Conservatisme is het probleem, en helaas hebben we daarvan in Nederland zelf al te veel in de "aanbieding".

We Dutch can be a little c*cky sometimes 😂. But I agree, Dutch tap water is ace quality as far as I know. Funny Spain scores higher, while almost every Dutch who go on holiday in Spain, refuses to drink the tap water (I can confirm though besides the taste, there's nothing wrong with Spanish water)

#Tibidabo #Barcelona

Sunset behind Barcelona mountains. On the right, on top of the mountain, the silhouette of Tibidabo is visible, more centered, a large antenna on a lower hill. Left of the center a square monastery tower, close distance and a little more to the left, the sun, just above the horizon.

My origin is from a non-rugby country (The Netherlands) but I'm a huge fan, and watch a lot of domestic rugby. Even though URC had many world-class players, the competition is missing attraction for me. The idea of adding USA teams isn't tempting imho
