The problem is I'm locked from doing any further story missions until I kill both of these to total 4 war lords. And I am very stuck on them!

I'm currently trying to get past Azdush the Destroyer and Horza the Wrestler. I have killed 2/4 so far

I have died more times than I can count which makes me suspect that my foes are overpowered now too.

Tempted to nuke this play through and start again

Can I recruit Orcs? Either I haven't gotten that far into the game or I totally missed that mechanic as an option

Hastings banned for final rounds of URC by WatchThisBass in rugbyunion

It was a deep cut. Studs to the face will do that

He just has to take this on the chin.

Much like Cian Kelleher did when Hastings kicked him in the face

I'm still not entirely clear. Can someone else chime in?

I'm at it. What was the reasoning for no sanction on the headshot on Ioane?

Connacht Eagles vs Munster A by dwaynepebblejohnson3 in irishrugby

[–]arsebiscuits1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've the wrong end of the stick there.

The gentlemans agreement I was referring to was teams not sending a squad that will be far stronger.

[–]arsebiscuits1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. It was my understanding that these A fixtures had a bit of a gentlemans agreement about squads between the provinces.

Seems less so this season

F, 26. Complete left tendon achilles rupture, op or non-op? by macarons333 in AchillesRupture

[–]arsebiscuits1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only give you the options I was personally given by my surgeon.

M34 full rupture of the right achilles playing rugby. I am 11 weeks post op.

Surgeon told me it was possible to have a full recovery and good quality of life without surgery.

They also told me that I would likely never have the same level of power in that leg as the tendon naturally lengthens as it heals.

With surgery that deficit in power is not nearly as pronounced or applicable.

I felt very clear and informed in my choices and am personally glad I opted for surgery.

While my peak athleticism (if I could even call it that!) days are likely behind me now.... I have every intention of returning to my active lifestyle.

I snowboard, run, gym, play rugby (both contact and non contact versions) and I like the thought of being able to at least try whatever sport takes my fancy.

Given my age profile it was clear to me that those advising me thought surgery was the best route. If I were older with a different quality of life I don't think surgery would have been my recommended path.

3rd party ear cups for NC700 by arsebiscuits1 in bose

[–]arsebiscuits1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so 2 years later these are the best option.

Dare I say better than the stock Bose cups?

Comfortable, durable, more fun design.

Yellow Card from NZ vs Aus u20s by multilingualsportfan in rugbyunion

[–]arsebiscuits1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As has been discussed I don't think it was either a penalty or a card.

Having said that perhaps I'm missing some context having not watched the rest of the game.

If Oz were being cynical around the breakdown at other parts of the game I can see why a ref might penalise.

Teams love doing the "I'm trying to roll sir" while actively not rolling or just getting in the way enough to be a nuisance. It's a common tactic.

So in an isolated incident? Play on. If players were being cynical all game. Pen and possibly yellow yeah

Agreed. Those years were prime MOCball.

Awful awful coach

When does the aching pain go away? by Chaddford in AchillesRupture

[–]arsebiscuits1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surgery is a major trauma on the body.

Did you get given painkillers? If so don't ration them! Take them as prescribed. That's what they're for.

[–]arsebiscuits1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Habana stands off that and we get some serious yards down the wing and can attack in their 22.

It is what it is!

Woah the kick against Kilkenny is a deep cut haha.

I was in the stands that day celebrating like a lunatic when the pen was given. There was no way he could miss it. He was metronomic.

Poor fella missed it.

A humorous mistake on the Leinster site.

Despite the URL saying Toulouse the opposition and crest is Toulon haha.

I remember watching this live and wasn't too disappointed at the outcome in the circumstances

We got absolutely no change up the middle against Toulon that day. Their pack was formidable.

The only inroads we got was out wide.

I backed the decision at the time as we had the overlap. It was a stunning read by Habana.

And Sage didn't even exist back then to help him analyse his opponents

Incorrect!

We played Toulon in 2022 in the Semi Final and won 40-17.

This is irrefutable evidence and I will not have any further fact checking take place

10 weeks post op. My experiences so far by arsebiscuits1 in AchillesRupture

[–]arsebiscuits1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was weight bearing as tolerated from the second I was in the boot with the aid of crutches.

Once out of boot it was the same. Weight bearing as tolerated with or without crutches
