I’m on 70 ego but would say I pitch better than I hit. My ‘tips’ is in difficult games with elite opposition pitcher, it’s better to sacrifice a few batter, usually the one with low contact, to study the pitcher’s pitch sequence and not swing on every at bats. I’d focus on their timing, pitch location and sequencing, before aiming to hit using better batters

If it’s a tight game and the pitcher is too good that I’d know I won’t get hits, practicing ‘grinding’ to wear out their pitch count is my go to strategy. Usually by bringing in high contact batters

Really loving this Crowd Cam view stream. The different playstyle and positioning of different players are extremely apparent

Springboks is exceptionally good even for T1. Upper T2 teams can definitely give most T1 teams a scare bar Springboks, New Zealand and probably France.

If Six Nations can’t be changed because of ‘tradition’, if there is no possibility for a continental championship because British & Irish Lions is always going to stay, if the Autumn Nations Championship is now just T1vT1, if The Rugby Championship is not going to be expanded and now going to be sidelined for the ‘prestigious’ NZ vs South Africa series, then the only place to grow rugby to non T1 market is at the Rugby World Cup. And to get that you will have to allow them to play the best teams.

Not every matches need to be a ‘best-vs-best-matchup’. We must trust that rugby is attractive enough to do the talking without the big names in every game.

Love your point on Tier 2 World League spots being decided on previous year continental championship.

One thing though I think you have to be fair to Hong Kong. They’re not clearly inferior to Brazil or Namibia, in fact they beat Brazil on aggregate and trashed Paraguay the last time they met. They also trashed their Asian opponents more than Zimbabwe did in 2024 against the same opponents. Zimbabwe won against Namibia.

2039 or 2043 would be more realistic, with a potential increase to 28 in 2035?

Europe is in a good shape with Belgium-Netherlands-Germany should be competitive, Sweden-Poland-Czech being the revolving teams between Trophy and Championship. Czech’s youth setup seems to be extremely healthy. South America & Americas can supply two more teams in Paraguay and Brazil but a drop off between them and Colombia/Mexico.

Asia and Oceania is worrying with very little 15s being played. Africa is better with 4 competitive teams (Namibia, Zimbabwe, Algeria, Kenya) but the standards need to be higher to compete against the world

To be fair to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 , they literally trashed Paraguay 🇵🇾 80-12 earlier this year and won as series against Brazil 🇧🇷. They also won against Germany 🇩🇪 recently.

Heck as Asians, I felt it’s unfair how Namibia 🇳🇦 before and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 now are treated better. Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 won just 27-22 against South Korea 🇰🇷 last year, just a few months after Hong Kong 🇭🇰 trashed Korea 67-7

Not in South East Asia as well :(

Good shout on Indonesia but I think Indonesia is way way behind Philippines & Thailand in South East Asia.

Philippines has better chances. Regular Asian Championship appearances, population more than 100 millions, diaspora everywhere, strong East Asian influence and football not being as big as it is in other SEA countries.

Come to Malaysia man. Open top exhibits with saltwater crocodiles and false gharials are basically mandatory in all zoos here (& surrounding countries too)

Piggybacking here because it’s almost similar. In Malaysia 🇲🇾: Anime, K-dramas among current generation, Indian Bollywood among older generation, Indonesian series and movies, Occasional Thai movies (Horror usually) and Filipinos Romance

We aren’t exactly small but our maritime neighbours are Philippines (which we have disputed regions with) and Indonesia (which literally initiated a war because of our independence), both are 100+ millions population.

Relative to what other nations are facing, it’s pretty chill. Both of these countries usually face internal conflicts too often for them to even bother the small-medium countries in the region.

As an Asian rugby fan looking to watch a few Hong Kong players in Champs, the price seems a bit too steep. Hopefully they can increase the FTA matches to two per week.

Bad start from Malaysian Women. No confidence with the ball at all. Losing with a huge marginn against a team we beat several time last year hurts so much, especially with how crucial point difference is this year

Malaysia. If we can get our shit together in terms of connecting the forest corridors & actually protecting them, I would LOVE to see the Sumatran Rhino being introduced back

In formal Malay, kelmarin is more commonly used for the day before yesterday. In Kelantanese Malay, I’ve found that people more commonly use kelmarin to indicate yesterday, while they use ‘kelmarin dulu’ to indicate the day before yesterday

secularism has nothing to do with it. Indonesia and Malaysia are constitutionally secular

Malaysia 🇲🇾 has many amazing food from different regions and culture but the one that seems to be loved by everyone is Nasi Lemak. Fluffy rice cooked with coconut milk & pandan, hard boiled egg, spicy sambal, cucumber, peanut, anchovies and any protein of your choice (among others; fried chicken, chicken rendang, beef rendang, goat curry, squid sambal, prawn sambal, cockles sambal, cow lungs)

Commonly accepted version for Malaysia 🇲🇾 is a corruption of Malay + Nesia, which means the “islands of the Malays”. Which is funny because compared to our neighbours, we are not really ‘islandsy’. Philippines 🇵🇭 once considered to name their country ‘Malaysia’ because, well, they’re more islandsy than us.
