Games v T2 opposition since the last men's World Cup:
England- 1
Wales- 1
France- 1
Ireland- 3
Italy- 3
Scotland- 9
Scotland have played the same number of games v T2 opposition as the rest of the Six Nations put together.

Both things can be true: There's not nearly enough games between T1 and T2 teams, and Scotland play way too many.

2031 Rugby World Cup host city applicants announced!
Here's their likely stadiums capacity for hosting...
World Rugby is going *very* big for this, there's ample room to faceplant with empty stadiums, but also ample room to utterly smash some attendance records, and crucially win financially.

@mazmcm.bsky.social why are Pau top of the table despite being on equal points with Toulouse, but Toulouse have more points difference and more points for and fewer points against?
Is there some french logic I can't understand?

For international tournaments, rugby is ~by far~ the second most popular sport by total and average attendances
The 6 Nations and Rugby Championship are uniquely appealing for small team comps, the women's RWC is in the top 20 biggest international sports comps, and the men's is getting bigger!

Half time at the first leg for the final spot at the 2027 Rugby World Cup repechage and Paraguay have been brilliant, two costly interceptions give Brazil the lead, but definitely have a watch if you want to catch a fun game!
Paraguay winning up front, esp the scrum

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax?
The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.
