To be fair the 6N has only had BPs since 2017, it was a change placed on it. It's not a major thing but I do find it a little sad that the 2015 Super Saturday scenario likely won't happen again as it was tons of fun.

I think it's a lot more than bonus points that have changed us from those days. We see very high scoring cup games now when they don't factor in. I am a fan for a league season but think 6N is too short.

It's why bonus points are a mistake in a short tournament like the 6N. In 2015 with England, Wales and Ireland battling for points difference they all went hell for leather to score as many tries as they could.

It should be noted that when the US set up new regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq in the early 2000s they chose a parliamentary system. Spreading democracy...but not their type.

I come from a Labour heartland, a steel town. 100% the vast majority never go to church or are that arsed with social conservatism, if you want to win them back it is the basics: get the NHS working better, bring in jobs, make the high street less of a dump, fill potholes etc etc.

Need to arrange two pre RWC friendlies with England, he rather enjoys scoring against them.

Well done Italy, every record is there to be broken.

Always. Luckily I have the world feed with Andrew Cotter doing it.

They should give him Hogg's returned MBE.

France failing to keep it under the 50.

It's Mark Robson on the world feed, he's from Northern Ireland. He does those digs all the time, a few months back he extended it to mocking the Wales football team even though they've qualified for a lot more than Ireland in recent years.

On form it looks perfectly possible. They held Ireland a lot closer away than England did at home. They have the more settled team. History though gives them little hope.

It's also mad since from 2016 or 17 World Rugby demanded only A teams could be second capture teams. The under 20/21, Wales XV, Emerging Ireland, Saxons, Maori do not count. You can pick players only under 23 but call it the A team.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

It appears we may have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei

Isn't it traditional in rugby for the home team to change colours to accommodate the visitors? Rugby values gone.

This is why a model of austerity won't work. You cut, shrink and prune and it all gets lesser. Scarlets got 9k averages in 2018, West Wales derby in 2016 got 19,500. This is recent, some players still playing, not nostalgia for the 1970s. They could have planned to get back there.

He took his time to bed into the team, 2 minutes.

AI Stephen Jones 'all time XV' selector. Like the real thing it's different each time but always has Juan Martin Hernandez at 10.

Definitely you can do naps in the middle to absorb some of the booze and start again. If you can pick the 'beers' even easier, grab some 3% session ales instead of 5%+ ones.

It's still an almighty mess. RCK says in some ambiguous word salad that the future isn't Scarlets or Ospreys paying out of PYS but while they still want benefactor money that isn't their choice. Cutting 2 derbies a year is also going to hit commercial revenues badly, only SvO has delivered numbers.

These people, all of them, are 100% getting a lot less sex than a goth (of either sex) in 1993. They always made a lot less effort but were always paired up.

Working in a call centre many years back on customer was so angry at a long wait he blew a whistle down the phone. The poor young woman answering had to get medical treatment for her eardrums. The police were called (it was a bank, we had all his details) and he was charged with ABH assault.

2019 election results. 13k Con, 11k Labour, 10.5k Plaid, 2k Brexit Party.

Ynys Mon 2019. 60% votes to left/centre. Tory win. A fun system indeed.

It's mad. Like normally those analysts every test team employs are just playing Candy Crush all week but spring into life for mighty England.

They do but just the main Spider-Man movies would easily cover that, it's after around 10 years of inaction that the rights revert. The obscure spinoffs were a choice, even comics readers would barely have heard of Madame Webb.

There's also the bit that if the gap is too large between teams the higher one doesn't get any points. That's what happened with France against Italy, their points total didn't move from last week. That's to rule against gaming the system by playing lots of games against weak opposition.

Koh Samui was going to be my suggestion, it's almost like being at a resort.

It's not, a friend of mine looked at Wales' schedule and they are playing SA and Argentina a week apart. Joburg to BA may not have been that bad but as they've chosen venues that need connecting flights unless they charter a plane the quickest scheduled flights take 3 days.
