    So what are the Welsh trying to say with their shirts. Brains up this part, beer down here - is there doubt which way up?

    Those are the old jerseys too. The new ones are made by Under Armor [sic]. And because of the no alcohol advertising in France, when they play there the jerseys say "Brawn" instead.

    I love the Brains shirts. They're right up there with the team where everyone is called Mr Price.

    Isn't one of the league teams? Canberra?

    In other countries, teams are named after the sponsoring organisation

    Don't forget all the teams in every sport in Japan, like the Yomiyuri Giants. Or the old American Football franchises like the Eagles and the Packers

    Look at Ryder's hungry little eyes, he can't wait to hit the piss in the dressing room at lunch.

    You're assuming he hasn't got a hip flask in his whites.

    This week: Aofa for Woodcock (yellow card) at 45 min

    Also this can't be true because Afoa can't replace Woodcock if he's off for a yellow card. So what really happened was Woodcock came off and then at the first scrum Afoa replaced Kaino and Nonu stepped into the scrum at #8.

    Yes they do. Haydn just hasn't incorporated them.

    You will notice the piece in the original post where I mentioned not liking data entry. If someone wants to make me a spreadsheet...

    Can I haz regressions with confidence limits fitted?

    Possibly, though that harder than just generating a bar chart

    What is also interesting about the Ali Williams stats is that, while his First 3 stats look pretty wild, there appears to be a bit of predictability in his performance - sharp decreases are usually followed by sharp increase and vice versa. Maybe it's a regression-to-the-mean kinda thing.

    Until you look at his last three games (albeit missing the Hong Kong match) they are all trending downward

    OK James, you've posted three broken links in a morning. Do you need the cheat sheet?

    I fixed them.
