As I said back in May:



To those working in healthcare and adjacent spaces, it's been very clear from an early stage that this pandemic was going to have a deep and long-lasting impact on many...

Can we please just take a moment to appreciate the absolute clarity of this matrix, as opposed to the ambiguous and much-debated mish-mash of the "flow chart" in the community game?

1. My view is that Blue 16 has looked for a penalty, and I feel vindicated in that by the way he theatrically throws himself to the ground. The white player is barely moving, and he's certainly not...

Hard to view the Waikato team as appropriation given a) they are based in the country of said Chiefs' origins, b) a substantial part of the fan base can claim some Maori heritage, c) many players...

This is the American Way! How else can anybody explain flat earthers, preppers, birthers, anti-vaxxers, false flaggers, moon landing hoaxers, controlled demolitioners, etc., etc. And now...

This and other similar ploys are presumably the reason for law 21.11:
The ball must be kicked a visible distance. If the kicker is holding it, it must clearly leave the hands. If it is on the...

This sounds like an all-round terrible idea.

Meh. No real interest from me. I don't see the fascination of this kind of game.

I am as sceptical of these claims as I am of those who claim they had coronavirus last October.



Look, I'm not trying to take offence on someone else's behalf, but that seems like a pretty...

It’s a slave song that found its way into rugby by being sung by majority white fans at black wingers scoring for their majority white team. If nobody sees any problems with that, well...

(FWIW,...

88 for me. I agree there were a couple of poorly worded questions that I found hard to visualise happening in real life. One I got wrong because it was a "gotcha" - had a technical basis in law, but...

Is this outside the TMO protocol for league? A match-changing decision must surely be worthy of review...

Quite surprised in both cases that it wasn't a penalty - easily justified as an act that is "reckless or dangerous to others" under Law 9.11. Given they both interrupted a dominant attacking move, I...

Not really surprising given a) the fatness of modern-day post protectors vs when the law was first written and b) this season’s antics of several defending teams lifting them up or ripping them off...

Interesting scenarios - micro-leagues not very far from my round robin idea in post #9.

What's TaB? And what difference does it make to the scheduling?

With my life scientist hat on, all proposals - rugby or otherwise - for a "COVID-19 passport" are worthless until a) we are certain that recovery implies immunity and b) we have a reliable antibody...

At this point, I think real leadership from the RFU would be admitting that competitive community rugby should only start in January, and planning for a round robin half-season, instead of a full...

Ugh, Line 13. Tant pis!

Saint-Lazare

King's Cross is it? You're right, there is only one choice!

Honestly, crossref, you can’t go all legal literalist and then over look something as basic as LIFO for being in Nidd! I said very clearly at the start that this was Cambridge Standard! Tsk tsk.

Er... Fizz.

I think. :shrug:

From Richmond, I'll play a Back Hand and take us to Leicester Square.

(And I think you'll find Ellis's spheroid was prolate. If I'm being picky, I could deduct you a mark.)

Right, a simple one so the newbies can get involved too. Since the network is largely suspended, we'll play the Cambridge Standard Rules, with broken escalators as wild.

I'll start: Chalfont &...

Lawes draws back his left arm immediately before contact. As soon as he does that, he's in trouble - it guarantees the hit will be shoulder-first, with virtually no likelihood of completing a wrap.
