So and Aussie can head over to NZ and shoot up the place and all Aussies/NZ's lose their rights, privacy, guns and actual freedom??, Your not called the 5 eyes for nothing lads

I'll give you an example of something: I watch RT for news, after the shooting they gave a small report of it in the small flash news bar at the bottom, it took them a few hours for them to put together a proper big report on it because they needed to get together all the facts and figures of what happened so that a professional report could be made as thats the proper practice of a news outlet.

All "Western" media had all their "big professional" reports ready to go straight away and seemed to have numbers to report all within no time at all and the presenters were already well versed in how to report it, these reports were out so quick and well prepared that the only way they could have been out that quick is if they were started on before the event even took place.

Objectively better option:

1. Move all saffa teams to yuro comps, keeping the hags;
2. Bring back force;
3. Open HK, Fiji and Second Argie franchises;
4. Have comfy as fuck game times where you can have a Sunday morning hag game, and three games in a row on Friday;
5. Have PI countries overtake weaker NH teams (Italy, Scotland, England) and ensure continued SH dominance.

Seriously, fuck South African rugby. They keep threatening to leave for Europe, and bending over for them has cost Australian rugby dearly and NZRU is bending over for them with no lube.

Literally the only games that people attend in SA are home derbies, so blaming the Sunwolves for empty stadiums AND asking them to pay a participation fee to SR is bullshit.

Agree with 1, 2 and 3 except for the HK franchise. We want 14 games for a round robin so we have to cut one.

Yeah but indications are that the SA broadcast money is vastly bigger than Nz and Aus. I personally feel that the benefit of not having teams drop off the map for weeks at a time when they go to SA would probably make up for most of this deficit over time, but I dont have the figures.

>Super rugby is a joke and needs to be like the heineken cup

>Mitre 10 cup needs to be like the old rainfurly shield but profesional

>Currie cup needs to be like the old currie cup but profesional.

they're butthurt because japan voted for France to host the 2023 world cup

At this point, abandoning SR and professionalizing Mitre10 would be better for NZ rugby.

no lol, it's not
they've got 3 good specialist second fives, nonu, sbw, and faiane, and no good centre.
They lost tumua manu, who was the centre pair with faiane in the auckland team, to the cheifs.
And they lost Vince Aso, who is also from auckland, and a very decent centre, to the hurricanes- doesn't even make the bench when everyone's fit- team.

he's been incredible for the sunwolves.
It's wierd how he never really seemed to gel at the hurricanes last year. One of the crusaders, and the all blacks, main strengths is having two relatively equal halfbacks.
They really understand how important the bench is.

With the Hurricanes &the Highlanders, Smith & Perenara play 70 mins and then come off reluctantly, in tough games. It's bad. The Cheifs and the Blues are better off, ruru & pulu can play half a game each, so can ttt & weber.

yeah it's disgusting

Theres a strong argument for rotating scrumhalves throughout the season so they dont play too many minutes. They run more than anyone else and get bashed around a lot for being so small.

yeah that makes sense.
It's wierd how little of an impact booth had last year considering how good he has been this year.

It's also one of the biggest weaknesses of australia & south africa.
I'm pretty sure i've seen faff and genia both play 80 mins in tough tests. That's just fucked.

stupid fucking idea

there've been a lot of fucking stupid ideas coming out of leadership recently what is wrong with them?

yes, yes it really does
rugby is going to get ever more boring and corrupt

sad day

maybe rather than peak they stay consistent but the other teams actively peak for world cup so what we actually see is drop off and return in their quality?

Let's create a /rug/'s rugby code

Some contributions:

- Points system: 2 for try, 1 for conversion, 1 for penalty and 1 for drop;
- No more marks;
- Maximum time for penalties and conversions reduced from 90 to 60 seconds;
- Allowing back Italy's no-ruck strategy

reminds me of the sumo strategy where you sidestep your opponent's initial charge

so you turn the try to kick ratio from 7:3 to 3:1?

