Skinned up for an hour to ski this and it was magical … so magical that my legs are still somewhere out there 🙈🤣
When the weather is shit so you go down the valley and get to ski this ❤️
I had a fun afternoon - this doesn’t quite do justice to how loud it was …
Will be interesting what Etzebeth is ‘charged’ with and how severe the disciplinary committee view the offence to have been. Could be looking at a substantial ban; could be looking at 2/3 weeks. There is no defence - if he was defending himself, throwing a punch would have been better.
Interesting that Martin Gilbert is one of the initial investors … am wondering why …
Just seen this stat … would Rassie like a real coaching challenge? Because sorting this out would provide that!
So de Jager receives a 4 match / week ban for his full red card last Saturday …
It was in 2017 in San Francisco - which is ludicrous when you think there have been 2 RWCs since then!
So she’s acknowledged the foul play but is appealing the sanction … Hope she realises that it could be increased!
My ridiculously talented friend Jen turned my Lions shirts into cushions for me - the photos don’t do them justice! If you, or anyone you know, would like her details, please let me know!
The irony that this is the photo the Australian press is running with …
Interesting while they’re busy quoting law 9.20, they’re omitting law 15.3 - players involved of all stages of a ruck must have their heads and shoulders no lower than their hips. Had Tizzano been in a legal position, this discussion wouldn’t be happening.
This doesn’t come anywhere close to doing justice to how loud the stadium and the Lions fans were. Amazing!
