Babbling 'brook

Sounds mad but then so is having inter county and club GAA when you can't go for a coffee at your moms or socialise a toddler at play dates. The GAA suspended all club leagues and championships last week. Only inter county games are going ahead - is that any madder than having Pro14, Heinken Cup an...

'Herd immunity' in a pandemic is a theoretical concept cited in the aftermath of an outbreak as to why incidence of disease has fallen to near zero. According to WHO, there is no recorded incidence of 'herd immunity' being implemented, in history, in a community wide infectious outbreak of disease,...

I'd say an Asiatic Pro 12 with five NZ, five AU a Jpn team and an island side will line up nicely with a chance to grow "provinces" in a second islands team and possibly HK and Shanghai may be a runner. Biggest loser here with the SA move to Pro14/16 is the Argentine set up, Jaguares were decent and...

enter the 37th chamber - el Michels affair, class

Looks nice but if the neckline and stick on crests and three stripe is anything like NZ Super Rugby it's a super cheap finish in the flesh. Real cost cutting ditching embroidered crests/kit logo for stickers

Doubtful there'll be new kits this season, bit of a luxury purchase for fans who may not want to splash out in these "uncertain times", likely to be limited opportunities for fans to watch teams live until 2021 so again affecting numbers of jerseys sold if you can't water it to the game.

The Vast of Night - great low budget scifi, very unsettling low fi 50's set approach to possible alien abduction/invasion or is it

You'd think they'd want to focus minds on delivering more tries through so called assistant referees actually policing an effective hindmost foot offside rule before bothering with this time waste

Devs Nick Offerman brilliant and terrifying

On Amazon Prime they may not have Netflix levels of new content but they have Baywatch, Unsolved Mysteries, The O.C. and tonnes of other classic stuff and their film offering is like walking into a 1980's video rental shop so much random Roger Corman style stuff.

Is PRL off or still TBC?

Seems like Borris and team pushing the business as normal and its here so let's have it spread and develop herd immunity and yes a percentage of people die but thats triage. Very cold and calculated risks in the uk. Seem to be a real outlier in terms of approach and even scientifically there appears...

whats the bets tuilagi pulls out after the captains run?
can't see him being fully fit.

With Joseph to centre and it was all a ruse? Seems very Eddie

Do they not still have 5 months to make it under the cap? They've accepted that they can't , hence why they are getting relegated (a punishment for not meeting the cap in this season). They were not able to offload enough players to meet the cap, and couldn't terminate as any termination packages w...

Anyone use Philips Hue lighting in an outdoor setting? Worth the investment?

Maybe the solution is NFL draft, worst province in any season gets first pick of schools talent/AIL u20 regardless of branch of school/club provided player is happy to take academy contract with them ensures even distribution.

Anyone else think ref gave Connacht nothing last night?

Where's that after popping up from?

Hard no on B&I league. 1. Completely devalues European Cup 2. Shafts Italian rugby 3. Destroys league as stepping stone from academy/AIL to Europe to International 4. Over exposes our structures to influences of the Nigel Wrays of this world who have little to no interest in the health of game here ...
