Morning all. Is ok to lose to Fiji, they are pretty much 7s specialists. I'm sure England will make up for it by thumping them at 15s when they're over here for an Autumn test (which I do believe I have tickets for 
)
We completely missed the women's gymnastics. 
the sparkle factor is obviously to help the judges keep track of them as they wizz round their events, twisting and turning faster than the speed of light. 
Did you see [[http://rochdaleherald.co.uk/breaking-news/thousands-dead-in-daily-mail-olympics-tragedy/ that article in the Rochdale Herald]] taking the piss out of the Daily Fail for simulteneously being outraged at Helen Skelton's short dress showing too much flesh, and the Egyptian Beach Volleyball team’s leggings not showing enough?

Thousands dead in Daily Mail Olympics tragedy
by rochdaleherald • August 10, 2016 • 7 Comments
Thousands of Daily Mail readers are dead today after their heads exploded whilst reading the rag’s coverage of the Olympics.
Mild confusion over the juxtaposition between the length of Helen Skelton’s skirt and the Egyptian Beach Volleyball team’s leggings quickly became explosive embolisms.
Armed police responded to several incidents of reported gunfire yesterday at newsagents and nursing homes across Rochdale only to discover on arrival that a number of middle-aged women had literally blown their own minds trying to be outraged at too much and not enough leg at the same time.
A Greater Rochdale Police spokesman issued a statement which read;
“Stop reading The Daily Mail, it contains dangerous levels of hypocrisy and conflicting opinion. At least you know with The Guardian or The Telegraph that they’re going to tell you who and what to hate consistently.”
Please take a moment to tell a Dail Mail reader that they don’t necessarily have to hate everything Lord Rothermere tells them to, you might just save a life.
