    I know Wales trained at Sunbury (London Irish) Wales went home after Saturday and were in the cryo chambers (really) at 3:00 AM The crack cocaine of international rugby it seems :)

    Some analysis from Australia here http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/rwc-analysis-know-your-enemy/ Gethin Jenkins still has it if you believe that - 45 rucks hit. Beware England they think you're not as fit as you should be - I have heard England aimed to peak for the semi's - which could explain ?
  5. Well Corbyn is ready - shorts and flip flops on according to a recent tweet :)

It doesn't intimidate me - it sort of makes me give them a nice smile :)

    Cometh the hour, Cometh the Witch. Gavin Henson back in the mix allegedly http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/72471740/rugby-world-cup-2015-gavin-henson-and-gareth-anscombe-could-be-wildcard-world-cup-replacements-for-wales Edit: Of course Gavin could have started this rumour :)

Wales injury problems are critical now - Liam Williams got his head kicked like a football (accidentally). It's like some curse :) Scott Williams out, Hallam Amos out. A Fiji win is not a given

There is a business/regeneration case for OKR. But they should think about both if they promise or not promise at all. It's not Peckham - but Walworth road and Camberwell which could with something. But it's 2015 and we are talking about 2030 - we might have flying cars aka Back to the Future :)
  21. Yes Seems like a promise reneged on. I'd rather no line then if that's how they want it.

What happened to the commitment made by the mayor http://www.southwarklabour.co.uk/get-involved/extend-the-bakerloo.aspx http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/boris-johnson-bakerloo-line-extension-to-peckhams-time-has-come-8540510.html

    Burgess on Scott Williams "who's he" I'm sure Wales won't take offence :) Supposed to be said "Who's he then"
  24. If they go OKR - It'll get canned - no champions. But London could have entirely changed by 2030 - we may have an entirely different system anyway. Edit: saying 2030 now means 2040 after all the delays IMHO.
