A president would just be replacing one figurehead with another even if elected.

Not available in this country Loz. Where are you?

Is it not the case that money dished out to the regions is done based on some formula? Meaning if NI gets so much Wales, Scotland and maybe one or other areas have to get a payout too and in each case larger than what NI gets.

Next game tomorrow v Hurricanes

Staying in the single market means accepting FOM. Access to it is something else.

Just noticed it was 2 points correct prediction in the Test Match. The Round The Scoreboard

Great match. Well the 1st fifty minutes anyway. I thought the Lions were less than equal in the forwards so any changes may come there for the 2nd test. I don't think AWJ will be selected ahead of MI. I can see Henderson making the 23 at least. I also suspect Best is in with a chance as Stephen Ferris brought up on the TV. Maybe SW will be picked ahead of POM. Any thoughts on changes?

...and you haven't answered my question in the Brexit thread.

Next fixture is the 1st Test on Saturday at the usual 8.35am k.o.

There's a programme on BBC2 @ 9 tonight called Brexit Means Brexit. Filmed over the last year. Might be worth watching or recording.

The Queen's Speech today. I wonder what she will talk about. Still no agreement with the DUP. http://www.politics.co.uk/comment-analysis/2017/06/19/the-tories-can-govern-without-the-dup-just

I'm missing the context here. Please enlighten me as I'm unfamiliar with your description.

After 6 Rounds........ Scores Leaderboard

I will take me a while to catch up on all of these but thanks everyone so far.

Linfield v Celtic on the 11/12th of July. If Linfield overcome their San Marino opponents police would like this potential fixture played on the 11th.........to minimise trouble. If they want to do it properly why not go down the the Boyne for a few hours?

Well I'm looking forward to listening to the suggestions Jah. How about one from you?

The only thing about Rory Best which has probably cost him a place is that his line out throwing sometimes lets him down.

Next match V The Chiefs tomorrow morning.

I really liked that Red. Good guess. Never heard it before.

Listened to that and it sounded 30+ years old. Had to Google the band and song. Not sure if it's Black Sabbath it reminds me of. Taste in music is subjective so will listen to it again. Initial impressions were the vocalist can't sing. But thanks for the suggestion. Any more?

From the above team I reckon 1/2penny should be in. Good defensively and top goalkicker. Watson to the wing along with Daly. No place for North or Williams.Itoje with Kruis in the 2nd row. George as hooker. Will Gatland include Sexton? I'd like to see that with Farrell in the centre with Davies. That's 5 changes from the above team I think.

Interesting article in the Observer today. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jun/18/brexiters-vote-poverty-even-worse-than-austerity
