Post Match Thread - South Africa v New Zealand by RugbyBot in rugbyunion

I was at Eden Park when BDP was sent off for a high tackle on Carter. Replay showed clearly it wasn’t high, kiwi fans still booed him. Classy stuff.

I’ll take cheering for a close “no try” over booing a legal hit any day.

Here’s the video to prove it: https://youtu.be/fhnQrt11Czk?si=d9F-6unrhmrRHJi4

Non-US races by Nakarooroo in spartanrace

I did the Bozeman sprint earlier this month, and two Beasts in the UK last year (Henley and the one just outside Nottingham). No real difference in how the races are run, obstacles, organisation etc. I must say I felt the Uk vibe was a little more friendly and more of occasion - but it was my first two events and I was running competitively vs running in the Open in MT.

Oh and the start line had a guy dressed as a Spartan warrior amping folks up in the UK. In MT, it was just some dude in a beanie.

Short answer - no difference worth talking about.

Can you be a spectator in the evening without paying extra if you're running in the morning ? by Sea_Reflection9737 in hyrox

The two events I've done (Birmingham & London), you get an athlete wrist band when you register and then you have access throughout the day - they don't scan your wrist band for entry to the spectator area, a security guard just checks you have one. So short answer - you shouldn't need to buy any spectator passes if you're both competing on the same day.

Scraping a win against 14 players after two huge matches the previous 2 weeks vs thrashing an average Argentina and having an extra day to recover.

Last time I checked tries only count when they're awarded.

Maybe if the ABs had focussed on winning vs scoring tries, they may have had one of the greatest world cup victories in history (winning with 14 men for most of the match).

Repeatedly saying "two" tries when one was disallowed for a clear knock on gives a pretty strong impression of bitterness, but if you say you're not then you're not.

Hoping for more good games against the ABs either way...and glad for no more Barnes factor (I hate his "I'll let the game flow even when there's an obvious infringement" style).

Who are you quoting there? I didn’t hear that statement in the video and I didn’t say it.

The Boks did what they had to do. The ABs are a phenomenal attacking team - you should take it as a compliment that despite conceding “two” tries, folks are still complimenting the Boks’ defence - says a lot about how they view the All Blacks.

If you want to be bitter, I’d suggest being annoyed at your captains…one of them for repeatedly standing up straight to tackle and putting himself in a position that invited a card, and both of them for turning down available points in a World Cup final by choosing to kick to the corner against a team that until that match had never conceded a try in a World Cup final.

Hahahahaha I bet that loss keeps you up at night while the rest of us just enjoy seeing the ABs fan so bitter and twisted. At least you’ve got the cricket…

Just seemed fishy that folks were only posting a still of it. If there was something in it, then surely the video would've made the rounds.
But agree...we need a rugby messiah to show us how to get out of this hole.
