

A few years back when I was still in my mid-40s, I went with the Woking Rugby lads on a night out locally to a nightclub/bar/dive. About 3 or 4 of us got chatting to 2 young ladies who were dressed up nice and sexy for Halloween. After a while the cute young blonde turns to me and says "You'd ...

Apart from France... (Dupont) has any team complained about the ref during the World Cup? Maybe they did and I missed it? I don't think anybody has stepped out of line (Dupont included) but there have been grumblings and insinueations from some coaches and some players here and there. But the Bok M...

I think Sards is talking about this RWC. Bok coaches and fans were on our best behaviour. :angel: Ever since the Rassie ban ended and the talk Siya allegedly had with Rassie after Barnes got some threats after the France match in November 2022, the Bok Management staff have really made a concerted ...

I really like Barnes as a ref, thought he was good, and like all refs (and human beings) he made mistakes. And the TMO actually proved that in the final, when he called back the Nugget try, Barnes had already said it wasn't a knock on, didn't miss it just said it wasn't a knock on. So TMO said hey ...

Great ref... as an All Black supporter I only remember one poor game (the first one) from him. Since then... along with Nigel Owens, the best ref I have seen. It's disgraceful the way NZ and SA fans (and coaches) have treated him. Same goes for the abuse of other refs involved in big games... we're...

Couldn't stand Wayne Barnes, he would randomnly pick an obscure "law of the day" out of the law book, the night before and hit everyone completely unsuspectingly over the head with it, ruining matches. He only did this to appear Knowledgeable. "Oh aren't I clever...I am realiy going ...

Hmm, I wonder how much truth there is to this... Stuff understands World Rugby has privately acknowledged to the All Blacks that the ruling out of Aaron Smith’s try in the final was in fact outside the rules, but is refusing to publicly acknowledge that. Discussions have been ongoing in an effort t...

I’ve never expected Fosters team to win this RWC frankly my best hope was that they were actually competitive.

Yeah, that's what I don't get either. People saying red cards are killing the game - they're not, head contact is killing the game, and killing players / former players. If you want to stop players being sent off, increase the sanction so it's a proper deterrent. So there's a law change - draw a li...

Barnsey has retired, great ref and a great guy

Was gonna retire 4 years ago.. but was talked into staying another 4 years... the final was a bonus way to go out. Great ref.
