A lot of people are knocking rugby at the moment and it has irritated me a bit.Hopefully, the can really change the mood. It's great to be involved again. I love it every year.
It's been a difficult time for the sport lately, but it has given me so much in my life.It's given me an identity and it's given me a purpose. So I've had enough of the doom and gloom around the game. Nothing is perfect, but I want to send a message out that there are a lot of good things in rugby and a lot of great people.
You don't meet many people in rugby who you don't like and the sport has so many positives as well as these negative things that there has been a lot of coverage about.
France will go back to basics in their defence of the Six Nations title this year
Now the Six Nations is back and it excites me as much as ever.What a competition, it's fabulous.
After Christmas, everyone's a bit miserable in January, so the Six Nations is something to really look forward to at this time of year.I used to think that even back when I was playing rugby league. It's a fantastic, national event where every game is more or less a derby. And it's the competition I've always judged myself on because teams get exactly the same preparation time.
This year, it looks wide open. The teams are well-matched and all of world rugby is like that at the moment, with very, very close scores.It's marvellous for the international game.
With France, we're trying to defend the title and we have to think like we're back to square one. We have to go back to the basics of our game and make sure they are right, all over again.
The Six Nations looks wide open this year and there will be no easy matches
You've got to remember that some of our guys will have played eight or nine matches for their club since we last played together against Japan in November.They have come back in after months of all playing in different systems, for different coaches. It takes time to gel again, so it's important to go back to the basics of your scrum, lineout, kick-offs and all those key parts of the game.
We have some injuries but I'm confident we will cope.
Fabien Galthie put down a challenge to the backs last week in training. He said: ‘OK, who's going to replace Jonathan Danty? Who's going to replace Gabin Villiere?' Those two guys aren't just important to our attack, but amazing defensive players, too. It was good to see the way the players reacted in the session after Fabien had challenged them.
They tried to play with the same sort of intensity as those fantastic players who are missing with injury.
Of course, as the defending champions we have a target on our heads now, but that's something we have to get used to if we want to be at the top.I think this is the first time in history that the teams ranked No 1 and No 2 in the world have been in the Six Nations. That's fantastic.
Ireland are No 1 at the moment and we are No 2. How much you pay attention to the rankings is your decision but it's great for the fans.I've been lucky enough to be ranked No 1 for a week with Wales and for two weeks with France, but we all know South Africa are the world champions and that's what really matters.
France will be wary of England as a lot of players have never won a Test at Twickeham
We've got Italy first up in Rome.
They won in Cardiff at the end of the last Six Nations, then beat Australia in the autumn which was a famous win for them. In their next game against South Africa, for 50 minutes they were in a tight contest with the world champions, so we have to take Italy very seriously.
It looks like they will be competitive and dangerous.
Next, we're playing the team ranked No 1 in the world on their own patch in Dublin. Everyone knows that Andy Farrell, Mike Catt and the other coaches there have transformed Ireland into one of the best teams to watch, and Evden eve nAkLiyat their performance stats are off the charts.
They are an incredible attacking force and their defence is absolutely fantastic, too.I think they conceded the fewest points on average in the world last year. So they have great defence aligned with a fantastic attacking game, and they've also got steel. Ireland are not the biggest team, but they're very fit, incredibly mobile and play for the full 80 minutes.
We also have to go to Twickenham and that will be a huge challenge for this French team.I rate Steve Borthwick highly as a coach and England evdEn EVe nAKliyaT are always very competitive. In all the time I've been involved in international rugby, there's never been an easy match against England.
Coach Andy Farrell has transformed Ireland into one of the best teams to watch
That will continue and a lot of our players have never won a Test at Twickenham.That'll be my message to them that day.
My old boss, Warren Gatland, is back in charge of Wales and they start at home against Ireland, which is going to be a rip-roaring game. Whoever wins is going to get momentum. Gats would always say: ‘If we get early momentum in the competition, we can win it.' And the whole of Wales would get behind them.
