The Breakdown | South American rugby success stories propel men's World Cup qualifying

Los Condores are in the finals again and subplots abound going into next month’s Dubai qualification tournament While many fans in the UK ponder the early-season fortunes of their clubs, or perhaps debate selection for the imminent autumn internationals, the qualifying battle for the 2027 Rugby World Cup rages on. Chile sealed their second consecutive appearance at the tournament with a sensational playoff win against Samoa last month, leaving a single spot to be won for Australia in two years’ time. On Saturday Paraguay stunned Brazil 39-19 in the first leg of their playoff. The second leg takes place this Saturday in Jacareí, near São Paulo, as Brazil’s men attempt to emulate the women and qualify for the first time. Continue reading...

What if instead of yet another contractor we have some grouping of people.

Perhaps we could call a collection and the collection would have people who look after the area you know sweep the streets, tend to the plants etc.

Too radical?

Why has some of the greenery in city planters been left to wither? The council hasn’t been able to find a contractor willing to take on the job of looking after these plants, a council official says.

I remain a bit ambivalent on Catherine Connolly as a Presidential candidate, though less so than her unimpressive opponent.

But the latest bit, where voting No to various EU treaties is treated as a shocking break with norms is particularly stupid.

These were majority positions, more than once.

He's been known in political circles as AK47 for years. I've no idea why he's still in labour. Seems like he forgot to quit years ago and they forgot to kick him out

Growing up, the main bus in my town was every 10 minutes and always packed. I didn't worry about timetables I just left the house and knew it would be there. Now it's every half hour and completely deserted. This is no coincidence. Fund buses properly and people will use them.

"While speaking to reporters in Co Tipperary on Friday, Ms Connolly was asked if she was winning over Mr Kelly’s support.

She said: “I’ll leave Alan Kelly to deal with Alan Kelly. That’s a full-time job perhaps.”

She may have a point.
