'Almost like NFL': Jones wants rugby to follow NRL and speed up playEngland coach Eddie Jones says rugby has turned into a stop-start visual product similar to the NFL and is calling for at least two fundamental changes to speed up play I wonder where he got this idea from FOXNRL NRL He is spot on with this analysis, I can barely watch Rugby Union now because of the constant stoppages. The game needs to flow. Been saying for years that rugby rule changes are needed to ensure the survival of the game. Most important rule change is to get the backlines separated. Almost every pass along the backline now is a hospital pass

Civil unrest 'tends to favour Republicans' at the ballot box | Sky News AustraliaDespite the widespread violence, perpetrated by some protesters and some police, America is a “long way from teetering on the brink of collapse,” according to The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan. \n\nAmerica has endured its eighth straight day of protest in response to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes as he told them 'I can't breathe'. \n\nWhile most protesters were peaceful, riots have broken out across the US, with agitators setting police cars alight and smashing small businesses' windows as police struggle to maintain order.\n\nMr Sheridan told Sky News while protesters had a right to be “incensed” by Floyd’s murder, the violence will likely “help Donald Trump in November.”\n\n“The history of race riots and civil violence in the United States is that it helps the law and order party, and it doesn’t do much good for the cause it is meant to be backing,” he said.\n\n“This is a very serious matter, and I think Donald Trump is uniquely ill-equipped to pour a soothing balm on these troubles as a president.\n\n“On the other hand, I think America is long way away from teetering on the brink of collapse. \n\nIf the civil disorder continues, the pendulum of sympathy will swing away from shock and outrage at this terrible murder of this black man, and it will swing against the people doing the demonstrations.” australian What are Greg Sheridan’s qualifications on being able to predict American socioeconomic changes? australian It's a pity we can't say the same about his publication. australian There has never been a Lunatic in the WhiteHouse.... NeverTrumper Republicans will vote him out 🔥🔥🔥🐲🐷🐷🐷👹🤮😤🦠🐒👇👇👇🙅‍♂️
