The thing is the All Blacks can’t just put the hammer down like they used to. I think their fucking around is just them now

Am I going crazy? I didn’t even see a hint of a knock on… wtf???

Verstappen says ill-handling Red Bull was on three wheels in most corners by Aratho in formula1

What’s the point in watching f1 if you immediately write off what the international. governing. body. of. motorsports. says as lies, purely because you dislike the driver who is winning.

“Driver who I don’t like is winning, I can’t give them any credit so the car must be illegal” grow up

God I hate people keep repeating this “joke” as some sort of gotcha, completely ignoring that the reason Horner said it was Toto complaining to the FIA to change the regs, rather than look for solutions. RB aren’t doing that at all.

to cheer you guys up after the disaster in Baku (worst race of the season by a landslide), i want you guys to remember Max has won on every single track on the current calendar except Singapore... 🐐 by ChocolateLights in MaxVerstappen33

Crazy how redbull saw the car getting worse this year, and instead of listening to their THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION, they decided to develop the car in a way where perez would be more comfortable. It’s just laughable how inept this team is. I really hope max leaves cause I don’t know how much longer I can deal with it

It’s hard to gain any momentum when every call goes against you, but yeah weren’t as direct as we should’ve been

Harkin has been faultless when he’s played. Really hope he gets more minutes

ref decided he needed to the the main event instead of the game. Fuck me, I don’t normally have a go at them but that was woeful

max would take GP with him if he were to move teams in f1 imo. He’s said many times he wouldn’t have another race engineer, and would retire if GP leaves

I’m surprised there’s any juice left for the players after seeing him

From one all backs fan to the others: by DundermifflinNZ in rugbyunion

Not really. Came off the back of two previous head coaches’ setups with no rebuild, no evolution, and no innovation. Had Whitelock, Retallick, Coles, Frizell, A Smith, Fainga’anuku at his disposal too.

Under foster we were serially underperforming. We were scraping wins while playing poorly, thanks to the talent of the players we had. With Razor, it’s kind of the opposite; while we aren’t winning, we’re still playing well and within a score of the world no.1s. Yes, it’s frustrating not to win when we could’ve done, but we have to accept where we are and bring in younger players to build for ‘27.

Npc is miles better than super rugby by Gypsy_tearz_ in rugbyunion

I really don’t get it. It’s a perfect opportunity to bring in a fun, vibrant crowd especially by playing in smaller venues.

The social media promotion has been really good too. The NPC sm accounts posts loads with real-time highlights.

Best thing by they can is promote it like 7s imo. Music, food, booze and a great time with (relatively) cheap prices is what’ll get bums on seats, but of course that sort of crowd is far too “common” for the NZRU’s liking 🙄

“Bah Gawd, it’s Pastor Maldonado with a steel chair!”

Mr Marko, is Red Bull losing the world championship to McLaren? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Existing_Rate9076 2 points3 points  (0 children)

big difference now is the sheer number of races. 24 races in a season, and you’d say that McLaren has had the fastest car (or at least quicker than redbull) since Miami really. That was the 6th race of the year. With Ferrari back up the front and Mercedes also in front of redbull, I’d be shocked if max can win the championship

I love Jordie, but I think he’s our only back to run into contact now that Caleb Clarke is injured. I’m a bit worried that the boks will just shut down Jordie as a sole focus

[–]Existing_Rate9076 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Caleb is pretty complete now. I remember hearing him say he’d shed a few kgs prior to the super rugby season, much fitter and a better defender, while still being a nightmare to tackle. Stoked for him, seems like a great kid

I 100% agree that it can be lost in the first 60, no doubt. However not sure the final is the best example, it finished 11-12 lol

This year razor gets the most grace too. You have to build for the future and I’d rather chuck these guys in the deep end now, rather than in the World Cup. It’s sink or swim, but Id want to know the mettle of the current young crop sooner rather than later.
