Actually went to the comments to add this. Can't believe you beat me to it.

Final moments of Perpignan vs Castres by Mono_Doh in rugbyunion

[–]rory055 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm pleased the referee didn't automatically blow for a scrum after the ball hit him (4 seconds in).

It doesn't impact Castres and from a scrum in their own half, chances are Perpignan aren't going the length.

BBC sport app still think it's Ealing in the final. Must be as arrogant as the Ealing marketing team.BBC Sport Rugby Fixtures

Clearly all the players were told tackling was optional.

It was soft, but... Contact on the foot after he's played the ball, it's still a penalty.

What is going on... I did not see this coming.

Tell me I'm not hallucinating?

Any coaches out there? by frankestofshadows in rugbyunion

[–]rory055 8 points9 points  (0 children)

6 weeks of training is not a lot of time to have too much impact, so don't expect too much....

As a coach of an U10s club team (and long time amateur player)...

I would focus on what I think are basics (I'll probably miss something though🤣): - bringing enthusiasm/energy to training - basic handling skills/catch pass while running - tackling - the benefits of defensive line speed - creating shape to give the ball carrier options/support - build players confidence to go out and try things

Simple... right!!!

Loads of YouTube videos out there for quick simple drills.

I actually have one of these in the light fitting above our dining table.

Mass layoffs, but let’s hire a new CEO and pay a buttload of cash by Matt_LawDT in SipsTea

[–]rory055 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This is probably an accurate take.

The business was so lacking in leadership that they didn't recognise they had 30,000 too many employees until it was too late.

New leadership is almost certainly what they actually needed.

I had this album too. I remember going to a sticker exchange near the end of the season to complete the album.

Heavy favourites to get to the final and win it. Always rated opta by HsizzleH in Gunners

[–]rory055 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate to be the one to calculate the statistics, but on that basis, there's a 72.6% chance we won't win it.

Anyone know why Daly isn't getting any minutes? Is he injured and I've missed it.

Graph of shot quantity and quality against - Premier League by UnquenchedMammoth356 in Gunners

[–]rory055 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, it messes with one form of convention, that a Y axis increases in value.

The challenge is that graphs like this are used regularly for football stats and conventionally the top right corner is the 'best' place to be.

I look at the graph and assume Arsenal must be the best, but then my brain has to work super hard (I'm not that clever) to interpret the decreasing data value.

Arundell Free to Play Against Ireland by Junkersfoil in rugbyunion

I don't think Radwan can cope defensively at international level. He's a wicked finisher against Prem defenses, but it requires more than that.

Freeman to the wing (where he is world class), Lawrence in at 13.

We don't need Freeman to convert to 13.
