Exeter or Quins for the fourth spot seems most likely. Leaning Quins since Exeter are away at Welford Road.

This aged well.....

Ah yes. Thank-you. Cohen was gone by 2004, I think, although he had fallen off badly even by the 2003 Final. Last capped in '06, but in and out of squads for the couple of years before that. The way his form fell off a cliff and never got close to reaching the peak again should be studied. Lots of ...

Cohen? Nah, he had a purple patch but he wasn't a great wing. Shit on the Lions tour It was an important purple patch. And Lions form complicates things: Daly was excellent on the wing against the ABs, whereas I can't remember May even playing for the Lions. Struggling to remember many properly goo...

Providing in a comp you use players registered for said comp I don't know how you'd police it beyond that. I can imagine the league sponsors, game sponsors and TV company are a bit pissed off at having to sponsor/show a second rate game. It is this that will drive the money away from the game, why ...

Not wanting to steal anyone's thunder, but I've been silent-ish for the last year or so after being diagnosed with Heart Failure - specifically left ventricle reduced function... By the time my useless GP finally referred me to the cardio unit I was a day away from dying, so am luck to still be here...

How about imagining King Donald? with no set term, no way of getting rid There would be a huge queue lining up to be the assassin! The point is that the current monarch can’t be used as an argument for the continuation of the “office”, just suppose it was Chaz in that car in Paris, next in line wou...

Hmm, Boots do offer the free NHS jab but local branch has no free time slots before 17 Dec! That's odd. A slot is a slot is a slot. The only difference should be if you need the elderly variant which is a different vaccine to the regular population, and has different supply chain issues. Mrs Saints...

My GP surgery ran out of flu vaccine now, have to wait minimum 3 weeks or pay to have it done through private service at a pharmacy If you qualify for free flu vaccine, you qualify, full stop.

Another one. The theory is that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. But we also know that gravity acts instantly, regardless of distance. So, theoretically, if you could replace the sun with a star twice the mass, the effect on the Earth would be instant. But we wouldn't see the new star...

To add to that, th wave part is stranger.

Imagine a wave of light that's a light year long. If you can manipulate the end correctly, the start changes instantly. So that's quantum entanglement transmitting information instantly.

(Very poor description of what happens)

Light has some very peculiar properties. In part it's a particle, in part a wave, and in part just a probability. When you look at the probability piece and the particle piece, it turns out that a very small % of photons exceed the speed of light, because there's an equivalent number of photons that...

Nah, the only comparison to America class LHDs iscwe didn't order theb F35C or enough F35Bs The America class can only handle around 6 F35s Wasp class is a bit more aligned towards heli operations, but that's because the US has the Nimitz/Ford class for serious Air operations. In terms of role they...

I know - which is why I said "by rights". Can't work out what the real alternative to either would be; they're obviously hoping that Hameed returns to his pre-injury debut potential, but I'm not sure of that TBH

By rights neither Burns nor Sibley should be retained. Burns averages a touch over 31, Sibley around 28 with slightly fewer matches under his belt. But at least with Burns, the longer he stays in the more likely he looks like he will stay longer and score. Sibley just looks like he's going to get hi...

You;re pretty close to describing the capabilities of the QE class (barring the amhpib assault craft, but that type of operation requires a very specialist vessel that a carrier air wing would help protect). The QE class are more akin to the US Wasp class of carriers (technically Helicopter Landing...

The momentum shift starting with the Indian tail wagging followed by the surprise declaration was palpable. England's answer was to try and block it out in traditional test manner and they simply don't have that in their locker. Once Kohli went on the attack like that a better bet would have been t...

Or alternatively we could listen to Toby here and bungee him to the side of an F35 https://twitter.com/Tobias_Ellwood/status/1426815076519063555?s=19 It’s the constant problem of UK defence procurement. We want our equipment to be as good as anyone else’s but that means we lack quantity. Better min...

None of which would be particularly useful in this situation. The only thing that might be of use really is the QE - load her up with Merlins and you can manage a decent emergency evac

And there goes what little chance we had left

If that's not the end of Sibley's England career then nothing is

They probably ought to have a crack at it - I have more faith in their ability to do that than bat time given the morning's session

Did not see that coming............

Impressive how we've pretty much thrown the win away so rapidly. Draw looks most likely as India unlikely to declare with enough time to bowl England out, who look unlikely to bowl India out any faster

Really rare position to be in - midway through the morning session on the last day and all 3 finishes still possible. England maybe marginal favourites, but just 10-20 runs could change that

Fantastic morning for England

Bairstow gets him slef out to the very obvious short ball trap; Root gets his ton.

Trail by 128, 4 down

Root and Bairstow made the morning session today look very easy

We should extend this to - Crusaders. Clearest case of all given the root of the world's major strifes currently. - Saints. Absolutely offensive to god botherers. - Saracens. Hard to see how this differs from the Chiefs scenario. - English fans singing "Swing Low". Only just seen this, bu...

And the collapse begins

England on a roll this morning

Bored with this now. if you want to go and win the internet knock yourself out, but I can't be arsed

Why will they never exists? So of the 517 million purchased, how many will actually be manufactured? Indeed, I'm old enough to remember earlier this year where the intransigent EU commission were blithering fools deliberately seeking the death of their own populations by looking for supply timeline...

Why will they never exists? So of the 517 million purchased, how many will actually be manufactured? Anyone that claims to know is in cloud cuckoo.

Hopefully this pushes JCVI to change its guidance for the UK before school starts. We've only just opened up to 16+. It will be weeks if not more before they open up to 12+ You've bought over 400 million doses so might as well vaccinate everyone, despite the fact that there's no chance for herd imm...

Jason Kenny!!! 7th Gold :clap: :clap: :clap: What was the Aussie thinking. I bet the rest of the field wanted to slap him. Yes, not only did he leave too big a gap between him and Kenny, he was too busy checking out what the riders were doing behind him and got caught out when Kenny set off. Intere...

Was one of the most dominant displays of cycling we are likely to see in the Madison. Yep, what was it - winning 10 out of 12 sprints? They didn't even need to attempt gaining a lap even though it looked like a couple of times they could have done They did though - they did gain a lap along with th...
