Low cost index fund. Over a 20 year period almost nobody is better off in the stockmarket.

Twas ever thus - at least in my lifetime. I long since concluded that the American religious right are to religion as GB news are to news

Almost nobody in the world who could have taken that catch. Many 15's wouldn't even have been able to get close enough to knock it on.

What about Jean Kleyn?

Eoin Reddan is a good example. Mike Ross and Birch are two others that sort of meet your definition. Suspect that there are a number of Irish from the early years of professionalism.

If you have any teenage male relatives they'll make short work of it for you.

He will have been just asking questions or something like that.

There was a point around about when Hogg was in the team that such accusations might semi-legitimately have been leveled but now it's shit stoked by a couple of podcasters. Mostly it mildly amusing that a team that are clearly good enough to beat us somehow haven't in such a long time.

Sounds like Glasgow had a good night. Hope you enjoyed it.

Should be in his prime and he has probably fallen behind JJ and TOB in the depth chart. He's still valuable to Leinster but I can see why he'd be attracted to Connacht.

Is Larmour not heading to Connacht or were they just rumours?

Probably biased by how he played against France.

Townsend is a good to excellent coach. There are better coaches but it's only worth firing him if there's a better one available.

What's Glasgow' record against Leinster. Didn't they lose by 50 points without scoring in the European cup last year and even more a year or two before that?

To be fair to Scotland they really showed up today. They have put everything into it.

I'm pretty sure that you know data better than this Iain. It's an indicator of something interesting that's worthy of investigation. It's not really evidence from which conclusions can be drawn.

Got to be happy with that. He's one of the best at the moment.

'Simplistic' feels generous tbh. We used to say such things in Ireland in the 90's.

On the plus side we don't get fewer preparations days.

After coming up with loads of errors first of course.

Tried chatgpt and it came up with WP Nel which looks correct.

Well I got that one wrong left, right and centre didn't I!

Thought it was an interesting question so did some googling. Looks like it's Jerome Thion. Also it seems that JGP was actually 27 which means that Bundee and CJ were older when making their debut for Ireland.

That would be Scott Robinson

Far too many miracle pass attempts though.

Decent summary

France's record at Murrayfield is mixed. They have won 3 of the last 8 but only once by more than a score.

France haven't been put under any pressure so far. I think that they'll probably pass the test but it'll be interesting to see how they respond should they be punched in the proverbial face.

I'm not sure if this applies in your granddaughters case but it's completely rational to be pro comprehensive and still want your child to go to a grammar school particularly if you're in a selective area.

England should always be favourites until Italy actually beat them. This should be a genuine contest though and Italy have matured considerably as a team over the past 2 years. They won't panic if they're in front.

Trickle down education?
