When I was coaching U12 and U14, we used to have problems with a certain club in EORU (lots of limestone?).  Instead of playing proper Rugby Union 7s where possession counted and rucks were allowed, they used to insist on us playing no ruck allowed and 6 downs per field.  My oldest very quickly...

Women's Sevens from China. Canadian Women are ranked 3rd in the world. Live at  http://www.fengyunzhibo.com/tv/134166_1377081495667.htm Worst IRB feed ever is coming from China.  Canadian Women play in the Cup Quarter finals in 30 minutes

We are consistently challenging the very best teams  this year, often with a less than 5 point difference.  Number 9 is pretty damn good, and far better than our 15s ranking since professionalization (or forever?).  Worst we will finish is 8th in this tournament....Wales next.....

Damn did we ever....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE A commentary on politics....could also google the question....the answer is there of course.

If it means they will take back TAPV I'm for it.....

Kind of makes you want to ask  "Are you the Judean People's Front?"

Having over 30 years of service and currently a Regular Force Infantry Officer, both are physically demanding trades.  While not impossible to join at 43 and serve until 55 or 60, personal experience tells me that the human body is more apt to accept the occasionally (or sometimes often?) ...

Born in Red Deer and raised in small towns in Alberta until high school.  Add a few army postings back mine adds up to 21 years....have always voted here too.  Unless your Grandparents homesteaded in Peace River and lived in a sod hut next to my grandparents....i think not :)  My wife is an...

Hmmm...maybe us Albertans need a proper immigration office.....

But it's a wet cold...

Cornwall always benefits financially from increased talk of Quebec separation and increased cigarette taxes...

Appears to have been the right decision given the situation. As a guy who has lived in both Alberta and Ontario recently....Alberta has better government and leadership....hands down.  I think Albertans expect more too. 

I couldn't agree more wth the above. It is so ludicrous that I wonder if they are not trying to inflame the opinions of thinking RoC's, with a view to goading us into saying nasty things, which will only serve to sway opinion of the undecided in Quebec. 

I very maturely moved this comment as I was at risk of derailing the useful and informative Ukraine thread.  I can't pass up this "Ich bin ein Berliner" reference which is a lyrical link to to one of my favourite songs by one of the strangest bands to come out of the UK in the 1980s.  At the...

In its early days, The Bear was quite good.  Lately however, the Bear was sounding lately like it was in a terminal death spiral fighting for space between CHEZ and Live 88.5.  Live 88.5 has seriously gone downhill in the last few years as it filled the vacuum of a retreating Bear...I was glad...

Ya-a-a-a-w-w-w-nnnnn Used to be quite emotional about this....but quite frankly no longer care.  Albertan through and through born and raised.....have managed to live 17 years in Ontario though thanks to the RCMP and the Army.  Quite familiar with the issues but no longer concerned.  I love...
