A draft bill meant to protect independent workers and improve their quality of life has unsettled online food delivery platforms as they are concerned about higher costs and having to pass the burden onto customers.
Scotland
With star players Stuart Hogg, Jonny Gray and Finn Russell all returning to the fold, this is the most talented Scotland side since the turn of the century
There was a sense of ‘what next?’ when Scotland bowed out of the 2019 World Cup in the group stages. Gregor Townsend, who masterminded Glasgow Warriors’ renaissance, was not fulfilling his potential as Scotland head coach. There had been baby steps in changing Scotland’s attacking DNA, but few huge strides. Progress in the last year of international rugby has been hampered by a spate of injuries. However, with star players Stuart Hogg, Jonny Gray and Finn Russell all returning to the fold, this is the most talented Scotland side since the turn of the century. Expect fireworks in the Calcutta Cup, and the Scots to give the Auld Enemy a run for their money.
France
If the French combine their mercurial attacking talents, sound basics and effective strategy, they will be a force to be reckoned with in this Six Nations and beyond
Just before the Autumn Nations Cup Final against England, French club sides triggered a contractual clause to recall of France’s star players from international duty. This left France with a B-team for the tournament’s showpiece event. Pundits predicted them to be thrashed, yet, when the full-time whistle blew at Twickenham, Les Bleus could feel aggrieved by a three-point, extra-time defeat. The team that day was largely comprised of winners of the last two U20 World Cups, and popular coach Fabien Galthié is expected to blood more youngsters this Six Nations – all three of their fly-halves are under 21. If the French combine their mercurial attacking talents, sound basics and effective strategy, they will be a force to be reckoned with in this Six Nations and beyond.
