What's your take on the rugby mouthguard debate?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan is happy enough with some of his players, including star No 10 Damian McKenzie, not wearing the smart mouthguards introduced for the Super Rugby Pacific season.

McKenzie is in the midst of a 12-day concussion stand-down in the wake of a head knock suffered in last Saturday night’s 56-7 thrashing of the Force in Hamilton, where the issue of the contentious new technology again reared its head.

S Steel Stovetop Cleaning

Marylou from Melville

I am desperate to find someone who is experienced in cleaning a stainless steel stove top.The worst one was when I was making soup(about one and a half hours) and I was using a simmer mat. I have found that if I am using the burner for even an hour I get this pale brown "bloom" which is almost impossible to remove. The pics show that I have got some off but that is using steelo and I can't get around the burner. Please, only give me something that does work, so I don't wreck the thing totally. I can't take my pans off half way through cooking and wipe around, it would be too hot. I'm desperate.
