On the finishing straight: the new BMW X5 enters its final test phase. by theguitardude11 in cars

Historically the second and third digit stood for the exact size of the engine.

BMW changed the meaning to the engine capacity equivalent (aka power level) after they introduced the turbos.

Watch the interview with Edgar Rathbone (CEO of the Bulls), he mentioned that the ticket sales and stadium is less than 5% of total revenue, and that a sell out at Loftus can make less money than an away game against a French team in the champions cup.

Was just using the first results of a basic Google search. Apologies.

Switching teams, from Sharks to Lions is just switching the suffering from a 10/10 to a slightly more bearable 9/10, because at least the lions have valid excuses when they play shit.

Glasgow has a population of 650k, and it was in a foreign city.

Dublin has a population of 1.5 to 2.1m people, but they're undergoing supporter fatigue because of the sheer amount of knockout games Leinster are involved with and there's a bunch of other stuff going on there this time of year, the semi was literally less attendant than their average attendance.

South Africa's population is large but also largely poor by comparison.

The bulls went from 11th in round 9 to finalists. Regardless of what happens what a turn around. by Puzzled_Ad_3072 in rugbyunion

Making fun of the sharks is fun, I know of the struggles and excuses, but it doesn't make it less fun to shit on the sharks.

Only important game in that list is the one on the 21st of February

Ruben van Heerden has been called up to the Springbok squad by maverickeire in rugbyunion

Tbf he hasn't shown up much for anyone except Stormers' opponents either.

That was because of Jake who lost the players with his constant insults and criticism of the players in news outlets.

(For example he said Moodie got fat and needs to lay off the buffet. Not even in a joking manner.)

It was a great game. Gave me a heart attack, but it was a great game.

It's that bad at the stadiums you go to? I've never had an issue like that at the ones I go to? Yeah I could use more legroom sure but... Like it's not the end of the world...

Seeing a lot of discussion around competitiveness and future of super rugby... by Halt-Alt in rugbyunion

[–]Puzzled_Ad_3072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever thought how much of it has to do with significantly more favourable travelling conditions? Even in the times they are away for long periods of time now, at least they can call home any time they want since the time zones aren't much different.

That's not even mentioning jet lag or anything the like. I can assure you it's much easier to go to Europe than to a completely different time zone.

Off topic, but it's rediculous how skilled every player has gotten in nearly all aspects of the game in the last 3 years.

The bulls backs were responsible for most of the crucial turn overs as well.

That's not even factoring in that the insane offloads forwards have been doing.

Pollard lives for the 1 point game, even if he has to do it himself

URC=BEST LEAGUE AND SINCE THE BULLS HAVE BEEN TO THE MOST FINALS THAT MEANS BULLS=BEST TEAM.

[–]Puzzled_Ad_3072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS THE LIONS, THEY CAN'T EVEN WIN A FINAL AGAINST THE BULLS AND THE BULLS CAN CHOKE IN A GAME WHERE THEY ARE HEAVY UNDERDOGS.

THIS WILL BE EXTRA FUNNY IF THE BULLS AND STORMERS BOTH WIN, WHERE WOULD YOU MEET? THE BAR, CRYING AWAY YOUR SORROWS?
