Embarrassing Champions Cup results prove rugby has to clean up calendar mess

2 weeks ago | sports.yahoo.com | Brian Moore

It was a good weekend for the French and Irish teams in last weekend’s Investec Champions Cup and an equally poor one, Northampton Saints aside, for the English and South African sides. It is still precipitous to choose eventual winners but there is little serious money being bet on teams from outside the two first-mentioned countries. What does this say about the quality of club rugby in England, or South Africa for that matter?
Why I have had enough of listening to the RFU rebels

Remember this phrase? "Respect the will of the people and get behind your country". Of course that was about Brexit, but it could equally apply to the recent failed vote of no-confidence in the Rugby Football Union's chief executive officer Bill Sweeney. Will the defeated individuals pursue this course of action? It seems not, as there are already rumours of persistent further motions until one succeeds. Here are some facts to counter the months of damaging spin.
It is too soon for Henry Pollock to become the Lions bolter

Bentley was first capped by England in 1988. I know that because I was on the same tour, and he then switched codes and signed for Leeds and even played at my home-town team of Halifax for five seasons. In a league career that lasted eight years he played for Great Britain and in 261 games scored 166 tries. When he returned to union via Newcastle, he was a relative unknown to union fans outside England, only because he had been plying his trade in waters unfamiliar to them.

Employees of federal contractors are no longer entitled to special federal minimum wage rates for work performed on, or associated with, certain federal contracts.

Steve Borthwick is here to stay - but issues need fixing for England to be World Cup contenders

1 month ago | sports.yahoo.com | Brian Moore

Steve Borthwick, England’s head coach, will have mixed feelings about the almost-imminent British and Irish Lions tour to Australia. He will be pleased that his team’s second place in this year’s Six Nations will have bolstered the selection case for many of his charges. On the other hand, I am sure he would have preferred to have his entire squad available for England’s summer tour to Argentina.

England’s opening three matches of this year’s Six Nations against Ireland, France and Scotland could only be more challenging if they had to play one, instead of two, at home, at Allianz Stadium. That there is pressure is almost so obvious as not to be worthy of comment.
England have developed a losing habit and there’s no guarantee that will change

Nov 17, 2024 | aol.co.uk | Brian Moore

Fans of the Wachowski siblings’ iconic film series understand that deja vu represents a glitch in the Matrix, a small but puzzling occurrence that has no logical explanation. England’s rugby fans must have been experiencing something similar after their team stumbled from a promising position to lose to a South African side that saw out the game even though they were a man down in the final stages.
IRS Issues Final Rules On Intangible Property Repatriations

Nov 4, 2024 | mondaq.com | Brian Moore

With the allure of tax incentives for foreign derived intangible income and an increase in foreign audits scrutinizing transfer pricing, bringing intellectual property (IP) back to the United States is increasingly attractive. Newly issued final IP repatriation regulations make the tax consequences of repatriating previously offshored IP more predictable and eliminate the risk of potential double taxation.
