Which position, on average, has the longest career?
Hopefully he gets plagued for a long while like he plagued his wife.

Hey hivemind, anyone help me out what could be nice ways to package the women's world cup tickets I got for someone as a Christmas gift, since giving vouchers/paper is just so boring?!
I couldn't find any fitting merch, so I'm a bit stuck with trying to make a silly card, maybe some creative wrapping, I guess.
...the only idea I could come up so far, was some pun relating to Holly (Davidson) perhaps - but I'd definitely be grateful for a few more ideas!
Cheers in advance, folks!!
Seeing all these 6 nations logo complaints and all I feel it’s that is priming us up for this.
Some pearls during an interview/press conference after that Toulon v Glasgow match lol.
Sinzelle : At the moment, we're not a great team yet.
Journo : Why do you say that?
Sinzelle : You can see it in the way we're being refereed. I don't want to give the stick... We're not taking the chances we should be taking either. We gave Glasgow the opportunity to come back. They're dying by a point because they were more enterprising. The group hung together, but we chased the Scots a lot. We were too present in the rucks. We've got a lot of little things to iron out. We need to do better in our weaker moments. We were better from the moment we were less present in the rucks. In short, we got into trouble on our own.
Later...
We're an average team and our refereeing is average. We have to be honest with each other. A little anecdote: when Enzo (Hervé) came in, he talked to me about bonuses. I told him we didn't have the referee with us. It didn't fail! In the end, it was a success by just one point. You have to play with that kind of feeling. I knew we couldn't win the try bonus. The continuity of the refereeing wasn't with us. I felt the difference between them and us, but the main thing is that we won.

Sudamerica + Africa involve almost all their WR members
🇵🇱’s 2023 REC relegation and 🇷🇺’s ban mean east Europe benefit little from RWC expansion
Only 44 nations will play qualifiers due to 2025 deadline/bullshit PNC 🤡
I know there’s been a few posts lately regarding the new branding for the 6 Nations but what on earth were they thinking in deciding that this was the right choice for the Under-20s logo
Important bit of business taken care of consider the Irish depth at 1 and 3

Welcome to r/rugbyunion's Moronic Monday. Feel free to post any rugby questions or to just chat.
Recently moved permanently from Flanker to Prop because apparently my teammates are sick of nearly breaking their necks or something like that.
Have only scrummed in one match so far and obviously had some mixed results (turns out the neck complaints are slightly warranted).
I’m still of course trying to improve my form and packing on a few extra KG’s but good god I need new boots. I’m currently using Canterbury Speed Infinite boots and while they were fine in the back row I need something with a bit more stability.
I was wondering if any other props could give me some guidance as to what’s best. I’m guessing I need bigger studs (I had bought some but they don’t fit into Canterbury boots) and 3 rows of studs at the front, hopefully that’s right.
I’m ok with spending a bit within reason but currently I’m leaning towards Koogas.
Any help would be great!
