It’s not that simple. In practice, once a legislation passes through parliament, only another act of parliament can reverse it. Our Supreme Court is not like it’s USA counterpart.

The key word there is convention. It doesn’t carry legal weight. The government has a 80 seat majority to force the Internal Market Bill through the commons and potentially new legislation to deal with a non-compliant Lords. Which let’s not forget is an unelected house. The Lords can only defer...

I don’t like Trump, but I think he’ll win.

That was the impression we got too, initially. Then talk of these stages and possibility of getting back to rugby by end of October, early November. With tightening restrictions, I’d be very surprised if that were to happen. I’m grateful my body has recovered from all the little injuries I...

Fuck you hahahahahaha. You have a point, I literally haven’t downed a pint since before lockdown and the season wound down!

The lower levels of rugby are still two stages away from return back to playing. At a minimum, and best case scenario, rugby won’t be returning until November for me. Positives: opportunity to get stronger and fitter, and of course watch the Cov games on Saturdays. Negatives: we all just...

Testosterone levels are measured in contact sports, such as MMA. I’m asthmatic, and even the levels of of the steroids in inhalers are measured in some sports testing. The most notable example I can recently think of is Froome’s test. Athletes even need to be careful buying (legal)...

The issue regarding trans-participation is a dicey issue. Some issues to consider: - biological males have denser bones than females - puberty increases the upper body strength in biological males (one study found the average female could throw a ball further than a male about 2 times in 1,000)...

When you bear in mind Brentford paid £10m for Toney, it’s probably a ‘fair’ price for Watkins. It is an inflated price, but the market has been inflated for a long while now.

Probably need another winger now JJ is injured.

Such a shame. Just as he earned a new contract too. If the club is willing to use the ‘best surgeon in Europe’, then there’s a glimmer of hope for him that we will look to keep to him on. He was looking good in pre-season too.

I’m encouraged by what was said about us in this preview. It’s nice to be a team who pundits are positive about us as a club and the recruitment strategy we have. An interesting point he made was about replacing Walsh with Hamer. That, given we’re likely to see less of the ball than last...

COVID is all part of the SISU master plan to obtain the RICOH...

I imagine they take all the cut because they give the clubs money for the televised game? In theory, I’d love to but this off of the club’s website instead. That’s why I’m going to buy all the match passes on our website, now we actually know we can buy it from our website!

Good update. It’s good to see the club are doing reasonably ‘well’ commercially in the current climate.

Yes, I’ve bought a few Sky Sports 24hr passes a few times over the recent seasons on Now TV. I’m sure there’ll be decent streams on the internet, but for the sake of £10, we can watch the games uninterrupted by inevitable lags and buffering.

Said a few week back I think they’ll implode. They’ve had a fire sale. But, have they signed anyone decent?

Agreed! Happy to low ball us so I’m not disappointed if we’re scrapping for survival until the last day!

What does just survive actually mean? 21st to...? Being pragmatic, I think we’ll finish somewhere between 17th and 21st.

Isn’t Number 3 in the line up Marosi?
