Whatever cocktail of drugs she's on might just cure the world. 😂
honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph.
They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different

Swansea RFC board claim they've had no contact from the WRU or Y11 over their plan to merge them with the Ospreys at the end of next season.

"To be absolutely clear, this is the first time the Board has been made aware of any such proposal. We are unanimous in our opposition to the suggestion."
Also worth noting that the WRU's plan is for the Ospreys is to merge with Swansea RFC in Super Rygbi Cymru after next season, so they can act like they haven't destroyed the club.

For fans of other Welsh teams, I would be very wary of them establishing this as something that is allowed to happen.
Swansea Council have launched legal action against the WRU claiming "anti-competitive and unlawful" conduct by the union and claiming the decision to make Y11 Cardiff's preferred bidder was a "clear conflict of interest".

I'm so fucking tired of all this.

Not content with taking Jared McCain away, Daryl Morey just had to tear six in six out of our dead, bloody Sixers hands, didn't he?

One week after rupturing her ACL, Lindsay Vonn has completed her first Olympic training run at 1:40:33. Resilience or insanity? Still remains to be seen. 😂

Those dominant tackles, tackle turnovers and offloads allowed also tell a story. France could always set the terms with their defence so even when Ireland tried to go multiphase they didn’t get much purchase.

It's Waitangi Day but rather than have the day off, I've been crunching the numbers on women coaching rugby.

And sorry to say, last year things got worse.

Are we ready to intervene yet? When we are, I've got a list of targets ready to go.
