its fascinating, the other rugby forum i post on has the group of (im assuming frightened aging straight white dudes) who will explain away almost anything trump/musk/vance do...i feel thats the real TDS

rugby club over a beer....pretty universal condemnation
here....maybe not universal but definitely not in favour
at work around the water cooler....WTF are the doing

im convinced these guys are scared of a changing world and desperate to hold onto one they understood and were more relevant than others
