    NRFL Combine in United States Ready to Roll on April 5-6th

    But that's crazy expensive and wouldn't get noticed amid everything else that's going on? I'd have thought finding the regular season games likely to be the biggest stinkers and putting spots during those would get the biggest conversion rate :lol: As to the LA thing, it's great news that...

    TMO's technical inadequacy

    Editing video is the bit that takes power, playback is cheap and easy.

    What's a summary of it, for those of us who won't be registering to read it?

    Rugby Analysis

    So, I'm playing around with opencv a bit at the moment. Is there anything that would be helpful to have automated, like stats etc

    Telegraph Pacific Island Player Drain Article

    Motorsports generally has far better coverage, but rarely hits the mainstream other than F1. Some of the mainstream coverage of that can be bland and full of puff pieces, but even then it's far better than the uninformed **** that most rugby stuff is. Football is generally a sea of ****, with...

    Your best "worst movie"

    HARD TARGET A John Woo movie where JCVD has to stop Lance Henrikson and Arnold Vorsloo from running trips for millionaires who go hunting hobos. The ending is in a warehouse full of fireworks. Which is on fire. And the bit with the snake...

    USA vs All Blacks - 01/11

    That's what they said about soccer 15 years ago, but it's grown hugely and MLS is going from strength to strength. They don't need to get NFL sized, if they get to where MLS is today, they'd be the biggest in the world. As long as they focus on the NFL off season I don't see why that's an...

    NRFL Combine in United States Ready to Roll on April 5-6th

    The IMG partnership sounds good, they've got a very good track record with their work with the USSF. As to the current playing quality, yeah, they'd need to go heavy on the imports in those positions if it started tomorrow but that's no big deal. It's not like there's huge amounts of money...

    NRFL Combine in United States Ready to Roll on April 5-6th

    Wikipedia disagrees on the Association Agreement thing and reckons it doesn't have the full bit about movement of workers that counts for aspects like the Kolpak ruling and has a more limited section instead, designed to allow companies to transfer their existing staff between the US and EU...

    NRFL Combine in United States Ready to Roll on April 5-6th

    Talent is never a show stopper of an issue. I would expect they don't have enough people with deep enough pockets.

    Challenge Cup Qualifying Competition: what's going on?

    Bit harsh on Italy; Not really 2 extra slots, is it? they've given up 4 direct entry slots, so I can't blame them for wanting to have teams in the qualifiers.

    Canada's 2014 Home Schedule announced.

    Limiting travel costs (eg, having unbalanced fixtures against teams in other conferences) is an important aspect, but the problem with all the "this would be a good spot for a team" is that essentially it boils down to one thing - a millionaire willing to risk $5-10m in each location willing to...

    RWC 2015 Organisers Consider Fan Segregation

    Do you watch The Football Factory before you go to bed every night or something? Football needs segregating because it's ended up being the sport of choice for tanked up knuckledraggers to follow, no other reason. The lack of rugby headlines is because of the relative level of interest in the...

    [RWCQ] United States vs. Uruguay. 2nd Leg, 29/03/14

    I know the Americans would be favourites for the repecharge but Group A is a tough one while they could create an upset in group B.

    In Argentina: The working class hates Rugby

    "North of Watford" to mean "not Home Counties", sure; but "Outside the M25" just makes you sound a bit uninformed. Northampton might "not be far from" the M25 in pure distance - because let's face it, the country is hardly the size of Russia, lots of things are close by - but it is a very...
