@jegga Yeah - currently riding a shitty little chinese 150cc motorbike around Mongolia.
Last week, I lucked out with a hotel room where I got Setanta.
This week - deliberately made today's ride a short one, checked into the most "classy" (relatively, for Mongolia) looking hotel in town... no Setanta.That sounds very cool .
My brother in law used to like it there, there’s a species of trout that grows to four feet long he used to fly fish for.
He reckoned the alcohol consumption amongst the locals was on a par with Russians too .

It's kinda a "stop-gap" between two other trips - the London-Beijing I bragged about in the de-facto Motorbike thread (and need to write a more recent write-up on, probably starting an actual biker thread), and I'm about to head to North Korea after this. Won't be posting from there, I suspect, sorry @Victor-Meldrew .
But yeah - I've met a few people here for the fishing, and seen a few fly-fishers about.
The alcohol consumption - it's weird, it seems like drinking vodka and airag used to be a standard thing for any semi-social occasion... but nowadays, there's heaps of guys drinking beer in the afternoon/evening - not handling it well... and maybe a bit of a backlash from the non-drunkards. -
Read playing really well. Much better running and ball in hand. Coles you fucking shit for brains. Too many penalties still.
@Mokey yea I think talk of Reads demise was a bit premature, he has been building nicely the last few games

is Jaco making up his own rules?

Bullocks he played at it, doesn’t matter where it bounces. You can grubber the kick off over the 10m mark if you want.

Yeah. Do that. We can compare notes - you on the Chinese 150 in Mongolia and me battling cow-shit and Cornwall's country lanes on a Honda 250...
Happy trails.

Yes 7 man scrum

ball either goes 10 or it doesnt, regardless of where it bounces, if played at by team receiving, how far it goes is irrelevant
