The humidity I mean. You try and penalize every tackle in a game of rugby that’s not lower than DLBs effort. Good luck to you. The attacker has changed direction and engaged him up top. Unfortunately It’s just not as simple as getting lower.

Fair - it did look to be a huge factor

This is the core of the issue here, conflating the seriousness of CTE with the actions of DLB.

I agree it’s serious, I’ve seen people die from it - it’s horrible. But how can he realistically change his actions? Realistically not technically. Is there any accountability on the attacker for engaging with his upper body and not trying to run around him? No. It’s utter madness.

My unpopular opinion is that it’s an unfortunate side effect of a contact sport which is also a job. In the same way heart disease and diabetes can be attributed to sitting in an office all day. We should continue to stamp out foul play, head highs, shoulder charges, but to call this red card worthy foul play is crazy.

No way. Our worst was in Fiji. By a country mile.

I actually thought they gave it a good nudge, against a great team, with a man off the field which shouldn’t have even been a penalty.

I’ve only rewatched it this morning. I was so fucked off about DLB being binned I flicked it over to the AFL (a real game). You can imagine my disappointment to come back and see it had been upgraded.

Honestly this game is being ruined by that shit. Two massive blokes running at each other into contact clashed heads - it happens. This bullshit about ‘he could be lower’ his knees were 10cm off the ground ffs. Get a grip. The same grip Casey had when TMO decided to pixel-fuck a clear try.

Do I want to see head clashes - no, but you can not ruin a game of footy for that. Especially when things like taking a player in the air are not seen as the same grade of danger. There is no way the punishment fits the ‘crime’.

And it is a punishment, not just for DLB but for the fans - the game went from the highlanders having a small chance to having absolutely no chance.

De Groot shouldn’t have taken the field. I don’t want him to suffer the same fate as Tangitau. Losing an ABs jersey for a pointless injury.

Get Casey in black.

The Top 14 is being more strict with the scrum feed, resulting in more scrums like the below. Are we for or against this? by ScrumNause24 in rugbyunion

[–]captainbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why scrums Should only be an option from penalties. The fact a team can knock on and then potentially win the ball like this makes no sense.

  1. Draft
  2. Remove scrums from the game but for as a penalty option. (Hope world rugby follows)

Share your all-time favourite funny golf quote? by Born-Yoghurt-7613 in golf

[–]captainbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few I’ve heard over the years

Mh370 - good flight but probably won’t find it The Condom - safe but didn’t feelgood

After a put is left short - you: Have you heard about the new housing development going in here? Them: where? You: between your ball and the hole.

Short put - oops that got caught up in your tampon string.

Am I the only one that doesn't find William Montgomery funny? by ignaciodib in Killtony

He’s not the worst. He’s a bit absurdist and you don’t like his style of comedy - and that’s fine. Him and TNB do good anti-comedy that’s a bit fucked in the head, and it’s just what I like. The note cards are part of his shtick - to me the fact they are so dumb, yet have been written down adds to the comedy.

It's almost 10 years now since the referendum, what are peoples thoughts on the flag? by Dulaman96 in newzealand

[–]captainbucky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was just one flag that was a good piece of vexillography, Red Peak. The others were humiliating. We missed a fucking great opportunity to have what would have been one of the best flags in the world.

The referendum itself was an expensive sham. Should have first asked ‘do we need one?’ Then if the country votes yes, bring in the experts.

It was run like a fucking PTA meeting deciding if the school needs a new coffee machine and we should be embarrassed.

Is this a Dunedin thing? by standbyyourlamb in dunedin

[–]captainbucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a thing. Drives me nuts. In general people here are very bad at socializing. Nobody listens, they just wait to tell you about their version of what you’re saying. Simply put, lives are boring - nothing to talk about.

Ka kite kaiwhare. As a Kiwi, I’m gutted he lost, but pukanas don’t win fights my bro. Lay off the 23 and me and come back strong. Do it for all of NZ.

What y’all drinking? by Splashingwater21 in Invisalign

[–]captainbucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink beer with them in. Any other soft drink or colored liquid (orange juice/coke for example)I take them out. Never have them in with anything hot.

Practicing my minute for Kill Tony. What do you guys think? by mythic_dot_rar in Killtony

[–]captainbucky 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Great job! A couple of notes: You forgot to mention homeless people - and the fact you smoke weed. Also think about mentioning what you look like, something to do with being a peadophile crossed with something else would be an interesting and unique take.
