Yeah that's definitely harsh on England. England controlled the game and Ford really showed his class (I'm of the opinion that he should be the first choice 10 for England anyway).
Argentina were poor, but part of that was trying to force things against a defence they couldn't breach, with mounting scoreboard pressure and, yes, some bad luck.
Isn't AC quite effective at spreading germs though?
If France win, let's hope the ref doesn't make any questionable decisions against NZ at all. If he does, we'll be hearing about it forever and he'll be getting death threats...
Well, of course! It's a good way to escape the heat - as long as you don't go too deep.
I'm from the UK and didn't learn till I was about twelve. To be fair, that was really unusual though.
I absolutely would. If it were a realistic option I'd mine my family to somewhere like Scotland, Iceland, Norway or Canada to get away from the unpleasantly hot summers we have here (relatively speaking - most people would probably not find it that hot.)
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure my wife would happily move to the Mediterranean for more heat...
Oh yeah - rationally I know I've got it backwards. It's definitely the size.
I definitely prefer parliamentary. As a Brit, though, I might be biased.
The power of the president largely lies in their support in the legislature anyway. If they have good support then they are too powerful (imho), if they don't then they're too weak.
The parliamentary system also has problems, of course, but, on balance, I much prefer it. I think the President tends to get far too much media focus as well; which, in turn, gives the impression that they're more powerful/influential than they are.
I'm not sure the main criticism of league is 5 tackle - kick, so much as they've stripped out most of the interesting contests in the game. It's the battles within the battle that make Union so interesting imho.
I do think, however, that reducing subs is a good idea and I think it would probably have the safety benefit you mention. Personally I'd like to see a trial of no tactical subs at all
I know that l the argument against that is that coaches will fake injuries to make substitutions. They probably will, but not often. You just have to see what happened to Dean Richards after trying to game the blood subs laws to see that, if enforced properly, it will rarely be worth the risk. If we saw multiple subs every game for apparent "injuries" and all around the same point in the game WR would have to act.
I suspect that most coaches would only very rarely use a game injury in extreme circumstances because of this risk.
Of course, if WR applies the level of enforcement that we've seen for things like, for example, straight scrum feeds or hooking in the scrum then if it would all just be a joke.
I have a FP3 and I've been hugely disappointed with it. The fact that it's repairable is only useful if the specs of the hardware are good enough to also last several years at a reasonable level of performance.
Also, some of the parts are rubbish - the prime example being the fingerprint sensor which always requires several attempts and then fails as often as not.
I knew I was getting a "budget" phone and I do still use it, but I had hoped it would be a better than it is. I feel like their business model is a huge missed opportunity in terms of upgrades and modularity. In theory, if they were doing it properly, why would they ever release a new model?
This is the strange thing about Australia. If I ever went there I wouldn't be at all concerned about meeting a black widow or those ones with the red stripe on their backs. In fact, if be interested. Respectful and careful, but interested.
If I meet one of these, however, if run screaming. And if I encountered that nest is have to burn the house down!
I've tried these and it didn't work. Also the battery ran out very quickly - even expensive ones.
