Agreed, well done to both teams.

Watched them both - what a cliffhanger at times and to top it all my soccer team Chelsea beat Arsenal - well done all. One of the Rugby match commentators said he was walking in Richmond Park this morning with his dog when the French team came out of the hotel where they were staying and the dog turned and ran away - they were rather huge gentlemen.

We lived near Penny Hill Park, which had a lovely spa which we would treat ourselves to a couple of times a year. The England Rugby Team also used it, and one day we were in the Jacuzzi when a tank got in with us. He was huge.

Regarding sport, Lincoln's fairytale season continues. They are now top of their league, in the 5th round of the FA cup, and in the 1/4 finals of the FA trophy.

Wales v England and the Wolves v Newcastle straight after. I've laid out a €1,000.00 double bet on Wales and Wolves. Partying in the Brewery Bar on Saturday Night later on...................

I like your sense of humour.

Can I suggest a 2 euro double the other way around so at least you can afford some beer to cry into when your main bet goes down?

Whilst watching the last few International rugby games I have noticed that at the back of the players shirts (Whatever happened to the old fashioned cotton loose fitting rugby shirts?) there is a padded section about 3 inches by 1 inch just below the hem of the neck, any ideas what this is for?
It also seems to the same for all teams.

Found this on Google:-

its 2 main things: its a GPS tracker for speed, distance, and so on, but also (more importantly for the medical staff/statisticians) it measures g-force in impacts (presumably just a simple accelerometer?). The medical staff review the telemetry from this, at the same time as watching footage, to see how heavy certain hits were, and compare to injuries etc. (They need the footage to know whether the g-force is from a tackle, or just Habana stepping an opponent

Thanks MM, very interesting and am sure it provides great knowledge.
