The game seems pretty open this year, though like all welshmen I am torn between hyperbolic hope because we're the best rugby nation on earth and when you cut us we bleed Jenkins and coal and the much prophesied return of JPR might well be this year, and crushing despair that we might not beat the saesneg.

I also wear Canterbury, but they're midrise and I put all 9 studs in due to being a slow second rower who plays on soft turf.

We pushed the scrum machine in deep soft mud today and these new boots kept my feet dry and I had the best traction of the pack. 5/5, would buy again.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
Meanwhile, I wonder what Quade Cooper is up to....

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
Is this televised?

I have nothing against them using Myreside. It needs alot of improvement, but piping crowd noise through lovely speakers is a disgrace

Sydney 7s Women's Cup final is :911: vs :canada:


Oh, and 6Ns :toxx: - if England do a grand slam, I will get an avatar and custom text of Tyma's choice, to make up for the Rees Preistland one I gave him a while ago (yeah, that was me, sorry).
If Ireland wins, Apollodorus can select the avatar or custom text.
If Scotland win more games than they lose, Vader's Jester gets the choice.
If the outcome results in an overlap (like "Scotland win 3 and England or Ireland win the title"), it will be first in, first served.
I will keep this avatar until the conclusion of the Lions series.
In the case of a Grand Slam win by any of the three teams, I will keep said avatar until the conclusion of the Rugby Championship.

Falcons were pumping in crowd noise. Seahawks built a stadium specficially designed to amplify crowd noise which is a different kind of stupid

Apparently the Falcons coach really likes the All Blacks and has studied their route to success so they're alright in my book. Obviously this won't stop the powers of darkness that are the Patriots but it's nice to know an NFL coach can see further than his own sport.

The BBC opening their 6 Nations coverage with a nonstop 10 minute compilation of red card tackles from the past 3 months is perhaps a worse omen :{

Their forwards are getting bullied, they're going to need to replace most of the pack by the hour and the bench isn't exactly stacked. They need to be carrying a solid buffer by then.
