@cheryl_kernot That was the point I turned it off

@brumby_fan Why put the pressure on him??

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

@RRichardClark @HuwTindall @OBBY001 I would have loved it if 1 of them played in the backs - imagine the shit he’d cop from his brothers 😆

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

@MikeCarlton01 It made it on to Brisbane radio….somehow they forgot to mention it was a mosque 🤷‍♂️

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

Great common sense refereeing by Berry - if the opposition go for an intercept & can get a hand to it but knock it on - just play the knock on. No penalty or card, it’s a shit pass.

What a shame such a great game of rugby was marred by such woeful officiating. He shouldn’t even be doing club rugby.

@OBBY001 Eddie should never be allowed anywhere near Australian rugby ever again

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

Cracking game of rugby being ruined by some appalling officiating 🤷‍♂️
#REDvCHI

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

This ref is way out of his depth. Absolutely clueless at the breakdown - Chiefs aren’t even pretending to enter the ruck through the gate or stay on their feet & are clearing out well past the ruck.

What a great win for the @Reds_Rugby So many solid contributions from so many players.

Holy shit, this is BRILLIANT: This dude breaks down why everyone thinks the whole WHCD event was fake... everything about trump is FAKE.

Best video you'll see today.

@steve_l15 I saw it at the time & was surprised they missed it

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

You’re never going to win with Doleman in charge #BLUvRED

[Andrew Plastow @Plas08]

@JWDrennan @kinson88 Excellent debut. Always good to hear a different voice & their views on Aus rugby.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

Right then.
Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works.

You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.

Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available?

You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant.

NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours.

You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait.

@RugbyReg That was a terrible display by the Reds. Outplayed & out enthused. To their credit, the Force looked like they wanted it more & the Reds looked like they’d rather be somewhere else. No heart & no idea. Too many players living in a Ballymore bubble perhaps? Glad I didn’t go.
