For those who are familiar, there's a few updates in each.

Either way make sure to check them out!

Yeah, fair. It's multilayered talking that does for me. Absolutely scrambles my brain, can't even try to start my task focus process.

Not knocking you at all, but noise cancelling earbuds are a godsend to those of us with sensory sensitivities.

And for those that play stuff loudly on public transport off the phone speaker? A pox on them.

I just wish the Squad Announcement Day ads didn't start in August. They've ruined the true meaning of it, so commercialised now.

I officially declare “Squad announcement day” open! . Let the infighting begin. Oh by the way, your man wasn’t chosen because of provincial bias.

Since the All Blacks have lost both Tuipulotu and Va’ai, Scott Barrett will be the only lock with more than 9 test caps.

Once played with this woman in college.

Watched as she kept telling people to go back. No further. Frantically waving for the team to retreat as I watched on from the goals confused.

Then she did it, and all confusion disappeared.

Not just a monster throw though, a great all rounder too.

Ireland seem to be the only country in rugby that are frustrated at having 2 top 10 flyhalves in the world at the same time.

This frustrating article is another example of Irish rugby pundits constantly saying that the IRFU somehow didn't do any long-term sucession planning for Sexton, when (as the article itself admits) multiple alternatives were in fact given an extended run and for various reasons haven't worked out.

Brendon doing savage work here.

Publicly available stats are like hen's teeth, and the detail here is unparalleled.

Get on it.

Eddie Jones has already denied that he's had any talks, only taking a moment between sentences to chug on an unnamed premium hypercaffinated drink, which he noted was the "best drink ever mate".

Translated….things aren’t going so well in Japan. I’ve burned every other bridge in rugby. I might need a coaching gig soon.
