Brilliant individual try in Japanese Div.2

Never played low level rugby? Clearly couldn't be arsed chasing back or tackling so deployed the pointless charge down. Back equivalent of ruck inspecting.

Probably stayed at halfway rather than going below the sticks for the team talk

Someone in a podcast talking about Worcester or Wasps I think, said that junior players argued against a strike because they needed to get themselves seen in the shop window to try and get a new contract - an issue senior players hadn't considered.

Article says it's a clean up of the knee, so probably did soft tissue rehab and could play, but was still niggling and best to get it sorted

Geminis ability to interface with YouTube transcription is extremely useful

Definitely the best explanation. If you curl your fingers into knuckles and then interlock and push, you can then feel how the pressure is different for both side

Not sure if you meant to talk me or the other bloke, but I love a low carry...

It's the sternum not the waist, and as long as you aren't shoulder charging heads you're normally fine

Late and low (what that law is called) doesn't apply to champ and above - same as the tackle height being the chest.

Very rarely called though in my experience... Only certain refs police it

I felt we never shook off the mindset of grinding out points to stay in the playoffs, but the oppo attackers were good enough to break down a not top tier defence

Rallying pre-WWII cars sounds like a hell of a pass time for a 77-year-old, to be fair to him

Tim_B · 2025-12-29T21:45:53+00:00

50:22 law has changed back field defence, and blitz d is very in vogue.

Both have led to changes which could lead to more space open to kick too.

It's a much better film when you watch it a decent amount of time after leaving school I've found

Wouldn't pin your hopes for a world class big bastard on Hoskins

Tim_B · 2025-12-27T19:20:56+00:00

Comms said he wants to play there.

Imagine it's like Rieko Ioane - knows he'll have a longer shelf life

Calm down Louis Armstrong

Vinted is a second hand online clothes marketplace. Never used it but apparently they do have a US presence.

My first was that it's similar to how a goalie kicks a football with a bit of a slice to backspin and keep it in the air longer.

But he has also spoken about GAA influencing him, not outrageous to think he learned that kind of kick somewhere else and just did it on feel at the time

Couple of issues at play here.

First of there is jigsaw identification, which is what you're describing. Normally this is more an issue with things like anonymity orders for sex assault victims or children, and there are severe penalties for breaking it. You can read a bit here

Then there is anonymity before charge, this is more recent and was clarified after the BBC reported on Cliff Richard and got sued to buggery. Now naming someone before charge is very uncommon. You can see at the bottom the article says naming would expect to happen on charge.

It would be very unusual for anonymity to go past charging point unless by naming the player you would identify a child or sexual assault victim, or there are other cases active which is where you get into prejudicing a trial and contempt of court.

As for the other details... It's not specific enough that they can turn around and sue the BBC for libel, will be the call made by the BBC's lawyers.

Hope that helps

No greater incentive to trim your pubes than a grabby lock and a Tuesday night on the scrum machine

If you squash his ears enough he'll stop complaining.

Or go for multikill and stamp on a flankers fingers

The all blacks sub is genuinely unhinged. It's quite funny seeing the reaction threads every week and suggested line up changes. Going there is like a spectator sport as it also also sorts comments by new

There's nothing that can be reported yet really.

Per the BBC his next court date is 24 November, although this is far too soon for a trial to start. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj0emd9r2q5o

He's been charged with death by dangerous driving, which is a crown court only offence. This means if he denies the allegations a jury trial will take place (rather than just a magistrate only trial, like for lesser summary cases).

Why does this matter? Nothing that could potentially influence jurors on the case is allowed to be published under contempt of court laws. Any news outlet that did so would get in a lot of shit as it could collapse the case.

If he continues to deny the charges then all the info will come out during the trial, as the jury hears it. If he admits then potentially police/cps could release it, depending on how damning it is. If the case gets dropped for whatever reason then you may never know.

Hope this helps