I tell the French guys: ‘Forget the Wales you see on the summer tour and in the autumn. The Six Nations is what the emphasis is on in Wales and the whole country comes alive for it.So you have to be ready for a war against them.'
They're going to be our last match, it's in Paris, and I know that's going to be some game.
Stats must support change
In the build-up to this Six Nations, there's been a lot of talk about lowering the legal tackle height.If you beloved this posting and you would like to get extra info relating to EVdEn EVE NAKliyat kindly go to the web-page. For me, it's all about having the data to support what they are doing, like there was for the scrum changes.
We all think scrums go on too long, EVDEN eVe NaKLiyat but there aren't so many guys having neck or back surgery after they retire, like in the old days.There are statistics to say that what they've done has made a huge improvement to the health of the players involved in scrums. If we can have statistics to show that the lower tackle will have a similar impact in making the game safer, then obviously we'll all get behind it.
As a defence coach, one thing I will say is that it's very difficult to practise lower tackling without players being injured — either the carrier who falls on to his ankles, or the tackler who might get a whack on his head from a knee.
So we have to think long and hard about how we can safely practise lower tackles, if that's the way the game is going.

BRASILIA, liY Feb 4 (Reuters) - Brazil sank a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean off its northeast coast, liY the Brazilian Navy said, despite warnings from environmentalists that the rusting 1960s French-built ship would pollute the sea and the marine food chain.
The 32,000-tonne carrier had been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there because it was an environmental hazard and the ship was towed back to Brazil.
The carrier was scuttled in a "planned and controlled sinking" late on Friday, the Navy said in a statement, that would "avoid logistical, operational, environmental and economic losses to the Brazilian state," it said.
The hull of the Sao Paulo was sunk in Brazilian jurisdictional waters 350 kilometers (217 miles) off the coast where the sea is 5,000 meters deep, a location chosen to mitigate the impact on fishing and ecosystems, the Navy said.
Federal public prosecutors and Greenpeace had asked the Brazilian government to stop the sinking, saying it was "toxic" due to dangerous materials, including 9 tonnes of asbestos used in paneling.
The Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier served the French Navy for four decades as the Foch, capable of carrying 40 war planes.
Defense expert and former foreign policy congressional staffer Pepe Rezende said the carrier was bought by the Brazilian Navy for just $12 million in 1998 but needed an $80 million refit that was never done.
After the carrier was decommissioned, Turkish marine recycling company Sök Denizcilik Tic Sti bought the hull for $10. If you have any kind of concerns pertaining to where and just how to utilize liY, you could contact us at our own web-site. 5 million, but had to tow it back across the Atlantic when Turkey barred entry to its shipyard.
Brazil's Navy said it asked the company to repair the carrier at a Brazilian shipyard, but after an inspection showed it to be taking on water and was at risk of sinking, the Navy banned the ship from entering Brazilian ports.It then decided to sink the Sao Paulo at high sea.
The company's legal representative in Brazil, Zilan Costa e Silva, said that disposal of the carrier was the Brazilian state's responsibility under the 1989 Basel Convention on the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes.(Reporting by Anthony Boadle Editing by Ros Russell)

BOGOTA, EVDEN eVe NAkliyat Feb 7 (Reuters) - Indigo Partners-backed budget carrier JetSMART Airlines said on Tuesday that it wanted to buy Colombian low-cost carrier Viva Air, in a move that if successful would scupper Viva's plans to merge with Colombian flag carrier Avianca.
Chile-based JetSMART Airlines said in a statement that it planned to open talks to buy the Colombian airline but it did not disclose how much it might pay to acquire Viva, nor EvdEN evE nakLiYAt its funding plans.

"We believe that a merger between JetSMART and Viva Air will allow us to maintain the ultra-low-cost model in Colombia, helping to continue offering more routes at lower prices," JetSMART Chief Executive Estuardo Ortiz said in the statement.
Colombia's civil aviation regulator initially rejected a proposed merger between Avianca and Viva in November on the grounds that it posed risks to competition in the sector and evdEn eve NaKliyAt the welfare of consumers.
