We will of course have to wait for some 2012 moment when a whole continent tips over and falls into lava.
But sooner have these in the bank lest there's ever a hint of middle ground between complete apathy and fatalism.
Besides, if there's money to be made someone's going to be interested.

Re: Official United Rugby Championship thread
A lot of opportunism from Glasgow in the end. Beyond Bulls tackling, there were half a dozen rucks where several Bulls forwards were standing with hands on hips against either small single Glasgow backs or knackered players with just a hand on. Just one of those forwards could have disrupted posses...

3pts a bare minimum return off all that possession.
Feel for Glasgow out there. We got the win even without the red card helped on by a cooler evening kickoff. Looks fecking sweltering mid afternoon and starting to tell. Really need to stay in touch here.

Won't comment on the correlation between Saffa sides joining the Pro/URC ranks and improvements at national level. Too many other factors in play.
