(Up)hill-hater who is new to the cycling world (love at first ride) and trying to make up for lost time by immersion in trying different models, materials, building, buying and selling different bits (hopefully without losing too much money) until I settle on a few things that really suit me in different circumstances.

    Was a shame but he’s has an amazing career and is so well regarded by all rugby fans

    Touched on this previously without definitive requirements and this answers forthcoming.
    I want a couple of solar powered CCTV cameras installed that can be controlled/accessed remotely so assuming 3/4G capability (there is 4G in the area). So what do I need?
    2 scaffold poles - check
    2 reolink or similar 4G solar powered cameras c.£80-130 each on Amazon (obviously)
    What do I need in terms of SIM SIM-Only plan (hopefully cheap) to run them? Can I link them using one sim?

    Thanks in advance

    After pathetic supersub selections (Dan and I F-W previously who then came good as SS after) I went for the safe 20 points of Ramos as SS - very dull

    My selections trashed it, as they have for the last few weeks!! I clearly haven’t paid enough attention this year having finally got around to understanding the nuances of the previous scoring system so I need to get to grips with this new format where clearly points are harder to come by - 500,600,700 plus point matchweeks used to be commonplace (I once neared 1000) but I think it’s probably better and requires more study with the new format

    Ha, very good. 3 away wins is a rarity but can’t see beyond it
    Sco by 9
    France by 4
    Ireland by 16

    I want to say no but will probably jinx it. Is there a Twickenham factor? I reckon Ireland by 16

    What a dramatic finale and, really France should be P3 W0 L3! They were trying to score from every single play in the first half and I’m sure a bit more patience and structure would have had them 15-20 points up at half time; some of the play was plain stupid - just looping miss 3 pass after looping miss 3 pass when building phases and putting the ball through the hands would have surely resulted in points. Absolutely fair play to Italy who will be gutted, quite rightly!

    Indeed!

    Dunno what the commentators are seeing/smoking. That’s a red Al day long nowadays isn’t it? Zero mitigation
    Also, another awful TMO non-call. Clearly lost control into an Italian player before regathering! I can’t see why the TMOs aren’t saying anything like ‘it looks somewhere between very probably and certainly that it’s a knock-on’. Same as the Scotland non-try vs France