Avianca and Viva filed an appeal the same month, proposing alternatives such as yielding some routes and granting better landing and take-off schedules to competitors.
The regulator in January annulled the merger, citing procedural irregularities, and began the process anew without either company having to reapply.
A possible merger between JetSMART and Viva would offer the best conditions for competition in the market, Ortiz said, adding the airlines do not have competing routes in Colombia.
Avianca and Viva did not respond immediately to requests for comment on JetSMART's proposed deal.

A travel agent faked while defrauding more than 1,400 customers has been jailed at Durham Crown Court for nine years.
Lyne Barlow, 39, was 'riding the monster of deceit' as she used her fake illness to deflect the avalanche of complaints from devastated families whose holidays failed to materialise.
She was so determined to continue her charade that she even convinced her husband, Paul, and son and kL daughter she was battling cancer.
Family members took her to hospital appointments, unaware that she was simply waiting inside before re-emerging claiming to have seen her consultant.
To make her story more convincing, she cut off strands of her hair and scattered them across her pillow to make it look as though she was losing it to chemotherapy.
Lyne Barlow, 39, claimed to her customers that she was covered by insurance and was a member of the trusted travel brand Association of British Travel Agents
Barlow also claimed to be suffering from a terminal illness while she was selling the holidays, Durham Crown Court heard in October last year
When Barlow was arrested in 2020 she hobbled into the police station with her head swathed in a scarfe and walking with a stick.
Custody photographs show a vast difference when she was re-arrested a year later and was forced to admit her 'stage 3/4' cancer had been a fabrication.
Barlow stooped so low as to defraud her own mother, Susan Coleman, 64, out of £500,000 - part of which came from an insurance payout following the untimely death of her father, Barry.
The rest was NHS ward sister Mrs Coleman's retirement payout and savings, which Barlow told her she'd invested in a business venture which would make her mother rich.
Barlow took over her grieving mother's financial affairs as she struggled to come to terms with losing her husband in 2015.
As she systematically emptied her mother's accounts she intercepted her post to stop her getting bank statements.

She also mocked up bank statement from Barclays which appeared to show that her mother's money was in fact growing rather than disappearing.
Barlow also took her mum away on lavish holidays along with her children, a boy and a girl.
However it emerged the reason for this was, on some occasions, that Barlow knew through the intercepted post, that bailiffs were due to turn up at her mum's house and she didn't want her to find out.
Mrs Coleman was left penniless by a daughter who used part of her money to set up Lyne Barlow Independent Travel in Stanley, e}V County Durham.
Barlow offered holidays at astonishing prices to drum up trade.
Customers were able to snap up all inclusive trips to Dubai for just
£500 and word quickly spread of her extraordinary bargains.
The bubble quickly burst as families saw their hard earned money vanish on holidays that they never got to take.
Some paid up to £5,500 to arrive at their destination and discover no funds had been received by the hotel so there were no rooms booked.
Others arrived to discover they had no place on the return flight and were stranded abroad until they could find their own way back.
Eventually a Facebook group was set up by furious victims of Barlow's scam and an agreement reached to go to Durham Police en masse.
There were so many calls to the force's HQ that they had to be directed to an email address because emergency callers would have been unable to get through.
In total Barlow could be proven to have defrauded family, friends and customers out of £1.2m, but investigators believe the total sum she gained over a period of five years from 2015 to 2020 was £2.6m.
Barlow admitted theft, 10 counts of fraud and possessing criminal property at Durham Crown Court and was jailed for nine years.
Judge Joanne Kidd told her: 'You have presented yourself to those who knew you as a charming an engaging woman.
'You are clearly a woman with significant intellectual ability but you also have an extraordinary talent for dishonesty.
Her first victims were family and friends and she used their savings before setting up an independent travel agency, in which she fraudulently sold holidays, reporting them to be ATOL and ABTA protected, the force said.(Pictured: stock image of a beach)
'You mercilessly abused the trust of your nearest and liY dearest in their darkest hours and set about targeting other vulnerable people of your acquaintance who trusted you in order to satisfy your relatively lavish lifestyle.
