Certainly the game got away from Glasgow yesterday, but the first 30 were excellent

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

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

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

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)

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!

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

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

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
