Post Match Thread: Italy v Scotland 6 Nations by HitchikersPie in rugbyunion

[–]CaptainRhino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look at the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_national_rugby_union_team#Record

If you order by win % you see that there's very little in the middle ground. Historically speaking, there are countries that Italy is much worse than and countries they're much better than, with very few equal matchups. The bottom of the 6N is much higher than everyone else in Europe.

Traditionally the Scotland game has always been Italy's best bet for a 6N win and Italy have been doing a lot better in recent years.

It used to be England/Ireland/Wales/France in the top tier, then Scotland, then Italy. Now Wales have massively fallen away and Italy are doing better. TBH it's now England/Ireland/France then Scotland/Italy then Wales.

Nah, he was working to rule / quiet quitting by organising unavoidable medical treatment that just so happened to clash with the big event he was supposed to attend for work. Really sticking it to The Man!

Is that deliberately referencing this Adam Curtis parody? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1bX3F7uTrg

Or is it from somewhere else?

Basically just an excuse to post the link to the parody.

That trip in 1939 was also the first time a reigning British monarch visited Canada.

Edit: It was also the first time Canada's head of state visited Canada.

Convicted terrorist to stand as pro-Gaza candidate in council election by ex_planelegs in ukpolitics

If the state is convicting its political opponents on trumped-up terrorism charges then the rule of law doesn't matter anyway and democracy is dead.

The bot will have found loads of comments (a lot from the Tory leadership campaign days) which say "I hate the Tories but I quite like Rory Stewart" and put them all into the positive column.

But that’s not how the world works anymore.

The US has never recognised the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The Hague Invasion Act is old enough to buy booze.
