'shrooms - probably, cannabis - definitely. If nothing else, alcohol would have been being consumed before humanity left Africa (and almost certainly before humanity became "human"), whilst cannabis is Asian. I don't know about mushrooms, but I thought they were more European.

Largely because it's the oldest drug, and probably pre-dates modern humans; consequently is deeply embedded in every society. It's not that it's been made legal, it's never been made illegal (in most places). Along with cannabis & opium, it's also one of the few that can be made at home with...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/19/israel-attack-on-iran-idf-military-operation-us-officials-air-defences-latest-update-details-today Key points, bolded what I consider the most important bit: US officials have confirmed that Israel has carried out military operations against Iran...

He'll get a lot of game time - JvG actually seems to walk the walk on rotation for his front-line players. He also likes to have 2 backrowers on the bench :(

Personal opinion alert. Prohibition doesn't work, and just "doesn't work" but typically makes things far worse (hopefully the phased nature of this combats this aspect) Legalise it, regulate it, educate about it (including increased research), normalise it, tax it heavily; pour the money raised...

I doubt that he wants them to... Probably spent it all on hookers and blow - then couldn't pay the pimp...

It used to be an entire new EPS every September/October, with X replacements (6?) allowed ahead of the 6N and again ahead of the SIs. Injury replacements being freebees. Also, the head coach not technically limited to selecting from within the EPS for actual matches. But that was before Jones...

Not to mention years worth of everyone running a book on when Wasps would suffer a front row "injury" and have to go uncontested with 3 flankers and 1 prop. Hence the suggested 10 day stand down for any "injured" player to make a full recovery. The downside, of course, is players playing on...

We don't know contract lengths, and suspect that not all renewals get announced, so the following is mostly guess work. LHP Juan Schoeman / Arthur Cordwell - neither have been particularly impressive, but also neither are terrible. neither have signed a contract recently. Might lose one, might...

We had been interested in Smith too - so this is a step down from that hope. At Bath, he'll be fighting Schoeman to be 2nd choice specialist LHP; which yes, is likely to be 3rd choice actual LHP (assuming Schoeman has another year on his contract). I'd still rather Goodrick-Clarke, but not to be...

I'm sure I'm far from the only person surprised that it hasn't been illegal for at least 20 years.

Same. I will post my usual vote for the Police Commissioner of "This should be an appointment based on merit, not politics"

Redpath was seen wearing a surgical boot around town. Not seen any news of Finn or Ted ETA: Of course, 10 minutes after typing that, we release an injury update: https://www.bathrugby.com/content/bath-rugby-injury-update-round-15

I'm sure that will stop next year when all matches are televised.
