Thorburn definitely has massive ‘Reform UK councillor’ vibes about him.

I’ve never read The Lord of the Rings or seen any of the movies and I have zero interest in doing so. Same with Harry Potter.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Sound advice for every club on the planet: “don’t pull a Dragons.”

Tinus was in the pocket. It was lined up on a couple of occasions. It goes back to rugby intelligence again. It’s why they can’t win a game for love nor money. Own worst enemies.

It actually was a good performance to be fair. Stayed in the fight and conditions were fucking horrendous. The lack of rugby intelligence denied them the win and that’s the problem with Dragons. Low rugby IQ.

I can’t stop watching this.

It’s the most Dragons-y thing I ever seen and believe me I’ve seen many Dragons-y things. Paea was having a stormer as well 😭

Dunno. I’m not really surprised he’s gone. Just think the timing is odd.

Peculiar timing.

Diamond should have been let go the moment Red Bull came in if they didn’t feel he was the right guy to take them forward. Could also argue he deserved at least a full season under the new owners.

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isn’t.

There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farage’s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there.

BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK.

We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.
