Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Rugby is a game of new ideas. Yet right now, one team stands head and shoulders above all others in those stakes, and is being ignored. One team playing the game as it will be in fifteen years' time. We dig into who it is, and why they're so ahead of the game...

The ONLY reason people hate on cargo shorts is they are jealous of the unprecedented storage efficiency. Shorts you can store a whole meal in. Impossible to argue against in good faith

Among many depressing elements of the WRU's likely "optimal solution" is that they will still spend less per club than the Scottish Rugby Union.
And yet they still believe that their extremely centralised new system will allow Welsh rugby to outperform its better-resourced competitors.
