Always remember it's just sport, not real life.

Thoughts arrive like butterflies 🙌
There’s a technical working group running this and they are from a variety of experts and stakeholders.
The trial is also aimed at newcomers to the sport as well as those already within the game. I agree with Tim. Definitely worth a go.

The only person who’s ever intimidated an entire military of a million was a blue pyromaniac who walked around in budge smugglers, being an aloof smart arse.

Adult women’s cricket uses a smaller ball than the men’s adult game while Football doesn’t. Scaling the ball for women’s rugby would have same reasoning as cricket behind it.
More on the handling side of things than the boot, I would say.
Size difference isn’t massive either.

Okay then, with that in mind, I’ll start with this utter fucking legend, the queen of Ireland.
And will then request no more suggestions as this is who it should be full stop.

I recommend this, as well as Miguel Delaney’s book on sportswashing in football, States of Play.

Sure sure…

Variety was always dross on paper but here are 100 other reasons to firmly keep it in the u-bend where it belongs.
The ranking is funnier than most of the movies on the list.

A movie that takes place where you’re from?

‘Barry Lyndon’ filmed at Carton House, and ‘The Big Red One’ filmed at Castletown House.

Yesterday’s game was bananas.
Even more so than NSW v B&I Lions in 2001.

I’d say the TZ was great fun. Would have loved to have done it.

Middle session on day 3 of the first Ashes test in Perth.

Travis Head wondering just what the f**k he’s going to do for the remaining three days of the first Ashes test.

When someone says “They’re not a very strong NZ side”…

I will get a 0% again one day, oh yes, I will.

Will be interested to see what the Oliver Brown 'expert' says about the first Ashes test. Will he blame England's 'foreign players'?

Uncle Neil is coming to Muzzer.
Hotel booked.
Tix presale Monday.
After that pandemic malarkey, I’m never taking a gig for granted ever again.

Did a little subbing on a pal’s review of a documentary called ‘Thoughts and Prayers’, which is about the mass shooter preparedness industry that has grown out of the absolute shitshow Americans just refuse to tackle in the form of gun violence.
It was depressing, to say the least.

I love this Billy Idol’s.

And so it begins.
Gotta love #TheAshes. Being in WA, we get to see at least one sesh in the morning.
England (and allegedly Wales) haven’t won there since 2010.
3 more series there and they haven’t won a test.
Here’s to a great series and all that, but I hope they’re whalloped yet again.

It sucks. Y’know yourself. The unexpected triggers.
Mum was a massive rugby fan. We were about to get 10 yr tickets beside each other finally. She bought a lovely house in Rosslare near our mobile that she never saw the final job on, cancer was that rapid.

As she said, make hay when sun shines.

Thanks a mill, Neil.

Our little champion’s 11th birthday tomorrow. Sadly my Mum isn’t around to put the giant spread on for it she used to.
School is closed for day too, so maybe our favourite Zoo to ourselves also 😎

As opposed to a certain roly poly all-rounder using a coin to prise up the seam?
Or even this…?
No different. Cheeky cheats. All of them. Something other than persistence has to beat those tight margins.
November 20, 2025 at 7:34 PM
Wasn’t wrong, was I?
November 19, 2025 at 9:57 PM
I nearly coughed a lung up laughing at this.
Whoever did it, bravo 👏🤣

And this kid later plays a 9/11 hijacker in Paul Greengrass’ United 93.
