13th of August this year for the Dewar Shield. Pretty sure it was "slightly" later before the NRC, but not by a very significant amount.

Still worthwhile noting IMO. When they played well, he was often a big part.

No Tusi Pisi either.

Serious question. If you're playing a double round robin, why would you need 3 weeks of finals over 2? (And 6 teams over 4) In an uneven season, you err on the side of caution, because the 3rd or 4th best team could have had significantly harder double ups than the 5th or 6th sides, and they...

You want to see Pool of Death? Here is Pool of Death: South Africa and Fiji join your boys and Japan in pool B.

Got away with one in our game, albeit with a few forward passes missed by the ref I'll take it. Think the Fiji v USA 5th place semi will be rather lethargic given both ended up in extra time.

Gatland's Law is a joke. Emulating that would be a very silly thing.

Disagree with Citizenship. Way too much to deal with. Lack of Uniformity in time for starters, followed by shit like some countries not allowing dual nationals (Japan being the big one in the top 2 tiers), then having to deal with the shit show that is the British Isles (4 Nations, 2...

This isn't Cricket. Every nation is a Test Playing Nation. One set of rules for everyone, regardless of what they are. There should be a method for players who have say, less than 20 caps and haven't played for the side for a period of time to change allegiances on a case by case basis. I'd...

England joins the rest of Britain in the Quarters. A valiant draw by the Canucks has left a mathematical chance of them overtaking New Zealand, while Argentina joins Samoa and Uganda in the bottom half of the draw.

Scotland and Wales both through to the Quarters.

Round 2: Scotland 38 v 7 Uganda Wales 17 v 0 Samoa New Zealand v Canada England v Argentina France v Japan Fiji v Kenya Australia v Russia South Africa v USA

Oh! So that's full time! ;) (Salt level goes to 1000) Shite showing there. Need to pull off a miracle against the Blitzbokke now.

You forgot my favourite atrocity. The lovely "Ignore the refs very specific instructions twice in 2 minutes then call him a fucking cheat potentially costing your team the final and definitely costing yourself a place on the BILs tour"

Round 1: Scotland 21 - 19 Samoa Wales 29 - 7 Uganda New Zealand 26 - 12 Argentina England 33 - 10 Canada France 14 - 33 Kenya Fiji 33 - 7 Japan Australia 0 - 19 USA South Africa 41 - 0 Russia

That was sooooooooooooo much more difficult than it should have been. Can no Scottish team take restarts well? National side, Sevens side, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all well below average, and if Scotland A played with any sort of regularity, they'd be crap at them too.

Wooooooooooooo!!!! Sevens is on again!

Not unique in that. Alphabet looked like he put on 12-15kg in the 3 weeks between his last game in Glasgow and the 3rd Test in June.

Salty, salty Gatland. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/rugby-union/competitions/british-and-irish-lions/10688401/gatland-questions-townsend-omission Yes, you've only been able to secure crap assistants. But no, don't shit on England and Ireland not releasing their long standing...

Big and dumb loaned to Sarries on a short term deal. http://www.saracens.com/news-article/wallabies-lock-will-skelton-joins-saracens Can't wait to see him and big Jim on the field at the same time. Lots of 2nd row yellow cards.
