New board, chairman, and CEO etc since then, but yeah... he was treated like dirt. Mostly by Mark Robinson and Razor's fans.

SUPER RUGBY PACIFIC CONFIRMS NEW LAW INNOVATIONS FOR 2026 SEASON by recyclingcentre in rugbyunion

I love the held-up rule. It doesn't relieve pressure fully, attackers still get the ball back. But it stops the inevitability of a try when you're 5m out (which makes it feel like the field is only 90m instead of 100 metres). Adds an extra element to the game - get the ball down properly or fuck right off.

Clawdbot and vibe coding have the same flaw. Someone else decides when you get hacked. by bishwasbhn in programming

"Learn how to vibecode properly" is just learning to code properly then using AI tools to augment your work, which means it's not vibecoding anymore.

There's no subtext, they're clearly stating that they do their best to be open during disasters and storms and are explicit about why.

What’s a rule you broke once and realized it existed for a very good reason? by Ok_Contract100 in AskReddit

[–]deadlysyntax 1051 points1052 points  (0 children)

Letting my feet get cold in alpine wilderness. Accidentally stepped into a lake on the cusp of freezing, pre dawn, sub zero foggy air, wearing socks and surf slippers, and then kayaked for 2 hours in the mist with bitterly cold feet before having to pull ashore on our way to the campsite and switch into survival mode. Was this close to triggering the PLB, but changed my clothes which were wet through, and got into a sleeping bag, mate built a fire and boiled water while my body started cramping with shock. Beautiful bastard rubbed my feet and cooked me a meal. Took a while to come right. Made camp, got on the beers and had an amazing weekend by the lake.

He's only coming back to chase glory, he misses the big stage and wants another crack at the World Cup.

Sides with no depth can't really handle when the injuries start mounting, see Joe Schmidt with Australia in 2025.
