    Kids ability to move and contort themselves is unbelievable.
    I previously did a lot of standard gym training, bball, gaa etc but from the point of view of having the best quality of life as you get older, they are not the way to go imo, attempting to emulate the movement that a child is able to perform is better.

    I would imagine you begin to lose it at school as you're seated for so long for the first time.
    I previously thought, why bother with the active work stations but they really are the way to go.

              I assume that's what you meant by middle weight and not middleweight (185lbs).
              Yes it is what i ment but in saying that an actual middleweight or higher would be interesting but again a lack of fighters would be the problem. But seen the likes of a Gabi Garcia would surly have a big draw.

              Friend of mine fighting around 6pm in South Africa in the EFC, will be live on their Facebook page. Hes a strong favourite but still needs the win for a break in his career as he cant get opponents to fight him. Seriously looking forward to this.

              Going out later so will have to record the UFC, hopefully its a good card especially the main event.

                Possibly a bigger influx for sure but no way they take over.
                If you simply look at Majors, only Yang has broken through. Hideki will surely get there but proteges like Ishikawa just never made it.
                Genetics?? Really how...
                Li is 6ft as is Noh and Bae.
                There work ethic is second to none.
                Biggest problem i see is the two-year military service in South Korea and some of the other countries. Bae has just returned and Noh has just left his his 2 years.
                Current conscription laws states that athletes who win medals in the Olympic Games or gold medals in the Asian Games are granted exemptions from military service and are placed in Grade 4. So they are required to do 4 weeks of basic military training and engage in sports field for 34 months. Hence why Kang will not have to enlist this year.

                Look back 11 years in the womens game the initial top ten only 3 Asian players ranked 8 9 and 10. 2017 7 of the 10 are Asian. Alot can happen and progress in 10 years.
                30 of the top 50 are Asian.

                    There is a certain brutality which is required for the very best teams. Everyone talks about space and skills these days, but it is still a collision sport. Chiefs pushing the offside line with their speed and both teams just smashing each other.

                    I personally love it.

                          They are brilliant at it. Truly excellent.

                          It's crazy because so few of their players would get into opposition teams, but they still manage to beat far far better groups of players.

                          That being said, Henry Slade had some sublime touches today.

                            FFS arranged my day around a 17:30 kock off. Only saw the last ten mins having listened to the rest while going around the poxy supermarket.

                            Job done in the end It did sound as if a get out of jail card had to be played played.

                                Had their heads up their asses for the first 50 minutes. And the ref was 'interesting', young lad learnt some new words.

                                Dream still alive for Bilbao though.

                                  Losing two out halves and the Chiefs started brilliantly.
                                  I disagree about it taking 50 minutes to get it together. I thought after the 2nd try for them they really dug in against a very good team who didn’t give away much.

                                  Ill discipline and poor reffing on the offside line but I primarily blame the assistants for that.

                                            Pretty bad state of affairs when you've done a bottle of whisky on your lonesome before 19:30. Bargain alert: Gordon's gin was down to €17 in Tesco today.

                                              Toulon getting beat is a great result for Leinster and Munster.

                                              Good luck to Munster in Welford Road tomorrow, they'll be looking to make it a somewhat unreal 8/8 for Ireland in Europe over these festive weekends.

                                              Leinster-Munster in the sun in Bilbao?

                                                Excellent bit of early drinking, did you keep it going or hit the wall?

                                                Tesco also have two one-litre bottles of Smirnoff Red for €40 until close of business tomorrow, quite the discount.

My quitter attitude has ruined me for drinking as now two glasses of wine would have me wrecked the following day. Think it's called kindling: binge, quit, binge, quit, a few times and your system just says to fuck right off.

                                                                            Can't imagine Gabi Garcia would ever be a draw. She is terrible at MMA. Beating up geriatric Japanese wrestlers in Rizin is the peak for her imo.
                                                                            The UFC 145 division will struggle to find fighters. No chance they find 245lb fighters for Gabi

                                                                            The women's flyweight has good potential imo. A friend of mine is ranked in the just announced top 10. she has a big fight next but a win puts her in title contention.

Lomans in total control were planning for the semi in there heads. Draw imo would have been fair the eejit kicking it away when the man is 55 meters out and no immediate danger Jesus.

                                                                                                                        I guess **in theory** I should be shouting for Saracens but fuck that. Clermont are my favourite club outside of Leinster and if anyone deserves a HC, it's them.

                                                                                                                        If it remains a draw, that'll do too. Everything falling Leinster's way really. No excuses for not going 6/6 now and getting the No 1 spot.
