Here are a few strategies to consider:

What’s Stu got in his right hand?

The people who select images for articles on Rugbypass like having a good laugh.

The sums of money and value of crypto assets being separated from their rightful owners is, frankly, bewildering.

Now I have always known there are some idiots on this here platform. Finn and Turlough the leading morons. But wow the floodgates have opened.

Rugbypass must take a good long look at themselves and wonder - why are all these fools congregating here?

Is it the quality of the articles? Is it a full moon?

Oh wait. I see now. I selected the northern edition… no wonder.

What happened to Jezebel’s daughter?

Is Wayne Barnes Jezebel’s daughter?

I wish we could get closure.

On the other hand IRFU RELEASED RINGROSE FOR THE CARDIFF MATCH. They provided documentation to prove it.

The bigger issue for me is why NTK was in the 3 ban category and not the 6 ban.

The Welsh doctor gave evidence that Thomas sufferred a fractured nose. yet teh report concluded ‘no injury’ allowing NTK escape the bigger punishment.

Predictions (gave up gambling 29 years ago, long story):

France

Scotland

England

all to win. Ireland to get losing bonus point and deny France a winning one. Scotland to get winning bonus point. Wales to lose by 10. England to score 45 points and Italy maybe 3 tries, could get 4 and a point. Hope not.

Italy to get wooden spoon. I have tickets for Wales v England and expect my attendance to be a big factor in the Welsh performance that match…

Last question: how do you write this stuff? It’s extraordinarily so up my street. Bless you.
