"Muddled England stare into the abyss after Rugby World Cup loss to Wales," wrote The Guardian after England let a 10-point lead slip in their 28-25 defeat by a Wales team ravaged by injuries but stirred to produce what some have described as the nation's greatest rugby victory.

What does it mean for Pool A? If England aren't to be evicted from their home tournament, they must produce the "game of their lives" and beat Australia on Saturday - and hope Wales slip up on home soil against Fiji today. Come on Wales!...............

 

3-1 .... still

 

A strangely muted rendering of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau at the Millennium Stadium. Are the crowd nervous that Wales will bottle it?

 

We'll leave the bottling to England!..... Wales will pile the pressure second half, and move up a gear last 20 minutes..................

 

Tough game with no bonus point, but still a good win, now it's over to you boys against OZ!......................

 

I wouldn't know. I'm a football supporter with a passing interest in a minority sport, although the same report didn't say that the England penalties were dubious, so I would bow to the superior knowledge of those that understand the rules, and take it that they WERE legit.
The use of video technology has been discussed previously, on this thread, which is why I mentioned it.
So, where do you draw the line? Should every decision be checked? After all, the ref often back tracks, when checking a try, to see if X was offside, Y had obstructed a tackle and Z had passed the ball forward.

If the question is too difficult......

 

Has anyone noticed the uncanny resemblance between the All Blacks' no 19, Victor Vito, and our own no 19?

 

Photo..!

 

This chappie.?

BTW, I just used Microsoft Edge to do this and it's something no other browser appears to be able to do [in my experience].

 

That is he. He's the same size and build as Graziano, and has that Italian style as well. That photo shows the resemblance quite well.

 

Yes, I decided not to copy and paste Victor Vito into Google to identify him [don't know the guy] and just went on resemblance. Not bad, I'll give you that.

Any curiosity into my MS Edge discovery.?

 

Yes, what is it and how does it work?

 

It's Microsoft's new browser for Win 10. Very simple and straight forward, but it does have a rather snazzy little ability to be able to write in freehand on top of webpages and then cut and paste any section of that webpage to anywhere else. For example, I am now in Firefox:


but I just did that in Edge, copied it and pasted it here. Fun, but really useful too. And very quick.

 

Impressive! I've just gone back to work part time at the RUH Bath, where they have just upgraded to Windows 7, and where 10 is just a distant dream... And I've got nothing at home that uses any sort of Windows!
Looks good though!

 

Nearly every example of Windows 7 can be upgraded to Win 10 for free. There are only about 3 versions of Win 7 that can't be done for free, ie, you have to pay about £100. Check up which versions are and aren't free and see which versions you use. If Win 7 is updated to the limit it will eventually ask you if you want Win 10. Then it is up to you to say Yes or No. If you refuse it, it will still be available for free for a year starting from the end of last July, should you change your mind. It's actually a bit of a no-brainer.

 

Not my decision, unfortunately. There are approximately 3,000 PC's in the hospital, and the various bits of client ware they all use has had to be upgraded to 7. So I don't think they're going to migrate to 10 any time soon!

 

Which will be their loss.l Primary support of Win7 has already stopped. Win10 has 5 clear years ahead of it.

 

Although there is not half the need for copious amounts of gel

 

They upgraded to Win 7 about 3 years after Microsoft stopped supporting XP, so you can see how slowly things happen!