To stimulate more thirst for tries with new ratio

>This Crap

>The French Union trying to force the rest of the world into banning 2 player tackles and tackles above the waist

>The World League that players and fans dont want and would make the World Cup obsolete

>CVC Vulture group trying to put the 6 Nations on pay tv

>Trying to force a name change of The Crusaders

Lads, its not even bad management at this point but a blatant attempt to sabotage and ruin Rugby, we have to reject every attempt and "tricks" they use and keep Rugby the way it is, if its not broken dont fix it.

Is there a petition to protect the crusaders?
Are our antipodean anons still facing restrictions?

I don't know, but what i do know which i forgot to add is that all of this shit is being pushed by one group in particular

The Media

what's their angle?

3 for try
1 for conversion
2 for penalty or drop goal
Otherwise keep the scores as is.

>No more marks
No. Marks should stay.

>Maximum time for penalties and conversions reduced from 90 to 60 seconds
I have a better idea. Have the clock stop when a try or a drop goal is scored, and while conversions and penalty kicks are taking place. For a conversion or a successful penalty goal (as well as for a try/drop goal), the clock resumes only at kickoff. For a penalty that doesn't score, the clock only resumes the moment a penalty kick touches the ground, hits the crossbar or either goalpost, or passes the try line (whichever happens first). If the kick goes directly into touch, the clock stays stopped.

Same for scrums and lineouts/quick throws. Stop the clock when an infringement that warrants a scrum occurs or when the ball goes into touch. Since under the laws they don't start until the ball leaves the scrum-half's or thrower's hands respectively, have the clock resume only when that happens. If a scrum is reset for any reason, reset the clock accordingly.

>Allowing back Italy's no-ruck strategy
This.

I found this recent analysis describing the british brexit vote of 2016 which may have parallels for you
remain votes were concentrated geographically and within social groups some as much as 90% dominant especially within the political elites and chattering classes
where as leave voters were very widely distributed and socially mixed being a majority nationally but largely with some direct exposure the diverse views and social structures of their regions
not to paint this as a political post just that a minority can believe itself right because of lack of exposure and dismissal of competing views reinforced by social circles, which has parallels for many topics

I like your clock stop ideas; any caveats?

Not really. Though I haven't decided whether to rewind the clock if advantage is played for a while. Probably not.

Would automatic penal try after 3 consecutive penalties be valid?

Oh yeah almost forgot, if a penalty kick touches a player from either side after being kicked, the clock stops too.

>stops
Fuck, meant resumes.

i'm so fucked bros

Just make it up. It's not like the other seppos will notice or care.

Just show them 5 minutes of typical NZ basketball rugby and then take questions.

give em 5 elite minutes of DMAC highlights

Your clock stop idea is too broad. It would allow a team with a penalty to effectively take 60 seconds to have a breather before taking a tap or kicking to touch.

If the clock is going to stop for penalties, the clock should stop only once an election to kick for goal has happened. But I think that is part of giving away penalties when you’re coming from behind - they have a lost time element to them also, and the general rule is that the team with the ball should be able to dictate the tempo of play within reason.

The clock should stop when:

- either team has set the necessary number of players for a scrum (8) or line out (say 4), whether or not the other team is ready so a team can stop the clock if they are trying to conserve time;

- there is a scrum reset, for the duration between the whistle blow and the front rows re-engaging;

- on a drop-out, from the time that either team has all its players on the correct side of the 22; and

- between scoring and a kick off.

>rugby union was invented quite by accident when a haggis was dropped during a pub brawl

Agree with all of these desu. Fix this and the stupid deliberate knockdown rule and also crack down on people cynically slowing down play by putting their hands on the ball when they're obviously not entitled to and the game gets twice as good. At the moment refs usually just say hands off and let the player get away with if they do, but those lost seconds are crucial.

>brave william webb macellis then picked up the haggis and ran home to scotland behind a rolling maul of his mates

Not too sure about this pandering to septics on rug. They've ruined cric, I'll be fucked if I let it happen here.

Here's one to start you off.
Add in a diagram that looks like this too

Attached: dmac_dfence.webm (1280x720, 1.22M)

As annoying as the deliberate knock down rule is it's fine as long as the refs take into account if it was an honest intercept attempt. It needs to stay otherwise ball slapping is fine which is retarded

make sure to stress that these are the highlights of the elite Former Chiefs and All Black player DMAC

Ball slapping was always fine when I grew up, the onus is on the attacking team to protect the ball as always. You still get a scrum even if they do knock it down.

