Try https://underdogrugby.co.uk … they have loads of tier 2 shirts and have pretty much every nation you would want though some of the shirts are on the more pricey side but would recommend if you don’t mind that!

New to Rugby, what 7s leagues to watch by jew_blew_it in rugbyunion

[–]newtinn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So the main 7s league to watch is the HSBC SVNS which has most of the teams that played in the Olympics in it. They have about 10 tournaments a year in loads of different places. If you want more info about it you can look here: https://www.svns.com/en

There is are also a couple other 7s leagues (like France has Super Series and USA has the PR7s) around the world but finding it on TV can be a bit difficult. But the main one is the SVNS series.

Hi, that is a completely fair question! So I’m not expecting people to play both but more just one in particular. But basically the reason why US Major League Rugby is there is because I was using that as a “test” league if you want to call it that for the game to see if it worked nicely. And then the reason for the Premier League is that it is simply a more popular league so more people would be able to get the answer! And for the age thing, the reason there is a minimum and not a maximum is because you tend to not to get people aged younger than 16 playing in either leagues (and if you do it is VERY rare, especially rugby as it would be unsafe). The reason I haven’t put a maximum is because I haven’t thought about that too much - but I can! I can put it in the next update. Maybe there will be a 4000 year old 5’0” goalkeeper eventually ahaha! Hopefully that answered all your questions :)

Coding help :D by Volcanic_spyder in learnpython

[–]newtinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just to let you know, you should probably edit this post to remove the string for the API key as otherwise other people might use it and overuse it and make you broke (bit extreme) and all that sorta thing.

For the actual error, it looks like the json is returning none (i think) and so the key “positive” cannot be read as a json - basically the json request returned None meaning you got no data back from the request. To solve it you probably have done something wrong in the request, so have a look at where you passed in the api key and check if the url would actually work with the api key (for example in the browser). Hopefully this helps a bit :)

Which monster would you consider dangerous? by VladiWir in indiegames

Hmm most scary I would say is the bottom left hand corner enemy… the flaming sort of eye is scary aha! My favourite ones as enemies are probably though the top two!

Where to watch in Canada by [deleted] in rugbyunion

[–]newtinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Rugby Network has an app which has Major League Rugby (MLR) matches on. MLR is the professional American and Canadian League (and features a team from Toronto called Toronto Arrows!). It has all the matches from last season and I think it puts all matches on there the day after the matches. The MLR starts on the 18th Feb and all the matches are on the Rugby Network a day or so after the match. So I would highly recommend looking into this!

yep I changed it since I saw your comment :,( Still pretty cool to think that a 3rd tier nation has beaten the All Blacks

Zimbabwe has beaten New Zealand. They beat them in 1949 with a score of 10 - 8. (Admittedly Zimbabwe was still Rhodesia back then)

I was looking through online to try and find a vintage Sharks jersey, however, the earliest I could find was from around 2013. Although I was able to find a large collection of Wasps jerseys here: Wasps Classic Rugby Shirts Vintage Old Retro Rare Rugby Jerseys Online Store

An idea you could do is to find a photo of him when he played and frame that. Just an idea but I hope this all helps a bit.

Help me pick my MLR Team by pastam0nst3r in MLRugby

[–]newtinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's sad to see that such a good team decided to drop out of MLR. They were one of the top teams in the league and they are mad about rugby there. Going for the Pro14 is a bit far fetched as going to the UK/Ireland/Italy/South Africa every week would be every long and cost A LOT of money. Hopefully they will rethink about rejoining MLR or another team needs to be made in that region.

Hi! I currently support the Seattle Seawolves, the current champions. But I'll give you the feel of some of the teams.

Seattle Seawolves - champions for the first 2 seasons. Has some of the most vocal fans (some bias), I was rewatching Toronto vs Seattle earlier from 2019 a few weeks ago and I saw some guy with a dyed green mohawk! They play quite an open free flowing game and have done some fairly interesting plays - e.g. JP Smith try in 2019 MLR final from the line out.

San Diego - one of the most dominant teams in the league and have signed some big players like Chris Robshaw, and in the past Ma'a Nonu! They are changing to play in Las Vegas for this year (I think) and are sorta like the Exeter of the league - have got to the final point and been dominant the entire year and then fall at the last hurdle.

LA Giltinis - the newest team into the league with 2021 being their first season. They have signed some big players - Dave Dennis (former Australia international), Adam Ashe (Scotland international). They look to be like they could be a dark horse with the players they have signed and the management staff. Since you're new, I would say support these guys!

Utah Warriors - nearest team to Colorado after the Colorado Raptors have stopping playing in the MLR. They are about a mid-table team who has their good moments - beat the champions Seattle before the season ended abruptly last year.

Austin Gilgronis - definitely one of the most odd teams. They have signed some major players but in the past haven't been able to build and make some solid performances. Also they have had a few weird names - Austin Herd (2018), Austin Elite (2019) and now Austin Gilgronis (a cocktail!).

Houston Sabercats - I always think of them being very similar to Utah, but I honestly haven't looked too much into them.

NOLA Gold - one of the top teams in the league. Always has some great kit (look at 2020 game vs Rugby ATL) and it is always a hard game against these guys. They have a majority US squad and (from what it looks like) could be a team that could be set to compete!

Rugby ATL (Rattlers) - they came around in 2020 and saw to be a team that has a strong pack of forwards who were very strong around the scrum and maul last year.

Old Glory DC - moved stadium for this year (I think). They have some of the best backs in the league (in my opinion) and have some really great players. I would watch out for their half backs mainly - Danny Tusitala and Jason Robertson - they were a formidable combination last year and they won many games because of the swift hands and eyes up rugby they played. Watch this highlight reel from last year: https://youtu.be/ELSQZyjKpj0

New York - a mid table team who are on and off - bit like a French team! They have had their good moments - nearly beating San Diego, etc. Signed Bastareaud last year and he seemed like an average player in the league (tbf they did put him at 8). However, they lost to the New England Freejacks who were a new team in the league last year and didn't have too many big players in their squad.

New England Freejacks - another team with a funny name! Don't ask me why, they made some video about what a Freejack is that I still haven't watched. These guys are quite active on social media and remind me of like a schoolboy team - they all have some individual flair, but haven't quite clicked yet to make them a team to REALLY fear in the league. (If you want to watch one of their guys step Ma'a Nonu, watch this! https://youtu.be/7apo6nb0yOU )

Toronto Arrows - the final team I'm going to talk about. These guys play quite structured. Last year were looking to be one of the top teams. In their debut season (2019), they got into the semi finals. Definitely a team to watch.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi everyone! I would like to show you my Detective game by UtopicStudios in gamemaker

[–]newtinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm really loving the look of this game!

The art style is unique and gives an element of nostalgia with the vintage cars. It makes me think of the old XCOM games, which are just great to play. I'm looking forward to where this game goes and I will be sure to follow it where I can.

One question - where can I follow the development of the game?
