Is Prince Charles on the search for a new daughter-in-law? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51211853

@mikey07 Ili has only been named in the Rebels "A" team. I'd be surprised if he makes the SR squad; WTG at best. I don't know Ili's contract status with the Hawke's Bay RU, but I doubt being a member of the Rebels WTG will stop him from returning. Having said that, as long as McClutchie, Falcon, Toala and Makene are all fit and the 10/12/15 positions are covered, he'll see little game time for the Magpies if he stays. Maybe he wants to move on.

@Davesofthunder said in SA S15 Conference 2020: Any good summaries on the South African conference as we get closer? Keen to get a better grip on how those teams are stacking up after all the changes for 2020 I am biased but on paper the Stormers should do well specially with the pack (Kolisi, PSdT, Malherbe, Bongi, Kitshoff) and exciting Herschel Jantjies and Damian Willemse. They havent lost that many players like the others and have better depth compare to the others. The Sharks have a very good backline (Andre Esterhuizen and Am in midfield, and a back three of Mapimpi, Nkosi and Aphelele Fassi.). Lions have a very young but talented squad, Bulls will there or there about. Jaquares will also be strong. Not sure about the Jacquares.

Ruck's stats are typical stats - lies, damm lies, abd statistics.

Bobby Knuckles sidelined because he donated bone marrow to his daughter

@taniwharugby said in Science!: @voodoo good point! should we start a thread with a poll to determine which poster should be our Prophet, and we will let him or her tell us how it all started? You called?

@TeWaio I've also never got the rage. Certainly wasn't a thing when I played. Must be an "empty stats grabbing" I assume.

Terry Jones: Monty Python star dies aged 77 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-51209197 Dementia, a rare form. Hits close to home. Very sad. Rest In Peace, Terry.

They changed the picture , it was originally this soyboy I'm pretty sure soy boy is gay so it's not surprising he has lower levels of testosterone than your average male Pretty sure???!!

@OomPB surely he won't make the plane.

@raznomore Or as its' known in the NRL, Friday.

From the article below: ... fullback David Havili will captain the side in his first pre-season appearance, and will finish the match at second-five eighth as the Crusaders test combinations. Openside flanker Billy Harmon picked up a medial ligament strain last week against the Hurricanes and is expected to be sidelined for four-six weeks. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/118953369/super-rugby-crusaders-miss-mitch-hunt-as-onus-goes-on-brett-cameron

Supposedly if you dispute that there's a debt at all, they can't collect without a court order or similar. All a bit messy - I went to university 1998 so had the full whack of interest and can relate. Not sure what the answer is, because it's a loan and to be repaid, but the lender can literally change the law around the obligations after the loan was made, can arrest for default, take from wages etc, and it's only wiped by death or bankruptcy, where other unsecured loans are also wiped by No Asset Procedures, so it's not exactly a standard loan.

@Steven-Harris turns out he's a cousin of a good friend of mine, small world.

@Machpants glad I'm not the only one
