Women's rugby league over here is excellent. The standard is really high. The old big weakness was kicking for goal, which was dreadful, but now it is of a very high standard indeed.

The advantage of being professional.

It is mental this game is being played at 3pm really.

The weather here is brutally hot. Actually painful to be out in.

Pffffft just 90F, take some layers off

(I'm sure it was ~97F or so here when Flum and Inter kicked off; it really is stupendously stupid)

I think I’m one of the odd ones one’s on here who can comfortably sit in any heat up to 35 degrees

I can just about deal, but that's having grown up with it. Meanwhile, I need a light jacket or cardigan for the first few weeks of less than 20C temps.

I will say that this business of consistently hitting 95F/35C almost daily does make it pretty fucking insufferable.

Its properly dry though today. I know I have pathetic Scottish genes but I can feel my skin burning as I walk.

If there was a breeze, no problem but it's definitely one of those feels like it's over 100 and I am just walking around.

That's extremely funny to me; Americans almost 100% would tell you a dry heat beats a humid heat any day (and twice on Sundays). Cultures, ay?

Its such a mix here this week. Monday was like being in Singapore with the heat and humidity (I walked up and down Roosevelt Island and honestly looked liked i had swam around it)

Today is UAE style dry heat.

For clarity...I hate both.

Loved the rain storm during the baseball last night...the locals ran away and hid from it.

I learnt after prolonged periods in Cyprus and the Gulf to just slow the pace down of everything.

Bah, was going off Metlife.

The last time I was over in Oz, a Mariners' Sunday game scheduled for a 3:00pm kick off was put back to 7:00pm because of the heat.

 

[Alan]

Thunderstorm: “Fuck we have to evacuate the stadium everybody scramble!”

112F (in the sun) heat: “Drink some water and get back out there you little bitch.”

 

[Tredman]

Watching the Wafcon and after a full on kick to the head ref has given a yellow card

 

[Del Woppio]

Can you die of cringe? I think I might die of cringe

 

[Tredman]

Wales getting battered, dodgy pen though.

 

[jd1981]

Not much contact but really needless to make a challenge their

Chelsea 2-0 vs PSG, Palmer brace. The lights, colours and stadium are giving me big USA 94 vibes
