It's often been mentioned on here about the madness of drawing the world cup nearly 3 years in advance. We now have two pools without a top 4 ranked team in them.

France's indiscipline has been a big factor here, couple of back to back penalties and suddenly Italy have dragged themselves 70-80 metres up the park.
The RFU have been getting an extremely mixed reaction to their message about reducing the tackle height to below the waist as that supposedly gives the most protection to the tacklers head and neck area. Aye right.
Made the mistake of taking someone out my team once, and that was Sean Lock which cost me a solo shot. Anyone in my team now is there until they die, or I die, whatever comes first.
An absolute fucking monstrosity. I appreciate they have to protect the entrance/exit at the bridge from the heavy foot traffic, even from folk who aren't playing but just want a picture. Surely there must be dozens of better ways than that?
Not quite correct. The bottom 3 are automatically relegated from the West Premier. 3rd bottom is spared relegation only if the winner is promoted to the Lowland League and the team being relegated goes into the East or South.
Dalbeattie's other options? Can't see them going into the West. Imo they would have a much better chance of winning the South.
Bottom of the LL for reference.
Been watching the Movistar doc on Netflix. I'm not fully convinced of the accuracy of the subtitles.
It's a good watch, Lopez chucking it at the Vuelta is superb viewing. Biggest toys out the pram ever.
A surprising 8 for Thursday with a couple of flukes, including Shakespeare for once.
Thought I knew 9 for Friday. I was wrong, scored 8.
6 for the 6 nations.
Josh Allen treating the Pro Bowl with the contempt it deserves as he is unavailable due to "injury". In unrelated news, he is teeing off in the AT&T Pro Am at Pebble Beach later today.
No doubt there will be a lot of reworking of bonuses etc to kick the can for those payments down the road a bit, but I can't see anyway they could pay for another QB when the plans recently would have been based on Lance and Purdy on their rookie deals.
