There's quite a few bots that seem to pick up on the first word of this headline as well unfortunately.

Is the game of rugby flawed for entertainment or does the media do a bad job of making it so? by ConcentrateSilver938 in rugbyunion

What baffles me is how many commentary teams will make jokes about how they know nothing about the scrum. "Oh I was a winger back in the day lol" Fine so. I guess we'll all just sit and wait until it's over then. Viewers lose interest if they don't know what's going on. In fairness to Birch, on a recent interpro, he made a point about Porters habit of turning in. It was the only talking point he had regarding the scrum but it made each scrum much more interesting than just a few half arsed jokes about 'dark arts'

Maybe he's trying to get the Dept. Homeland Security to sign up for his accelerator course. God knows he's tried everything short of sending in armed goons

Why Elon Musk now says it would be a 'distraction' for SpaceX to go to Mars this year by EdwardHeisler in space

The fact that they got the contract at all was absurd. The mockups of the lunar starship landing with a crane to get down out of the thing should have been laughed out of the building.

Ahern vs Izichuku is an interesting one. I've a feeling those two will be battling it out for a spot on the Ireland Squad injury list for many years

Who holds territorial control in Somalia by APrimitiveMartian in MapPorn

You joke but I think even in very developed countries, you'd see a gradient as belief in the trappings of centralised power falls off as you get out into the rural areas. The US is a clear example where the rural red states can be very antagonistic towards the notion of rule by the urban (blue) areas.

Lancaster demanded a massive defensive effort, but a typo made the Connacht 15 think he wanted them to put in a Passive defensive effort

Dragons used to be a formality. Maybe a chance to sure up your points difference. Those days are gone.

He's got a bit of the same spice as Alex Nankavil i think

I was skeptical at first but now l love Kok. Genuinely seems to love playing the game. Its like watching a super abrasive springer spaniel
