“Yet no amount of big data or game management can prepare players
for the World Cup. This is not a military campaign like the European
Six Nations championship or the [Southern Hemisphere] Rugby
Championship…. The knockout stage is more like a 19th-century duel,
a spectacle where even the world’s best may fall victim to self-doubt.”
~ Lionel Barber, writing for FT Rugby: World Cup 2015

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
