Well....it is a game with some speed (certainly versus the BIL/BOK game last week!)..albeit a lot of errors from both teams early in the game.....we stuck with them for 50mins or so....and our physicality and execution in places is much improved on recent years, and believe it or not my English brethren, the Wallaby scrum is now a weapon, especially with our reserve THP on the park...but overall just not consistent enough against the AB's who just punish any errors or drops in intensity...

When you're totally made of stone quarried from a Welsh hillside, I don't think your face can twists to show joy, without it looking like a snarl or grimace....:)

Thanks Alan, appreciate the heads up!.....fortunatley, I have a mate who plays for a London club who managed to snag a couple of the wallabies game a few weeks ago.


Lets hope I can leave twickers happy for the first time since 2015....

Uruguay beat the USA yesterday to qualify for RWC2023. Chile beat Canada and will now face the US. The winner will qualify too. Good to see that the game is improving in South America.


Unfortunately for Uruguay, they will be in the same group as France and NZ.


Below is the 2nd leg. Uruguay trailed by 3 from the first.



 

It's a shame how backwards the game has gone im Canada since the start of professionalism.


They were probably on a par with the Pacific island nations 25 years ago. Now they're getting beaten by Chile.


As you say thoug Alan, the flip side of that is the development of the game in South America....

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
