Re: 2024/2025 Not Heineken Cup




It's not like they are going out hoovering up players on the global market to pack their squads with though, is it?



Contepomi, Elsom, Lowe, Thorn, Gibson-Park, Snyman, Barrett, Slimani, Ioane.

They can do what they like - just be transparent what they are being paid.

Prendergast (33% tackle success) and Crawley (50%) definitely on the plane due to their superior tackling :clap:

There's a very good article in the LRB about the flow of guns from the US into Mexico which - along with the demand from (and untreated addiction in) the US for drugs - is helping to sustain the drug trade and related violence.

Any takers for my theory that the female officers are part of the problem? Male officer's "overreaction" is basically that of a man protecting a female friend who has just been attacked by a man.

A big problem here is male officers feeling they have to protect their female colleagues. For the most part women shouldn't be in roles requiring physical engagement with violent parties.

World#1 ranked team beating #15, and not that convincingly based on their rankings.

But a shoe-in for the title nonetheless.

Uncle fester, you can see in the video on twitter posted by Ymx - the shot is after car accelerates against him.

He probably never should have had the gun pointing at the guy, the act of doing so seems reckless. Unless he thought the driver was armed. I'd guess 99.9% of time a driver respects the ...
