The six nations are back !

Now with brand new rules to protect the wellbeing of players. Less risk of injury, especially in the head area, following a wide neurological study during the last World Cup analysing each and every hit and making consequential changes to the rules. Brilliant decision by the governing body of rugby. So many former players, like in the NFL, having neuro issues later in life.

SCO 27 - 22 IRL   -- Superb showing from the Scots. A few too many errors by the Irish, who still get a deserved defensive bonus point.

ENG 19 - 16 FRA -- As of the 25th minute, a very organised French side Vs an explosive bunch of Englanders. Cracking game so far ! HALF TIME - France needs to stop scaring the Englanders, and start actually scoring a try or two !
Final result Brilliant show from the English who woke up in the 2nd half, and the final score shows. It would have been a different story if France had been able to complete its plays in the first half, props to the English defence !

ITA - WAL -- Tomorrow.

31 years ago today, February 8, 1986, Anthony "Spud" Webb redefined what a 5-foot 7-inch tall man can do in basketball by winning the Slam Dunk Contest against teammate Dominique Wilkins.



30 years and 1 day ago, February 7, 1987, Michael Jordan wins the Slam Dunk Contest and became the first to jump from the free throw line for a dunk.

Former Heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitscho faced his former sparring partner Anthony Joshua, trying to regain the WBA World Heavyweight boxing title and this fight made Heavyweight boxing relevant again.

Anthony Joshua is now 19-0. Good for him.

Colin and Sean Kelso are both retired professional rollerbladers that lost their pro status due to their sponsor at having to shrink the team. Since then, they have continued making feature length vid parts and uploading them for free on youtube with their friends because they still just love skating. This is the latest one!

You'd think that having the wheels attached to you would make it more doable, but that's bloody impossible-looking and impressive.
