Thought it was mad England sacking Jones, and I was one of the people that maintained England had been underperforming for about 18 months. Couple of million quid buying out contracts just to get to where they would be right now anyways.

But sacking Rennie was absolutely batshit. If you look at the win % he wasn’t doing brilliantly, but a lot of those losses were very narrow, for eg single point (iirc) loss to France in Paris etc, and in circumstances that were less than ideal. The administrators basically YOLO’d it, and there should be heads rolling higher up imo.

Once took a recently turned three year old on a two hour flight without too much issue. Obvs at that age an extra year is a huge difference, but he was genuinely loving the take off and once you’re up it’s basically a big ol’ white noise machine. We had a tablet and books handy for him, though he still got restless towards then end

I imagine with yours being younger and the haul being longer it might be more problematic, but I would treat it like any other boring-for-kids situation. Books, activities, hey duggee on the tablet. Hopefully they’ll sleep at some point.

Other than that, just be aware that the people on the plane will be furiously twittering about parents and children and planes. But they’re probably cunts, so fuck ‘em.

The process of turning fruit into juice also often removes a lot of the good stuff we would be getting from that fruit. For example fibre. So the juice has the sugar (which isn’t in itself a reason to avoid fresh fruit) but little of the other good stuff.

Well that was a it fucking intense, wasn’t it?

There’s always the Pro D2. It’s been running all through, and invariably throws up plenty batshit nonsense

Whereas I did the same on the grounds that I had to get half of them right

Unable to vote from behind a VPN so will have to do that when I get home, but voting Fiji-Portugal. The Ireland - SA game was undoubtedly the “better” game and had potentially higher stakes, but the former was just loads of fun from a neutral pov.

Clearly I know nothing.

Italy tend to perform quite well against France , whether that’s cos a lot of them play their club rugby in the top 14 or neighbourly rivalry, I dunno. But that and France seeming to always play to the level of their opponents, I don’t see it being a walkover.

Genuinely bricking it for this one. Must win game, and Italy will be looking to bounce back from the dreadful showing against the ABs.

Odd one to watch there. Really wanted Georgia to win, so was cursing as Fiji got their tries. But it’s Fiji, innit. can’t not enjoy watching them.

Saw it was close, turned the telly on. Two minutes later the ABs have two further tries.

I’m a curse.
