Graph showing the percentage of home wins in Six Nations games

In only one other tournament (so far) this century has the number of away wins been fewer.

It's obviously only half a tournament.

There's a wierd edit in that we he cut out his response to "What do you feel about the War?" Why? There seem to be so many client journalists in the US ... too scared to make any sort of comment ... they just parrot the Dear Leader.

It seems impossible for any English journalist to write about Italy in a sporting context without a reference to the Italian Job. It's like a stuck record ... zero creativity ... the same old tropes. FFS.

This'll turn into a disaster about whether you *look* Japanese or whether you have the prefect accent.

This is (yet another) poorly thought out & poorly communicated idea. Why not say locals who can show their local council bills get 20% off the price of admission? Simples.

You're spot on. To the Gnome, it doesn't matter whether what she say is true or not. What matters is what her base *thinks* is true. Everyday is about feeding the deluded and ignorant - as Bill Clinton said, "the basket of deplorables".

Can't see the evidence of Rennie's claim of more line breaks. In fact, something very strange happened during Covid and the number of line breaks hasn't really recovered – in *all* of *any* competitions.

WRU only has one strategy - more games for Team Wales. They are completely clueless.

Europe’s population crisis: see how your country compares – visualised How anti-immigration politics across the EU clashes with demographic reality

Immigration is essential where populations are aging. And attracting the best immigrants has the biggest positive impact on the economy.

(Yeh. I'm an immigrant.)

Not all growth comes from consuming more resources. Growth can also be achieved by doing things more efficiently. For example, companies consume more resources in shipping their products to the other side of the planet instead of transporting them to a huge trading block next door.

Listening to the BBC employee trying to dumb everything down to a one line "gotcha!" is excruciating.

Idiocracy personified.

Yes.

It's almost as if Union sets out to make things as staid and boring as possible.

I really don’t understand why Union still has drawn games. Bonkers. Ramp up the tension! Extra time! Sudden death! It’s done for cup games, so why not?