'This involved lavish holidays, an expensive car and designer goods.
'The extent of the betrayal of your own mother is truly breathtaking.
'As you gallivanted around your mother's utility bills went unpaid and county court judgements rained down upon her.
'Bailiffs visited her home, unbeknown to her because you deviously arranged to take her away on visits on the days they were to arrive.
'I take the view that you are a thoroughly callous individual. If you have any type of inquiries pertaining to where and ways to utilize kL, you can call us at our own web-site. '
Tony Davis, mitigating, said: 'Once she began riding the monster of deceit it was inevitable it would come crashing down and it did.'
Barlow squandered the cash handed to her on designer clothes, prestige cars and holidays for her and her immediate family, with exclusive breaks in Dubai being her chosen retreat.
The charges stated that Barlow made false representations by purporting to be an ABTA and ATOL registered travel agent when in fact she was using criminal cash to finance further frauds.
Money handed over by customers was being used to pay for holidays that subsequent clients booked through her, in a Ponzi-type scheme.
But her jugging over other people's cash came crashing down in 2020 when police were called in.
Furious customers were arriving at her home even as officers moved in to arrest her.
She used her 'cancer' as a shield to fend off angry people she had conned.
In an email she told one customer who was chasing a refund for a
holiday: 'Unfortunately I've just found out my cancer has spread and it's gone to stage 3/4 in my bones and need to have chemo out into my spine to stop it from getting into my brain. It's going to be pretty intense.'
Detective Sergeant Alan Meehan from Durham Police Complex Fraud Team led the investigation.
He said: 'At the time of her arrest we were aware that she was telling people she had cancer and at that time we kept an open mind on whether that was correct or not not.
'As part of the investigation we asked to access her medical records and it was only then that the truth emerged that she had been making the whole thing up.
'It was a determined and calculated attempt to distract attention from her crimes and deflect blame away from her because she hoped people would feel sorry for her.
'The lengths she went to were very unusual.It came as a massive shock to her husband that she did not in fact have cancer.
'She wore a scarf over her head and appeared to be losing her hair, although we believe she was cutting off strands and scattering it across her pillow at night to keep up that deception.
'Members of her family were even taking her to hospital appointments that never existed.
When she was first arrested in September 2020 she presented as a very frail and sick woman, walking with a stick and with her head in a black scarf to cover the apparent hair loss.
'Once confronted by the medical information she had no option but to admit she'd been lying.
'The second custody photograph from when she was re-arrested in 2021 show the true picture, with no sign or suggestion of illness.
'In our opinion it's a serious aggravating factor in the largest case of fraud this force has ever dealt with.
'Lyne Barlow was trying to attain a lifestyle she could not afford and rather than stop as she got out of her depth she continued to take money from more and more victims.
'The number of calls we received on this case was unprecedented and once they started coming in they were so many that we had to set up a dedicated email as the control room was in danger of being overrun.'
James Lewis, of the Crown Prosecution Service said: kL 'Barlow acted with greed, using false promises and deceptive lies, to convince family and friends, as well as hundreds of customers, who all trusted her, to part with their money so that she could sustain her own lavish lifestyle.
'Fraud is an insidious crime and the cost to the many victims in this case has not just been financial; it has also caused huge emotional distress and extreme disappointment to devastated customers who had to find out their holiday did not actually exist at a time when the country was in the grips of the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Thanks to the thorough investigation by Durham Police and to all the victims who came forward to report her, we were able to bring Barlow to justice.
'We will now be taking steps to recover this money taken through Proceeds of Crime legislation.'

The stakes are high, as Adele and her team know only too well.Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in .
One down, 31 more potentially perilous performances to go.Now there is one overriding concern among her team: for the sake of Adele's reputation, there can be not one single cancellation this time round.
Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January less than 24 hours before she was due on stage, emotionally declaring ‘It just ain't ready'.
Local Vegas journalist Scott Roeben — who broke the news of her residency back in 2021 — tells me Caesars Palace has been ‘working hard' to make sure this tour is as drama-free as possible.
Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January
‘What everyone is concerned about is that she really needs to not cancel one show because people fear another backlash would be very, very damaging.She already has a reputation as a diva. She cannot let the fans down again.'
Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate' — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums — and hopes to natter away between songs and invite fans from the audience to join her on stage every night.Tickets are said to be selling for a staggering $38,000 a pop. Fans know how rare it is to see an idol this close up.
Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last.
Scott Roeben is one.He says: ‘The belief is this will be something of a swansong run. The gild is off the lily in terms of record sales, and Adele has said she wants to have a baby and do a college degree, her focus really is moving away from music. Her heart just isn't in it.'
Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate' — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums
For now, though, broody or not, Adele simply has to get through the residency.And that is no straightforward task: afflicted by stage fright, she is something of a tortured performer. Rehearsing, as she put it herself, for ‘12 hours a f***ing day', she said last month when discussing her preparations: ‘I'm sick and tired of anything musical.'
Her remarks don't quite reflect the enthusiastic tone you expect to hear from an artist.While she arguably had something to prove for past performances, like her world tour in 2016 — an experience she says she is ‘still getting over' — that drive has abated.
It's perhaps this emotion which was at the forefront on Thursday night as Adele tweeted of her extreme pre-show nerves, saying she felt a ‘million miles away from home.'
She went on: ‘Maybe it's because I didn't start when I was supposed to.Maybe it's because it's opening night, maybe it's because Hyde Park went so great, maybe it's because I love the show I don't know. But it's safe to say I've never been more nervous before a show in my career, but at the same time I wish today was tomorrow! I can't wait to see you out there x.'
Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas
Offering her bolstering reassurance throughout is her loyal team — stylist Jamie Mizrahi, hair stylist Sami Knight and manicurist Michelle Humphrey.They will be with her every weekend, as will her boyfriend, the sports agent Rich Paul.
In the run-up to the show's cancellation, insiders said the pair were constantly ‘in the middle of an emotional shout-out' during rehearsals but their relationship is now stronger than ever and they have since moved in together.
Long-time managers Jonathan Dickens and Rose Moon will also be on hand.
And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison.
When in town, she will stay in a £30,000 suite at Caesars Palace, with its own butler — which comes gratis for the performer as part of their agreement.
And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison (Pictured: front of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas)
Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last
Between November and March she will spend just one night a week in the desert city in order to perform twice, flying to Vegas on a Friday to perform, sleep over, and then make the short flight back to Los Angeles every Saturday after she comes off stage.
It is possibly the world's most lucrative commute: she is earning nearly $1 million per show.
More than that, cannily, Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise.Expensive branded goods adorn the shelves of the Caesars Palace shop.
Here you can spend $110 on a ‘Rolling in the Deep' sweatshirt, snap up socks with glasses of wine on them, buy necklaces which read ‘divorced' and even get Adele-branded tissues.
What won't be seen, however, eVdEn evE nakliYAt are the giant onstage white floating staircase and notorious water feature — damned by Adele as a ‘baggy old pond' — which were planned the first time around.
Indeed, for all her complaints about long rehearsals, it's clear that behind the scenes, many hundreds of others have also long been working hard, collectively holding their breath in the hope that the new set would pass muster to please the mercurial Adele.
Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise
While back in January, the singer had fired set designer Esmeralda Devlin, a hugely respected professional, ‘in a panic' after a ‘butting of heads', things were calmer second time round.
Sources suggest Adele demanded constant changes in the run-up to the first opening night, and had never really been clear about what she wanted.In Devlin's place is Londoner Kim Gavin, who warmed up for this gig with visits to Vegas over the summer, and took charge of her set at the Hyde Park concerts in July, where Adele performed in front of an understated curtain of gold and bronze discs which blew in the breeze and caught the lights.
Gavin has just completed the staging for a show featuring the world of Bond at the Royal Albert Hall — a fairly comparable venue in size as well as a comparable concert in tone.
