As soon as Harinordoquy got the try, I thought "now everyone will say he played well." It's the Spin It Wide brigade, naza! (Shit, now I'm appealing to naza for sense. Bad sign.)

I had already been in Paris for 2 days on a shopping death march when 3pm Saturday came around – time to meet Paris Tah at an Irish Pub to watch Ireland play Italy. My holiday had started at last. After watching a feeble Ireland dribble over the line against Italy, it was time to head north on...

TOCC - show us what happens just after your edit at 2:40 :lmao:

Last year KooGa sponsored with a jersey. Gagger, mods, any news for this year?

Been watching a bit since I got to the old country. Rolland is a goose even at this level. Barnes is very good, though.

Yeah Groucho, I don't think you've got that right. Sure, bonus points as a % decline, but win points also decline as a %. They each have to make way for bye points as a %. But the fact remains that it will make absolutely no difference to the standings, or importance of bonus points.

Do you need a match report from Paris Tah and The Scarf from Paris?

Bruce, that kind of pedantry annoys the hell out of me. A guy puts in the effort to make a video, which was fun to watch and might get the ARU to start making decent ads, and you make a sneaky hit on the spelling. If you had written, "Good video, you need to change the spelling to Templeton" I'd...

Big Tah Man fan, right here. He was the reason my kids first got into the Waratahs. And abseling off the roof of the SFS? Jumping out of a helicopter? C'mon! What's not to go crazy about? Oddly enough, cheerleaders haven't been discussed. Me and Bruce Ross don't like them, but I suspect...

SFS on a Friday night is full of CBD worker ****s. What can you do? Raffle some Masterchef gear?

Just chiming in to say: awesome thread, keep going, loving it.

They're going to get in trouble for running on the putting green, though.

I'm in. I'll fire up the video editing suite and find a few choice flops.

La flama blanca!

Really? An excess of reason seems an obvious idea to me, but maybe that's because my wife keeps telling me to stop being so rational all the time. If anyone can be bothered, something like this discusses it...

I assume you mean that you don't understand how the Holocaust could be considered an excess of reason. Or maybe you feel that reason is the kind of thing you can't have too much of? I think economics has a word for that kind of "good". Either way, keep apologising for being part of the dismal...

There's the alternative take on it which is that modernity was actually postmodernity in its development. But actually, I think there are good reasons to believe that certain shifts have taken place. Principally, that certain ideals of the Enlightenment (science, rationality, human progress)...

Fairly unnecessary use of the term "postmodern." They observe the commercialisation of rugby within a postmodern society. Same as everything else.

2:20 is very nice. I wish him the best of success.

So, what are the issues here? Is the question: (1) Is it a good thing that rugby is mostly limited to a few private schools? or (2) Should the ARU do something about it? I reckon it should be appropriate for the ARU to encourage slow growth outside the elite private schools. To give more...
