Handball is fucking brilliant

There's no VAR involved in this type of handball

I just saw that gigantic San Antonio Spurs basketball player on court a while ago.
Now that is a cheat code.

Wembanyama? He's a physical freak. There's a reason they call him the Alien.

The French have been pumping out basketball talent in recent years.

Used to regularly go to the Honk Kong Sevens….fucking brilliant memories of the rugby and wild nights

Me too mate. HK 7s was an annual occasion for me and was corporate entertainment. I was lucky to visit HK on business 5 or 6 times a year for almost 25yrs. One year I was in a box with Francois Pienaar, Jason Leonard, Jonah Lomuh and Gavin Hastings. On the piss all night, LKF and then Joe Banana’s
