I'm in the Tuipulotu/Ringrose camp. No way Aki is playing better than Tuipulotu. Farrell seem determined to give Hansen as many minutes as possible to impress, but he simply isn't. Freeman is a much better choice, and he can cover fullback as well. Therefore in a 5:3 split, you could still have Jones on the bench. Morgan should definitely start. Will Stuart should start ahead of Furlong (who has been unimpressive). |

I'd gladly swap a Lions test victory for England beating Argetina again next weekend. |

"Off the pitch, we are in the process of exploring new opportunities which we feel will help QPR take important steps forward as we do everything we can to be as competitive as possible." "The staff at QPR are working incredibly hard to put the club in the best possible position to progress." How do they measure "... important steps forward" or "progress"? |

Tragic. Absolutely awful. I hope his wife and kids are getting plenty of support. |

Why would Stephan need an analyst (Rudy Cuni), if Nourry's analysis laptop dictates how the club and football is run? |

In my mind it's simply about the challenge of being able to take a bunch of players, used to playing potentially disparate styles and systems, and trying, in just a few weeks, to turn them into a team capable of competing with a top tier Southern Hemisphere team. Think of all the films/stories that have the same basic premise: Magnificent Seven, Dirty Dozen, Cool Runnings, The Mighty Ducks, Bend It Like Beckham, Remember The Titans, The Avengers, Saving Private Ryan... |

I don't think it's realistic to expect a scratch side, featuring probably only five players that will be in the starting fifteen for the first test match, to beat a team that in the past ten months has won against: South Africa, New Zealand, France, Australia, and only lost by three points to Ireland in Dublin. A game like that should be viewed more as a progress check, than a game that they have to win. |

I think we'll win that one. |

Recently my O2 phone contract came to an end. Rather than have a new handset I decided to go for 12 months of sim only. But O2 wanted about £23! A quick check on Uswitch and I got a better sim only deal for £7... still with O2! Nothing changed in my O2 account, and I got a 12 month free subscription to Perplexity Pro (saving $20 per month)! Unbelievable deal. |

This worked for ages for my middle son travelling back to High Wycombe... until one day it didn't. On that day, when they asked to see his ticket, and he didn't have one, they were able to generate a report tracking a bunch of other other times he had taken journeys (on various railways) without a ticket. He ended up having to get a lawyer, and pay a fine of £3K (which was more than the fares that he'd dodged) just to avoid a criminal conviction. Needless to say, he's learned his lesson now. |

Indoor football pitch with seats made me laugh. Obviously it would have to be changed to hoops. |

From experience, a whiting is even better. |

Considering Tossa de Mar or Lloret de Mar in the Costa Brava, or Alghero in Sardinia. Any recommendations for keeping an otherwise grumpy 15yo son amused there? |