>your a halfback behind a ruck 5m out
>pass to your first 5
>opposite first 5 slaps the ball down stopping what likely would have been a try
What's more fair, a penalty and a card to the guy slapping the ball, or a scrum feed?
What of those is a better outcome for the defensive side?

ASB Stand block 408 lads. Beers on me.

If hes onside then he should be entitled to do that. We need less ambiguity in the rules, not more. The 9 should be more careful with his pass or his forwards should protect him. This wasn't an issue before they made it a penalty, so I dont know why they did.

I don't feel too well lads

Did you drink tap water?

Just have a cold.

Don’t forget that rapid rugby force v world XV is on tonight at 7:30 Perth time.

The world XV is featuring honey badge, gio aplon, digby, Andy Ellis, senatore, Hugh Renton, Wyatt Crockett and Corey Flynn.

who you got lads?

Not guna watch this year, the team lineup is fucking trash compared to last year.

Pooes by a slim margin

centrelink says I owe them money lads

not happy

you do though

imagine if overnight the benefit changed into a loan system

imagine how fucked everyone would be haha

wouldnt bother me :^)

Speaking of bills I negotiated my ACC down from $1660 to $346. Greedy little fuckers rolled over pretty easily.

Blues 13+

you don't pay taxes then m8? you're already paying my loan repayments, thanks!

When I found out the Aucklad monarch butterfly population was in steep decline, I went straight out and bought a swan plant. It's still small, but there was one caterpillar. feels good

I had to do an assignment on those buggers when I lived in Dunedin. Nice looking though.

never seen so many hakas lads.

pretty sure I did an assignment at primary school too

Butterflies are gay.

Drove past the mosque in Ponsonby today. Never seen NZ police with assault rifles before. pretty freaky.

If only the muslims had them this wouldn't have happened.

Now, thankfully, no one will.

damn scroungers, if only I wasnt leftie as fuck

Except all the people who don’t turn them in.

No one except criminals.

you're not actually going to vote for bill shorten are you? haha

do you know who jonas salk was?
he was the jewish scientist that cured polio. he created the march of dimes to raise millions to fund his research.
polio was a crippling and deadly disease putting children all over the world into a wheelchair or an early grave. the vaccine for polio was one of the greatest medical achievements of the last century. its a globally essential medicine.
and this guy jonas salk?
he could have made billions from it. he could have patented it and made actual billions of dollars.
you know what he did? he waived the patent. he gave up billions just to make sure as many people who could be helped got the help they needed. he became a celeb after that even though he hated it. truly a great man and he left the world a better place than he came into it.

If I had a choice between polio existing in the USA/world and jews. I would choose polio every single time and twice on sundays. I would infect myself with polio and tour america spreading the disease in a custom built wheelchair or crutches if it meant all the jews and their influence were excised from my country like the cancer they are.
polio is nothing compared to the harmful effects of jews on the USA and world.I would give anything to live in a world where our biggest problem was building access ramps and compliance with the civil disabilities act.

that sounds like hyperbole. it is not. 100% authentic feelings. I cant sleep at night anymore. I wish I never started questioning things. I wish I was still a dumb rube out there able to laugh at things instead of a woke misanthrope. I envy the dumb.

so sick of seeing dumb coconuts drop the ball and give away penalties

wish the shooter had gone after a fijian school instead and saved rugby

>shedracist

Big Melani Nanai fan lads.

>how to play rugby union
So if I'm reading this right, you have to give a description of the gameplay? Just compare it to handegg. Ruck, maul, scrum, lineout, things like that.

yikes

grim selection

>It would allow a team with a penalty to effectively take 60 seconds to have a breather before taking a tap or kicking to touch.
Good point. Though I do think that the clock shouldn't resume if the team makes its decision quickly, like maybe within 5 seconds after the penalty is called.

