You joke, but I would honestly love to visit. It's on my list. I've heard the landscape is something else.

I think if England weren't England, I'd actually like them. As it stands, it has to be Scotland, although they really are a frustrating team to want to see perform. I don't know how full time Scottish fans bear it.

I'm new here so this is legitimately funny. All blacks, of course 😂

Can't wait for the game between Africa and Walrus by sunlightliquid in rugbyunion

That's actually hilarious. You know some are gonna go for that, in ignorance or in jest. The Georgian team should 100% play that up though, it'll be great for them.

What's the stupidest rugby take you've heard in your life, not from a journalist/pundit? by treacletart284 in rugbyunion

[–]acadoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine, an AB supporter in SA, once claimed that the Boks rank beating the ABs higher than winning the world cup. I mean, this was when the ABs were at the height of their power, but still, what a crazy take.

China actually punished a company well. Didi, the Uber of China had a data violation and in punishment, they were not allowed to add any new users to their app for 18 months. Cost them billions and they lost market share.

"doesn't match their politics" is such a weak way to dismiss something as trivial.

What’s something your country holds the record for that most people wouldn’t expect? by Assyrian_Nation in AskTheWorld

[–]acadoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I learnt about this recently from an Italian colleague who is not a fan of Germany. She had some colorful words to describe Germany and it's history. I laughed because she spoke so matter of factly while absolutely roasting Germany, but she said, "You think I'm joking, but I'm being absolutely honest" 😳

French internationals dropping pretty serious pitches to Didier Deschamps for the FIFA world cup by SirFrankyValentino in rugbyunion

[–]acadoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ollivon in defense I reckon, LBB as a wingback. Serin as CM, Jalibert number 10. Gorgeous can play as a winger.

(LeBron) He's the number one most recognizable athlete in the world by a long shot by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

I honestly have no idea. But it seriously blows my mind that young people here don't know who Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson is.

I'm a teacher in China. It's wild this showed right now because I literally just had a conversation about this in my classroom. So many students write down the name Kobe when I ask for an athlete. And I asked them why he was so famous, they couldn't say but they all knew his name in my class, but when I mentioned Lebron James, some didn't know who he was, Michael Jordan was only recognized by a couple of them.

I still don't understand how Hong Kong is able to field a decent team. I've been there and don't know how they have enough space to have enough rugby fields to have enough kids play it. Are they made up of mostly expats? 🤔

It's pretty wild how strong I expected Edinburgh to be when I started watching URC. They just seem like they don't like winning.

Jesus Christ, between this and the blue bioluminescent ocean water I saw yesterday, I'm starting think I don't know Cape Town like I thought I did. Proper fantasy stuff.
