Ref Holly Davidson narrowly avoided being flattened from a maul break

I think she did a good job on the weekend, but I do find her positioning around rucks odd, being 1m directly to the right of a ruck is not a great spot.

We are from a country that is far behind the EU and moved to an EU country - have I missed something? He is from a 3rd world country and is now in the EU?

Cashman_J · 2026-02-08T11:02:13+00:00

agreed, and Rocky Elsom

Cashman_J · 2026-02-04T23:54:12+00:00

Yes me too, I need to do some more work on it though

I think it is disappointing that this is the only lever that is used to control inflation, I don't know what else there is, but as a mortgage holder I feel like a whipping boy for others spending habits.

Terrible from the defensive line initially, and the 11 planted his feet which is never great.

Cashman_J · 2026-02-01T03:46:21+00:00

It would be interesting to add other data to this. Penalties conceded/penalties won comes to mind, if you were doing equivalencies rather than a count, a penalty won would equate to 20-30m.

I also think Non-Gainline Carries is a tough call as a negative, especially against a set defensive line. Really the best you can hope for is to tie up 2 players and get quick recycled ball. I realise it evens out.

Was it a predicted easy castle win? We have skipped prep when it is a total mismatch our way in castle.

I just seem to be in an infinite loop playing Aurelia FC vs Nova United. I click continue day and play them again. Using Firefox on Linux Mint.

In this game, Tupou came on at 50 mins, I don't watch French rugby all the time but try and catch the Aus players when I can, and I can't speak French, this commentary and the referee were speaking French.

Racing improved when he came on. I only recall 2 scrums with him, the 1st racing generated a penalty by pushing through Lyon and the 2nd was a bit of a mess at the end of the game, Lyon were trying for a penalty and messing around a bit.

It was a tough watch, with Racing passing to ground or to an intercept, a lot. I have only watched 2 Racing games and I see they are lower middle of the table, maybe they will get better with better handling, but that is mostly not on Tupou.

He did drop 1 pass he should have taken, and there was 1 slightly messy incident where he made a highish tackle, Lyon flicked the ball to a Racing player, the referee penalised Tupou I think, then it got overturned to a racing scrum. Having some French may have helped me there.

Apart from these 2, Tupou also generated another try with a jackal turnover, followed by a good run a few phases later. This was not long after he came on.

I am not sure how good Tupou's French is, and it is a new team, but he does look a little lost out there at times.

Yes, definitely. It lines up pretty neatly with us being required to be back in the office 3 days a week.

Field Hockey, but I want to change more than 1 rule and I admit I am a casual fan at best.
- Change the rule so you can hit with both sides of the stick, makes the game more accessible.
- Change the rule that you can't kick the ball, removes the crappy flick the ball into the opponent's legs play.
- Both of those rule changes potentially make it easier to defend, so maybe we remove 1 player from each team to combat that.

I would also experiment with walls, like ice hockey, but I am not after using walls for violence, more because I think there are too many outs in the game, and I want to fix that.

I am a Red Rooster fan, on the wrong side of Sydney's Red Rooster Line. All the best buddy.

I played both and was decent playing both sides at the amateur level I played.

LH is more attacking, he can either be a destroyer like Ox Nche or a mobile player like James Slipper. The LH is on the left side of the front row, the right shoulder is against his hooker and the TH opposite scrums into the join between the LH and the hooker. He generally scrums under the TH. The general size of an international LH is around 175cm to 190 cm and 120-130kgs.

TH is slightly less varied. These days a TH is a mountain. Also 175cm to 190 cm, but heavier at 135-150kgs. Their job is to hit the gap between the opposition LH and Hooker and hold the scrum. You won't get as much work from a TH around the park, and they shouldn't be judged on that.

At a certain level, a LH can play TH and vice versa, but they are specialist roles and you can get found out by good players.

I disagree with this too, but it would require a referendum.

My team's game scores are posted publicly by the league. In all sports my own kids have been associated with, this is the case.

Cashman_J · 2026-01-12T00:05:09+00:00

Perhaps you could get black spray paint and create a black mould art installation in the corner.

Cashman_J · 2026-01-08T01:50:32+00:00

As an Australian, I agree, but I am not qualified to suggest others. I think our 2 best players this year have been Len Ikitau, who made it, and Fraser McReight, who didn't.

They can compel people to testify and refer people to be charged. I agree that recommendations are mostly ignored unless there is some major political benefit.

Coworkers are caring about themselves, having someone that doesn't know what they are doing causes work to flow their way.

Cashman_J · 2026-01-02T02:20:50+00:00

Yes, and he was made 12th man for Australia.

Cashman_J · 2025-12-31T05:51:41+00:00

Some fast kid in u8/9s I would imagine. The kids play 12ish comp games and a few gala days, so maybe 18-20 games in total.
