Just before leaving the UK I purchased a WiFi mesh set up for our house in NZ and it arrived with the movers last week.
Sooooo much better than using an extender.
Used to have to switch networks between lounge and bedroom with devices automatically deciding to use a stronger (but slower) 2.4 over the 5. Just irritating to have to manually change.
Now with only two mesh units the whole property runs on a strong fast 5 subnet with devices automatically moving between units as needed.
Really recommend if you have dead spots or are setting up smart house stuff like lights/plugs/locks etc
Had to solve the puzzle of getting Sonos controllers working but worked out that as Sonos creates its own subnet I needed to have either one of each connected by Ethernet or cable one Sonos speaker direct to a mesh unit. Apart from that it’s brilliant and cheaper than a high powered router.

What brand did you go for. I’m using an extender at the moment, but it’s creaking under the weight of all the devices we use.

tp-link deco

Got just this two pack to try and it is ample for my needs. Our house has a bit of an l shape and I am jumping across the angle. I didn’t know if that plan would work so went for the deco as they have plenty of different repeaters that all work together. If I needed more I could have just ordered whatever was best price back here and added it on.
Apparently they “copy” the concept that companies like Sonos came up with whereby every unit in the subnet talks to each other.

Or just tell them that although they might have decided to win the game, the way they will do it will need to be agreed on in the House of Commons.

Is that when BBBR somehow managed to free the ball from a tackle with two Irish lying on top and holding on tight?

@Chris-B I thought Peyper for our semi as well. Don't want to think about the Final yet.

Nobody should be thinking about the final yet. Particularly Kiwis.

Nah! I'm taking a positive approach. I can't even countenance a loss to the poms, so it simply won't happen.

As long as the players and coaches don't look too far ahead, of course.

Attack at Farrell - he is bound to make a shoulder tackle eventually

Here's an idea. Start with Crotty as you know he won't last long before breaking anyway, then instruct him to run head first at Farrell's shoulder.
The ultimate sacrifice.

@Chris-B I expect BB would have worn the 10 jersey too with D-Mac about.

I noticed Ireland trying to pull a similar trick the England’s one at Twickers by reversing direction and catching the 15 out of position. BB got just as sucked in as DMac did but luckily the Irish screwed up getting the ball wide.

@voodoo not sure why people think kickers will have a problem. For conversions you take the ball back to a comfortable angle anyway.
Cost of replacing goalposts wouldn’t be popular though if going NFL style.
Just dig the holes 300mm back and leave the laws as they are.

Just an adjustment for them. I reckon fair bit of muscle memory gets built up over years of kicking from different spots

But yeah, not a massive deal. I'm also fine with moving the pads back.

For conversions you simply walk back to where it looks comfortable given the conditions e.g. wind, rain, turf and whether there is a fast chaser for charge downs. It could be different between kicks let alone games. The muscle memory is only in the kicking action and is why many kickers only have one strength of hit and the ball goes way past the goalposts for close kicks.

Is Johnson still trading off eavesdropping on the Lions line out calls?
