Great read here, a bit hyperbolic, but the game continues to evolve!

Wasn't vintage back then right, so is it really a vintage car?

This goes back to his time on the western front. No trees aling the whole thing

Nah, you can't. Sex and the City did a whole episode on how good the rabbit was. And things have only gotten more creative since. Clit blaster 3000 isn't sci-fi these days

Am a programmer: Red <> red. Hence the red Green must be the answer

French rugby the force to beat in Europe now. The new summer championship is gonna be juicy for rugby fans next month!

Good fixing, well done. Very dull

Wtf, surely FIFA would offer bids for each country instead? Total banana republic stuff here

Scott Hastings obituary: 'A force of energy and positivity' (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Bloody hell, a shock to read this. He didn't look that old! He'll be greatly remembered in Scotland at least, and Tom English with a very nice piece about him here

Sky Sports to remain home of Formula 1 until 2034 after five-year extension to exclusive UK and Ireland deal | F1 News | Sky Sports in c/formula1@lemmy.world
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Not surprising. TNT and Premier Sports both unlikely to put in a decent bid. Amazon and Netflix not wanting to nab the UK sports streaming yet

The problem with RFU’s handling of Six Nations review is that England fans aren’t stupid (www.theguardian.com)
 

Posting this for the headline alone, enjoy!

Squidge on high scores (www.youtube.com)
 

Lotsa tries at the moment, come learn the reason why! (I thank the 50:22 rule mostly - forces the back three to cover more ground and therefore more gaps in the front line for breaks)

Women's Six Nations: Scotland celebrate hard-fought 24-19 victory over Wales (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

The women are under way for sure. France thumping Italy, and England thrashing Ireland. So not great surprises, but this was a thriller, worth watching the highlights at least!

Parling’s TV spat with Doyle symbolises the tug of war for rugby’s modern soul (www.theguardian.com)
 

A good read here about the nature of professional rugby union. Who is it for? What do punters want to see?

Female coaches 'huge' for women's rugby - Emily Scarratt (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

I don't tend to watch the Women's game enough, but this was a nice read. I'll be checking out the Scotland side at least this w6n - which is less than a week away!

Six Nations: France star Louis Bielle-Biarrey wins 2026 Player of Championship award (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

He was very good. Feels a distant memory now, but the women's 6 nations is right around the corner

Lanarkshire bakery taken over by employees (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Fantastic news for Cumberbnauld. Mr Sword, I salute you. Now, how come I've never seen your products down the M8? An easy fix I'm sure now it is employee owned
