Much like @StillMartPracEd (well, exactly the same if truth be told), but with less stuff that makes me angry & more rugby. Bath & England (lives in Cardiff).

@ruff_rydazz @Scienceofsport Not true.
The four step process is very clear
(What hasn’t been is the sudden change I interpretation during the tournament and inconsistent application between games)
English
The South African commentators and studio pundits still don’t understand the four elements of the head contact process. Quite disappointing how superficially they explain it. I know it’s imperfect, but it involves more than our SA viewers are told

If you found the post from yesterday (👇) potentially useful, please keep reading for a few - random - additional points regarding pleural procedures:
IMCrit@IM_Crit_
British Thoracic Society recently published a must-read Statement on pleural procedures. It is 26 pages long & is accompanied by 13 online supplementary appendices

@thepaulwilliams Or even ‘Wales A’ or ‘England A’ etc vs tier 2 fixtures before/after a tier 1 vs tier 1 game?
(Not ideal for their development I know ,but could kill 2 birds with 1 stone (& possibly more attractive for a big self-centred tier 1 union?)
English
If tier one teams are going to struggle to accommodate tier 2 teams in the schedule.
Can tier 2 fixtures become part of the same fixture?
ie Georgia v Portugal at Twickenham before England play NZ for example.
Double header which would be fantastic exposure on TV etc

@BBCPolitics @bbclaurak 2/2
That is long gone.
Now we have even lost the social contract of ‘if you work hard in any job, you will receive enough to live relatively free of worries about feeding & housing your family’ (forget luxury)
Hard Work no longer has the benefit for millions which it used to
English
“The country isn’t creaking, it’s actually broken”
Baroness Louise Casey criticises the government and says “the vast majority of people who are now poor are working”

@BBCPolitics @bbclaurak Forget the social contract of ‘if you work hard & pay NI then the NHS will pay for your care should you need it, some pension age, a safety net should you become unemployed, or the social & moral responsibility to help those less fortunate than ourselves’

@RobdanPistov @Fuzzy_man74 @mikegalsworthy The world is changing (based on good evidence, morality and common sense)
Adults adapt,

I don’t like driving at 20mph. I’d much rather drive at 30. But I understand what the 20mph limit is for and stick to it —because it’s far more important than my impatience as a “motorist”.
There’s no war on motorists- there’s only a community I live in - incl my 2 young kids.

@drewsnx @Scientits @tonyblackburn
Also (as has just been introduced in Wales):
opportunity for residents & groups to make official requests to councils to look at speed limits in individualised/local/focused way

This is the time of night when you are most likely to find drunk people on the road, or shift workers on cycles (including bus drivers) because it's the only reasonable way to get to & from home.
But you didn't consider that.
Tony Blackburn OBE.@tonyblackburn
This is where the 20mph limit is stupid. This is Finchley rd London and I was travelling in at 4.30 this morning at 20mph. Come on this is just stupid.

Agree or disagree with the govt position on net zero, but it is plainly wrong of PM to say that “all modelling suggests we will meet our targets regardless”
The truth is that we are off track to deliver on our targets and do not have the practical plans in place to change this.

@Mikeyweal @the2ndRow It’s a competitive game , it’s an underdog playing up, Georgia are playing with pure heart:
I’m not sure what you look for in competitive team sport, but you might be better off watching a team of professionals take on an under-10 side instead 👍
English
@the2ndRow No one who likes rugby (apart from Georgians) is enjoying this game… it’s ugly and filled with errors. What are you talking about?

@WelshGasDoc @omapemby73 Personally Depeche Mode every time
(But if you ask me - which you aren’t, but tough -
Personal Jesus isn’t a patch on Enjoy the Silence, which I will happily & pretentiously state is one of the greatest records ever recorded)
English
Depeche Mode and “Personal Jesus” was skipped. Never mind, it was Top 40 in America and heralded their longest run of US success. #potp

@PlanetRugby There is really nothing miraculous about this:
Everyone is talking about like he is going straight back into contact as if nothing has happened
He won’t play for at least 2 weeks and everything will be non-contact for quite a while yet
English
🗣️ “This activity will take place under the supervision of the French national team’s medical staff.”

@drp297 @docdai @Sonjamclaughlan He isn’t going to play for at least 2 weeks
If he has returned to training,it will be non-contact
(There is no chance he will just go straight back in as if nothing has happened)
We should all be concerned with brain initials,but isn’t that what graduated return to play is for?
English
@docdai @Sonjamclaughlan 3 weeks post collision is reasonable under the concussion protocols(presuming he's passed them) . Speaking to some Max-fax surgeons, no huge worries regarding the fracture/plating after 2 weeks. So seems kosher to me
English
@BethRigby Pretty obvious isn’t it:
They can’t fight on a Brexit agenda anymore, so they go after the same group of populist non-thinkers with insane climate change denial and anti-motorist crap

ANALYSIS: Critical week as RS gives first real election pitch. But can this reset-Rishi moment really change the fundamentals? With backers saying best hope is to stop outright Lab maj & others saying it all a “damage limitation exercise”, what’s the plan?

@NealOKelly @caviterginsoy @AndyCoxDCS ‘The data doesn’t support what I want to say,
So I’ll make up my own data’?
English
@caviterginsoy @AndyCoxDCS I don't have data to support it, if that's what you mean. But it's 3,465 miles from London to New York. And a 747 will carry 660 passengers. So one successful flight clocks up 2.3 million passenger miles. Which is like driving from Lands End to John O'Groats nearly 4000 times.

@joshgardner I got laughed at on Wednesday night at oldies touch rugby for suggesting that I thought NZ might have a game in them against Ireland in a QF.
Joe Schmidt with time to plan 👀

@thepaulwilliams I had laughed at the oldies touch rugby on Wednesday night when I said I was going to put £5 on NZ beating Ireland in the QF

@joelycett @GBNEWS Because (as we know) you are very right wing 👍

I have instructed my management to inform @GBNEWS bosses that I am available to replace any of their suspended presenters.