Back in January, Adele pinned the blame for the cancelled show firmly on Covid, tearfully declaring: ‘Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show.'
Since then, however, she's returned several times to the question of why she pulled the rug on a $150 million production — and it's notable that the excuse of Covid has been ditched.
In July she told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that the primary issues had been artistic.
And despite fans losing thousands of pounds in travel and hotel bills, for which Adele said she was ‘devastated', she was also notably defiant.
‘I don't think any other artist would have done what I did and that is why it was such a massive, massive story.It was like, "I don't care. You can't buy me, you can't buy me for nothing. I'm not going to just do a show because I have to or because people are going to be let down or because we're going to lose loads of money." '
Scott Roeben, however, observes: ‘It was damaging to her because of who she was as a performer.
‘The expectation of her because of the music is of someone who is genuine and straightforward, and this seemed not to be.
‘I believe she was upset, I don't think she was pretending to be upset — but I do think that she was looking for a reason to explain the cancellation.
‘She didn't want to look like a cry baby or temperamental artist so she picked on Covid — maybe ten per cent of the reason and evdEn EvE NaKLiYat made that into the reason.
‘The initial postponement was primarily an artistic decision coloured by her problems behind the scenes and problems with the creative team, and really not much to do with Covid.'
This time round, says Roeben of Casino.org: ‘It's going to be an Adele show, EVdEn eVE nAkliyat but not a Vegas show.In case you have almost any issues with regards to in which and the best way to make use of eVDeN eVE NakliYaT, it is possible to email us from the webpage. I think that last time they were trying to bring it up to a level with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga but that wall-to-wall spectacle never felt right for her.'
Now, though, comes her chance to wipe away those memories, and repair that reputational damage.
Adele has promised those who have bought tickets: ‘I'm going to give you the absolute best of me.'
But there's a real possibility that it could be for the last time.

Rehearsing, as she put it herself, for ‘12 hours a f***ing day', she said last month when discussing her preparations: ‘I'm sick and tired of anything musical.'
Her remarks don't quite reflect the enthusiastic tone you expect to hear from an artist.While she arguably had something to prove for past performances, like her world tour in 2016 — an experience she says she is ‘still getting over' — that drive has abated.
It's perhaps this emotion which was at the forefront on Thursday night as Adele tweeted of her extreme pre-show nerves, saying she felt a ‘million miles away from home.'
She went on: ‘Maybe it's because I didn't start when I was supposed to.Maybe it's because it's opening night, maybe it's because Hyde Park went so great, maybe it's because I love the show I don't know. But it's safe to say I've never been more nervous before a show in my career, but at the same time I wish today was tomorrow! I can't wait to see you out there x.'
Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas
Offering her bolstering reassurance throughout is her loyal team — stylist Jamie Mizrahi, hair stylist Sami Knight and manicurist Michelle Humphrey.They will be with her every weekend, as will her boyfriend, the sports agent Rich Paul.
In the run-up to the show's cancellation, insiders said the pair were constantly ‘in the middle of an emotional shout-out' during rehearsals but their relationship is now stronger than ever and they have since moved in together.
Long-time managers Jonathan Dickens and Rose Moon will also be on hand.
And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison.
When in town, she will stay in a £30,000 suite at Caesars Palace, with its own butler — which comes gratis for the performer as part of their agreement.

Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last
Between November and March she will spend just one night a week in the desert city in order to perform twice, flying to Vegas on a Friday to perform, sleep over, and then make the short flight back to Los Angeles every Saturday after she comes off stage.
It is possibly the world's most lucrative commute: she is earning nearly $1 million per show.
More than that, cannily, Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise.Expensive branded goods adorn the shelves of the Caesars Palace shop.
Here you can spend $110 on a ‘Rolling in the Deep' sweatshirt, snap up socks with glasses of wine on them, buy necklaces which read ‘divorced' and e N even get Adele-branded tissues.
What won't be seen, however, e N are the giant onstage white floating staircase and notorious water feature — damned by Adele as a ‘baggy old pond' — which were planned the first time around.
