    Smoking

    Why 'appart from smokers'? You are limiting the audience only to those who most likely will agree with your position... You could also add the people who couldn't are less. Yes, I am. Non-smokers are not 'somehow denying'. They are specifically and explicitly doing so. That is why...

    Smoking

    I dont, but i find it ridiculous that if some people do, and if there is someone who would like to provide that willingly and freely, he is now unable to do so. What I find amazing is that it's not that people were saying 'Hey, listen, I don't like the smoke and I would like a smoke-free...

    Smoking

    Jesus ncurd, you stole my words and somehow managed to post em earlier. Damn you. Broadly speaking I agree with that. I can think of a couple of scenarios where I would limit it thou. If someone comes with a broken leg i'd like him to be treated. If a professional skateboarder comes for the...

    Smoking

    By the same standard if someone breaks an ankle because he is too fat and he doesn't exercise, or not enough, then his ankle-related problems should be treated privately. Or if someone has eyesight issues because he spends too much time staring at a screen. Everyone could do something more to...

    MMA/UFC thread

    Olyy's right. I didnt mean too late for it to happen. I mean too late for it to be interesting. I was thinking of fights that didn't happen or happened too late in combat sports. GSP vs Silva, Mayweather vs Pacquiao, Fedor v Couture, Khabib vs Ferguson, Ngannou vs Jones, give Aldo a second shot...

    MMA/UFC thread

    Very entertaining fights but i dont get Gaethje. He has no plan B. I get his plan A: He can use his wrestling to avoid takedowns and can outstrike most (if not all) the guys with grappling backgrounds. The problem is that that is too one-dimensional and predictable. When he faces someone who can...

    Should substitutions be banned.

    That was my instinctive reaction the first time I heard about this but after talking to people who know more about this than I do I am not sure anymore. Hard to tell. You would have several things going on, most of them moving the needle in different directions. Would players get exhausted or...

    Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Round of 16

    Agreed He seemed happy with the Leinster's player letting the ball go after he'd already disrupted Leicester's ruck speed. Not sure it would have made any difference tho, but still.

    Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Round of 16

    Prolly just me but wasn't Leinster's last pass leading to the try a bit forward? Surprised they didn't even check.

    Super Rugby Pacific (2024)

    Saders 0-4. Jesus Christ. I guess they are about to become rugby's man u. I wonder what were the betting odds of them losing 4 in a row before the season started.

    Bien nene!! Felicitaciones. Cardio is king! THE #1 skill. Regarding the practicing thingie, start with the basics. Passing; I assume you don't have a practice partner (if you do, just trot and pass the ball to each other, endlessly). You'll need a wall. Draw a circle, aim and shoot. That's...

    [2024 Six Nations] Wales vs France - 10/03/24

    Not that there is a causal relationship but i'm retty sure the blue in France's flag has changed too.

    Converting from 7 to wing and not sure what boots to purchase...

    I understand where you are coming from but my advice would be not to overthink it. Although boot sizes are somewhat standardized different boots/brands have slightly different lasts (shapes). Looking just at weight might be misleading in the sense that sometimes you could end up giving up other...

    Please Answer This One Poll Question

    I voted no but a not-so-thorough psychological analysis might say otherwise. I don't know but again, my gut says no. I suppose I am a bit older than you. Half the things that today are considered "issues" or "problems" were non-issues back in the day. The way things like bullying, teasing, or...

    SVNS

    People were talking about this on tw the other day. Guy is a freak. No question about it. If i remember correctly BOD gave sevens a try (albeit after his prime) and didn't do that well. So did Bryan Habana. Of course they were ok but it's not as if they instantly took their teasm to a new...

    SVNS

    We made a few very, very stupid and costly mistakes (isgro's YC) but did you see Args second yellow card? Or Ireland's last try (foot on touch?)? Unlucky at the very least. It is (almost) impossible after that. We were in complete control of the game, 5 mins to go, 9 points ahead, against an...

    Ireland are relatively new to this. Didn't they join the series in 2019 or thereabouts? Give them time. Most teams have been doing this for a bit longer. I remember asking myself around that time how were Scotland and Wales able to field 7 teams while Ireland didn't. Now you guys are...

    I guess i could sum it up in three things: 1- A coach with a long-term plan (incredibly rare in 7s). Look at things like restarts or tries from fixed formations. That reveals there is a very clear intention behind calls and that things have been practiced ad nauseam. Look at how the players...

    Buenas! Mira, te soy sincero, cada club es un mundito y la verdad que no conozco las internas de cada uno. Si me decis zona sur lo primero que se me viene a la cabeza es Lomas (athletic), pucara, san albano (este ultimo no recuerdo si es para ex alumnos o algo asi). La urba tiene (o tenia) una...
