Thanks so much mate. Appreciate it.

Think she has to organise her own but I’ll check. Thanks buddy.

Yeah. But she didn’t. 🤷‍♂️

No reason at all. That’s what makes me think it’s actually “denied untill we say otherwise…”

Yeah, I get that. Murica, land of the free and all that shite. But she’s a young lass trying to do something for her development
.

I believe it’s standard process. Deny first while checking… 🤷‍♂️

Hey folks. Question for anyone who has needed to get a US visa recently.

Close friends’ daughter has a place for Camp America and has just been to London to arrange a Visa. The application came back as ‘denied’ but they’ve taken her passport and want to check her social media.

Is this ‘normal’?

Silly unforced errors from Glasgow and also too many turnovers conceded. Fix those and they should be good in the 2nd half.

Ollivon done for offside. Stormers fans will be enjoying that one. 😉

@scotrugbypod.bsky.social telling like it is since 2017

Kinda writes itself!! 😂😂

SRU dropped the ball on marketing/customer service/social media presence/promoting the game/the womens’ game/management in general* Klaxon….


*Delete as appropriate.

I’m genuinely uncertain whether the “senior people”, politicians etc, are genuinely confused or deliberately misleading their own public about where each entity starts and ends.

The conflation of boundaries, treaties, international agreements, international law, etc. is mind blowing.

The narrative from the US right is deteriorating at an incredible rate of naughts, when we now have actual politicians spouting this shite on mainstream news channels.

And the (deliberate or ignorant?) conflation and confusion of EU/NATO/Europe/UN that the MAGA clowns are being fed is horrific.

Possibly, but given the Toulon pack and bench I suspect 6:2 was the right way to go for this one. Also seems to be Franco’s favoured strategy

The Edinburgh therapy session is open once again.

Would agree for a 5:3 split. But he probably doesn’t offer enough coverage in a 6:2.

Is Ben White rugby’s most competitive player? Toulon scrum half says his work ethic fuels his competitive nature as he aims to follow Scotland’s Six Nations success with Champions Cup silverware

Great little piece.

White’s record of 4 tries and 4 wins in 5 games against England since 2022 is probably *quite satisfying*

The pod is back tonight, let's have your Hands In The Ruck and 50:22 suggestions for our consideration

Had a similar experience in the Welsh valleys a few years back. Left 3 pubs in a row as the fighting kicked off!

Bloody hell!!

Really? I worked out there for a couple of short gigs and quite liked it.

Apart from it costing half your monthly salary and the soul of your firstborn for a beer, of course.

Mixed in that they gave it a good fight, but amazed that he still has a job?

I reckon it must be like being a Man U supporter back in the day.

Remember there’s no cure for it…

Think that’s fair. If you play against Glasgow like you did today, particularly on ‘our patch’ you’re likely to get battered.

😂.

To be fair, I love that guy.

Anyone who styles themselves as “The German comedy ambassador to the UK” is always getting my support!

Absolutely!! That’s a minimum wage problem. Right up there with Henning Wehn comment about charity in Germany.

"We don’t do charity in Germany. We pay taxes. Charity is a failure of government"

The US tipping system is right up there with their logic of “guns protect people”.

Tipping for good service should be encouraged. Tipping for shit service shouldn’t happen.

When an Hispanic taxi driver in NY asked me for a tip and I said “Turn the f*cking music down!”. It was not well received.

Exactly so. And any new coach coming in needs to be guaranteed some serious amounts of control (hiring, firing, etc) that I’m not sure the SRU will be willing to give.

I will, thanks. You too.

I’m a Glasgow fan and look forward to playing Sale in the Semis.
