Increasing retail concentration leads to increased profits and price hikes. The same the world over. Now, about that "cost of living crisis" ... www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-...
It's interesting to note the dramatic fall in attendances at club games in SA from Super Rugby days. The Bulls averaged 35K in the 2010-11 season. Last season, they averaged 13K - heavily skewed by games vs other SA teams. Where did all those supporters go? www.cardiffrfcfans.com/analysis/555...
Attendances in Wales and Italy actually increased. It was attendances in South Africa and Ireland that were the problem. In fact, Irish attendance were higher 10 seasons ago. (2/2) www.cardiffrfcfans.com/analysis/486...
Attendances at URC games fell by over 100K last season. Average attendance also fell. So no. It is not "consistently growing". (1/2) www.cardiffrfcfans.com/analysis/486...
I see New Zealand still play to their own set of laws. It would be difficult to define a clearer instance of a red card.
So far, the US has broken (a) [Iran]; (b) [Ethiopian Ref] and (c) [Red carded player]. What a massively rigged and corrupt "competition".
Fewer than half the South African team which faces England this weekend, actually play their rugby in South Africa.
How did it go the last time a country gave up their nuclear weapons? Did they give up all their cards as well?
Why is the Liberal Party so deeply unpopular with women? It's a complete mystery, I tell ya.
Fergus Slattery was a hero of my childhood. He was relentless .... a force of nature. RIP, Fergus.
Bloody hypocrites. "The federal and state governments profit from this free labour directly, selling it to corporations, but the rise of for-profit prisons puts an even finer point on it: Americans are imprisoned for corporate profit." thefreedomhub.org/blog/prisons...
Six!! Wow! 🤣 Seriously though until we solve the problem below, it isn't a serious competition ...
OK ... the SMH needs some decent sub-editors, but nevertheless shows how terrible the URC TV deal is .... www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-...
