AGRFU

I read today that the AGRFU had to auction off the major shirt sponsorship deal for the Arabian Gulf side in the upcoming HSBC Asian Five Nations on eBay.

Sadly, the AGRFU will cease to operate after this season, due to a change in IRB arrangements in this part of the world.

On a happy note, I hear the latest result was a good one for the Gulf side, running out 21-19 winners against Korea at the Se7ens ground in Dubai.

Give your vote

I'm going to try and keep political views to a minimum on Windy Rucker, however, one story in the last week, leading up to the carnage that was the General Election in the UK, caught my eye, and made my blood boil.

'Give your vote' is a campaign run for individuals in countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Ghana to cast a vote in the UK General Election, because policies formed by the UK government affect millions of people in these countries and more.

I'm sorry, but policies made in India, China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, USA directly affect me, as a consumer, but do you see me crying out for a vote there? NO. 

I'm pretty sure UK policies do not single out these countries, therefore a vote from there would be unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. 

What a ridiculous idea.

Do you think they'd let me vote in the US, for a climate change bill?

Rant over,

Rucker.
