This Quins side has skated by on the history of attacking rugby, but with the league going ultra-attacking, they’ve been shit in attack for about 3 years

Totally pathetic from Quins so far

They need to ban Zebo and Wilson from commentating on Munster Glasgow. Feels like I’m in between two partisan pub bores. No thanks

CricViz win predictor is almost so useless as to be a waste of pixels. Frequently giving teams with no chance of victory 20+% chance, when the betting markets have long since ended the contest.

Fair play to the wife of a Caribbean man and mother of mixed race children being informed by the BBC reporter that she’s in the minority in her community regarding immigration and responding with, “Yes, I’m surrounded by bigots.”

At the risk of being controversial, I didn’t think the Sydney Sweeney ad was about women in sport. And I’m very confused how so many people have thought it is. There’s questions to be asked about using nudity to advertise a third-rate US betting company, but that’s it

More than 10%, fuck off. Can I have the whole bank on at 1/10 then If it was actually 10%, they’d be shitting themselves everyday, not prepping for an IPO. Charlatans

Jack Counsell @jackcounsell.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Absolutely clinical by the All Blacks, whereas Springboks have been totally dominating but wasting dozens of points #RSAvNZL #RGR26

Jack Counsell @jackcounsell.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

lol, could be massive not getting any points there

Jack Counsell @jackcounsell.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Huge linebreak that by Jordan. Got them out of that half only one point down. #RSAvNZL

I’ve just watched the Kalshi/Polymarket doc on Netflix. So clearly speedrunning what the UK did 20y ago. I love how they claim to be about finding truth in predictions, and then the next sentence is 85-90% of business is sports betting. It’s gambling, whatever way you spin it
