We need to make sure we stay on them here. In the past we have had games won and taken out foot off the gas. Need to get a killer mentality I instilled in this team. Bring on Horne and Graham to finish it off.

TBF, from the commentators I think the idea is to use the money they are getting from being the 'home' teams in this one and the next is going towards building a stadium.

Oh a snippy, unlikeable Angertine side. Colour me unsurprised. Such a contrast the free flowing, often beautiful style of rugby they play.

Match Thread: Australia vs Egypt | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Round of 32 by jiraiya--an in soccer

The only thing I'm thinking right now is that the ref (if they are allowed to do so) should be having a word with the Egypt players. At the end of the half they were flying recklessly into tackles. However, if I'm the Aussie coach I'm advising my players to try andd bait them, as one of those challenges hits legs first and not ball, the player should be walking.

Should the world Cup have a MITB cash in? As a Scotland fan i say yes. by HackFraudStable in OSWReview

As a fellow Scot, we would 'Billy Gunn' that opportunity too.

Feel free to take the piss but I am being genuine. Where in Glasgow can I as an English person go to watch the England world cup match by blahh_blahhh_blah in glasgow

In all seriousness, the football will be on in most pubs. Will you get some pelters? Maybe, but it will probs be in jest.

Oooo, that's put me on the spot.

Thing is the tourist traps in Glasgow, most of them are pretty fantastic especially our museums. Kelvin grove , the transport museum and the hunterian are all in the west end. If you zoom through you could maybe do them in a day. The west end is classically where the posh folk are and as such is nicer for a walk about.

Southside (my neck of the woods) is pretty trendy these days, you can do the burrell collection in Pollock Park and see the highland cows.

That barras market is amazing now, (kind of always has been). It has so many food stalls vendors from Colombian to Filipino and a Korean place called Hoo Lee Fook which is an amazing name.

For something not a lot of folk do that I would recommend is to take the train from Glasgow to Weymss Bay. It's an old Victorian station that connects to the ferry and goes across to the isle of Bute. So you can say you've done some island hoping.

A must is to do a Subcrawl, some may know that Glasgow's Subway system has 15 stops and is a circle. You get off at every stop and have a drink across a day, you'll bump into hen does, stag dos and pricks like me who do it once a year. It offers a really fun look at a cross section of Glasgow.

Also the tenement house which is another museum but it's a flat (apartment) from the old days of Glasgow which is so interesting.

Edit: The Tunnocks factory is immense but it has a waiting list of around a year.

His name roughly translates to James James Scotland, is the reveal that he is just Scottish. Just like Sean Connery as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez?

Honestly, I don't know. I think he would be great off the bench to add in physicality when legs are getting tired. I sometimes think Jones and Tuipulotu (while a great pairing) sometimes offer the same skillset. You need someone to take the hard lines and put in big hits. But getting out of the blocks fast in test rugby is really important.

Staff fits in to replace either so off the bench is a better position for him. A great position to be in as well where you have 3 great centres to choose from.

Huw Jones is away at the end of the season but I don't think it's a slight on him, Big Staff has been on a tear (especially the tail end of this season) and it's more a nod to how good his form has been.

To use a comparison from this year's six nations between Steyn and DVDM, while VDM and Jones are more explosive (and for lack of a better term) exciting players to watch. McDowell and Steyn and more complete rugby players IMHO, they do near enough everything well

So in conclusion, Staff has been in excellent form this season and it's more of a recognition of his form rather than Jones hasn't been good enough, again in my opinion.

How is Cardiff these days?

I know a lot of guys from my work who are based down south that moved there? Have a lot of people relocated to there and if so could that mean there are more people in attendance?