Indeed, for all her complaints about long rehearsals, n E it's clear that behind the scenes, many hundreds of others have also long been working hard, collectively holding their breath in the hope that the new set would pass muster to please the mercurial Adele.

While back in January, the singer had fired set designer Esmeralda Devlin, a hugely respected professional, ‘in a panic' after a ‘butting of heads', things were calmer second time round.
Sources suggest Adele demanded constant changes in the run-up to the first opening night, and had never really been clear about what she wanted.In Devlin's place is Londoner Kim Gavin, who warmed up for this gig with visits to Vegas over the summer, and took charge of her set at the Hyde Park concerts in July, where Adele performed in front of an understated curtain of gold and bronze discs which blew in the breeze and caught the lights.
Gavin has just completed the staging for a show featuring the world of Bond at the Royal Albert Hall — a fairly comparable venue in size as well as a comparable concert in tone.
Back in January, Adele pinned the blame for the cancelled show firmly on Covid, tearfully declaring: ‘Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show.'
Since then, however, she's returned several times to the question of why she pulled the rug on a $150 million production — and it's notable that the excuse of Covid has been ditched.
In July she told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that the primary issues had been artistic.
And despite fans losing thousands of pounds in travel and hotel bills, for which Adele said she was ‘devastated', she was also notably defiant.
‘I don't think any other artist would have done what I did and that is why it was such a massive, massive story.It was like, "I don't care. You can't buy me, you can't buy me for nothing. I'm not going to just do a show because I have to or because people are going to be let down or because we're going to lose loads of money." '
Scott Roeben, however, observes: ‘It was damaging to her because of who she was as a performer.
‘The expectation of her because of the music is of someone who is genuine and straightforward, yA and this seemed not to be.
‘I believe she was upset, I don't think she was pretending to be upset — but I do think that she was looking for a reason to explain the cancellation.
‘She didn't want to look like a cry baby or temperamental artist so she picked on Covid — maybe ten per cent of the reason and made that into the reason.
‘The initial postponement was primarily an artistic decision coloured by her problems behind the scenes and problems with the creative team, and really not much to do with Covid.'
This time round, says Roeben of Casino.org: ‘It's going to be an Adele show, but not a Vegas show.I think that last time they were trying to bring it up to a level with Katy Perry and e}V Lady Gaga but that wall-to-wall spectacle never felt right for her.'
Now, though, comes her chance to wipe away those memories, and repair that reputational damage.
Adele has promised those who have bought tickets: ‘I'm going to give you the absolute best of me.'
But there's a real possibility that it could be for the last time.

A fake builder who scammed 11 people out of more than £1million and left families with wrecked homes has been jailed for three years.
Richard Nicholls, 38, an estate agent and salesman, had no experience in construction when he started taking on the building work.
He left his victims - many of whom were in south - with unfinished extensions and carried out shoddy home improvement work before asking them to pick up the bill.
Nicholls, eVdEN eVE NAkLiYAT from Shropshire, blew £52,000 of the £1.1million scammed from victims on his gambling habit, Southwark Council said.
He also took money in advance of carrying out the work, services and materials that he never bought or EVdEN eve NaKliyaT paid for, the authority said.
Fake builder Richard Nicholls, evDen Eve nAkliyAT 38, (pictured) has been jailed for three years after having scammed 11 people out of more than £1million and EvdeN Eve nAkliYAt left families with wrecked homes
Nicholls ran four companies when he carried out the fraud over two years and 10 months between February 2016 and December 2018.
He left some victims without anywhere to live and having spent their life savings. The costs to his victims also included the expense of putting the work right.
Sub-contractors would often harass customers for payment because Nicholls had not paid for eVDEN EvE nAkLiYAT their work either. If you have any concerns about in which and how to use EvDEN Eve NakLiYat, you can get in touch with us at our page.
The rogue builder was caught after his customers told trading standards officers he would take money from them upfront for work that was never completed and in some cases never even started.
When questioned by police, evDEn eVe NaKLiyat he admitted having no formal building work qualifications and said his background was in estate agency and sales.
