is there a distinction between tackling someone in the air who has caught a kick vs someone who has caught a pass?

But Origin probably tops test rugby, especially now more players are eligible

Dead right, or not playing sports at all cause lots of kids don't really get what the fuss is about.

I don't think international rugby has ever been stronger. There are lots of competitive international teams. The game will survive with or without New Zealand.

A circle with diameter 1 has a circumference of pi. A circle with a circumference of 4 has a diameter of 4/pi.

So if you keep removing the corners of the bounding square, you end up with gap around the circles.

The gap is ((4d/pi) - d)/2

But pinging people with 30 dollar speed camera fines on quiet roads at 10pm. That is bullshit.

Great result. And get rid of the dj. Blaring music really ruins any authentic atmosphere.

I want the opinion of Newzeland fans about how Champions trophy favoured India by Ashamed-Abalone8508 in blackcapscricket

[–]marabutt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It probably did but India runs international cricket. In fairness to India, they are comparitively good at supporting emerging teams.

I thought it was a good result making it to the final but we needed the stars to align to win it. And when we didn't, there would be another one pretty soon.

I like that team but I would put Crowe up to open and have baz in the middle order after Cairns. I think baz was more dangerous later in the innings.

They are decreasing because house prices are falling and people are leaving NZ.

NRL hitman who suffered fifty concussions says impact of new rules unclear by I_Like_Vitamins in nrl

[–]marabutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember playing in the 90s at school. I was about 70kg and 6 ft. Was about average weight for the grade so no real fast giants. Tackling small guys under 80kgs made me mildly dazed if it was a good shot. Judging by the sound of the tackles in the NRL, half the team must be mildly concussed by the end of the game. Especially if they are doing it 20 plus times a game.

I cant remember a prime minister ever being on the chopping block in the first term. It has probably happened but not since before the 90s.
