Ugh, this sucks. I think the NSL would probably be better off a couple of teams leaner, but that doesn’t make this any less blech for the team, staff and supporters.

Yes overall this doesn't really harm the NSL. The West Midlands was the only region with two NSL teams. But it sucks for those directly affected.

Oooof, that really sucks

I don't know but I don't think so. I think it's too late for this season. Two professional rugby teams have folded this season: Worcester Warriors and Wasps. Both are in the West Midlands. Severn Stars are owned by the University of Worcester so luckily they're not affected by the rugby club going bust. Wasps Netball was owned by the rugby club and they haven't been saved. The good news is both of their women's rugby teams have been saved.

"Kennedy, the ex-wife of disgraced New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, told The Telegraph: 'They went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, that they couldn’t have structural racism within the institution; that they could not maintain a misunderstanding about mental health.'

Harry didn't question his family though did he. He said nothing, then went and told his wife. This is the exact opposite of moral courage.

So I’ll see you at the Kennedy Awards ceremony then? 😂

No. Harry and Meghan are twats. Any ceremony they attend can be considered illegitimate. If you want the world to know your award ceremony is meaningless or your charity is a scam, just invite Harry and Meghan.

Oh ok but King Phil is off limits. Ok sorry 😢

I don't think it's necessary to make fun of people who died fairly recently.

Champion should be yellow

Why?

Because it would signify a gold medal 🏅 and the colour of the trophy 🏆. Or you could use gold colour.

Or you're Herschel Walker - pro choice for yourself and anti choice for others

I don't know anything about him but that's a bad way to be imo. A good leader leads by setting an example for others to aspire to. A bad leader has a "do as I say not as I do attitude".

Short synopsis - He is an American republican politician running for Senator in Georgia which is a big deal. Dude used to be a football player, allegedly paid off two women for abortions, now running on pro life platform and supported by trump.

That is exactly what I am against. Support women, don't pay them off for abortions. No doubt he could have supported these women.

I dislike that Palestinians are being kicked out and oppressed. That’s what makes me dislike the ideology of Zionism as it seems that it doesn’t mind all the suffering that is being caused to Palestinians.

I don't think all Zionists support that. There are different wings within any political group. I don't even think you can call Zionism at ideology. Why wouldn't someone born is Israel want to stay where they were born and live. Why do you hate them? The only thing you hate about them is they are Jewish. If they were Palestinian you wouldn't hate them.

No I don’t hate Jews at all ! I don’t like what’s happening to Palestinians that’s all. If jews and Palestinians can live without all the oppression that’s happening to Palestinians then that’s ok. Muslims and jews lived in Andalusia for 800 years peacefully under Islamic regime. However that doesn’t seem to be the case with Zionism in power. Hence why I dislike Zionism but not Jews, there are zionists who aren’t Jewish and there are Jews who are against against Zionism.

Then you shouldn't dislike all Zionists. You can disagree with certain points.

No way. It's a world cup. At that point you may as well throw in the barbarians or Leinster or something. If Russia is banned then the next qualifier goes in. Possibly Hong Kong or Belgium or someone. I'd hate to see "A" teams in a world cup. Makes a mockery of it imo

I don't like it but it has been done. The New Zealand Māori rugby league team took part in the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. Hong Kong and Belgium aren't good enough. There are currently only 24 teams that are good enough and one of those is currently banned.

Rugby league is not the model to follow. Teams like Italy and Ireland have squads entirely of English players. They can't actually form real national teams. I'd rather a 1,000 - 0 scoreline between New Zealand and Finland before you let in representative or "A" sides. It's a world cup. National teams only.

Then we're stuck for now unless World Rugby identifies a nation with potential and develops a team. A team like Poland, Algeria, Zimbabwe or Kenya. With the right coaching etc maybe one of those teams can be good enough. Kenya look like they should be better than they are.

No not really

I was literally going to write this.

Bargain

Also the under 19 euros

Excellent 👍

They were another one too. Physical Disabled RL, we beat new zealand to become the first PDRL world champions.

Excellent. Thanks, I didn't know about that. It's fantastic how women and disabled athletes are getting more recognition. It feels like real progress is being made.

I will boycott it. If England make it to the semis I might lift my boycott.

I wouldn't give her an interview.

Nice try officer. This I will take to the grave.

One thing all religions have in common: hypocricy

No, one thing all people have in common is hypocrisy. Jesus was very against hypocrisy.

"Good luck with that."

He will change his mind when he gets hungry. Then he'll want money.

How exactly do you propose getting food when there is no money and you are not a farmer?

Eat grass I guess, like this dude.

Good question. And you will get some good answers no doubt. But I would like to just reassure you that our cultures are not that different. South American people fit in in London. People will have no Idea whether you're from Southern Europe or South America.

As hosts USA should be one of those 6 teams.

Toothache. I've been putting off getting up to get paracetamol because this bed is warm but the house is cold.

Nothing worse. But think about it, you can take the paracetamol, and once it kicks in you’ll be warm again, but this time without toothache.

Ok I'm going to do it now. Thanks

Bahamas is quite apart from the countries that make up the West Indies cricket team. The Bahamas were never part of the West Indies federation, so that probably has a lot to do with it. Guyana was also not part of the West Indies Federation so that doesn't tell the whole story.

Why are you a gaa (club)?

Elizabeth and Victoria did a great job by literally doing nothing. They are ceremonial figureheads as they should be. They don't get involved in politics, and that's good.

I would agree with that. As someone who had to do more than that Elizabeth I stands out.

I expect a major royal marrying an American divorcee would go absolutely fine these days. No one would turn against him. He'd definitely not feel forced to live abroad.

He will be forced to live wherever his wife tells him to live.

The Duke of Windsor AKA King Edward VIII. Was king for a year, then spent 35 years looking broken and ashamed. No one should have any hard feelings towards him. He wasn't up to the job and he knew it.

No. Just play the game and win. And stop encouraging Southgate to be all political. We need him to focus on the football. It stinks that Qatar was chosen to host the tournament, but it's done now. England were never in a strong position to lead any criticism because we wanted to host it. We would just look like sore losers. Also this is a special tournament because Wales qualified. Let's not ruin it for them.

I cannot sing at all. I would like to be able to sing but I am the worst. My wife and daughters can all sing.

Stop right there 🤚🏽 — there is NO low Meghan won’t stoop to. (Uvalde)

I mean she wouldn't stoop that low by her own standards. She thinks the people of Uvalde are lucky to have been graced by her presence. But she wouldn't lower herself to share a podcast with Rachel Dolezal.