Of course, there should still be a time limit for teams to get ready for, say, scrums or lineouts, so that they don't purposefully drag on the game. In basketball for example the the free throw has a time limit even though the clock stops during that time.

DYNAMITE

Although the tv money from SA is gonna be gone soon.
Everyone stopped watching and going to the games as you can see from the stadium crowds.

No one cares about quota teams.

I watched every game last year and I'm not bothering.

Full list of proposed law changes
walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/radical-new-rugby-laws-could-16005841
Only the sin bin review looks good. The other three should be scrapped.

Even the sin bin review one is tempered by the fact that red cards shouldn't even exist. I'd support it if red cards allowed a sub to take the place of the carded player after 10 minutes though.

>red cards shouldn't even exist
I disagree, red cards are fine.

>do something bad in the 79th minute
>only punishment is a penalty

>do something bad in the first minute
>whole game is played 14 v 15

giving rugby peeague and gayfl a go lads

both were grim

Rugby on lads.

>6 games over the next two days
oh baby

Are the sunwolves really getting kicked out of super15?
if so why?

the eternal s*ffer

If it's a red card offence it'll get a red whether it's given in the 1st minute or the 79th minute. Similarly, if it's just a penalty no card will be given whether in the 1st or 79th minute.

Saffers complaining about travel times apparently.

>Saffers don't want them in because of travel times [spoiler]which is incidentally a solid argument for why Cheetahs and Kings should fuck off back to the Currie Cup[/spoiler]
>SANZAAR wants to reduce regular season games down to a single round-robin format to reduce player workload
>Japs are supposedly getting an offer to join some pacific islands comp where they might occasionally win games

Pro14 Round 18

Friday Night Games (All at 19:35 GMT)
>Cardiff vs Scarlets
Scarlets finally back close to full strength after a season of pain. Halfpenny and Patchell back and rested. Cardiff similarly close to full strength. Heart says Scarlets but brain says Cardiff will grind out a 3 times tables win. Cardiff by 6.

>Connacht vs Treviso
Oh I'm really looking forward to this one. For my money, the 2 most dynamic attacking teams in the league. and with neither a defensive powerhouse, it should be end to end stuff. Connacht by 5.

>Edinburgh vs Leinster
Another interesting game. Leinster are experimenting with positions and reintroducing 5 injured players while Edinburgh are packing down with as much of their first-choice team as they can muster. Leinster's kids have demonstrated that they can win tight games Edinburgh need the win and have the means to achieve it. Edinburgh by 4.

Saturday Games
>Ospreys vs Dragons 15:00 GMT
Teams not announced yet but I'm guessing Dragons will go all in while Ospreys will be missing AWJ and a couple more internationals. Without them Ospreys are embarrassingly bad. Ospreys by 2.

>Ulster vs Kings 17:30 GMT
Watch Ulster perform their best Paddy Jackson impersonation. Ulster by 30.

>Glasgow vs Cheetahs 19:45 GMT
Glasgow should have this handy but it's worth noting that Glasgow lost to Kings with the same 9-10-15 teamup. Glasgow by 30.

>Munster vs Zebre 19:45 GMT
Same old story. Munster will win but they're missing their creative players so it won't be the blow out that they'd hope for. Munster by 15.

You missed my point. A penalty always accompanies a red card. However the red card component is almost irrelevant if the game is near its end, but all encompassing if the game is just starting.

The red also gets you an automatic citing hearing, which means you can miss future games.

>frawley at 15

oh the horror of a young talented creative player playing in a different position to his preferred one despite the skillsets largely overlapping

>young talented creative
Frawley is alright but he still has a ways to go. In games where to opposition pressures him he snaps. Things he’ll learn to manage in time.

Just don't be stupid enough to commit a foul in the first minute then. An injury to a key player in the first minute is obviously going to affect his team a lot more than the same injury to the same player in the last minute, moreso if the injury was caused by foul play.

Connacht are easily the best Irish province to watch. That break with the last minute one-hand pass from O'Halloran was absolute sex.

soutrh africa are fucked

The best Irish province to watch when they’re winning. Connacht are agony to watch when a team pressures them at all.

Who are they going to replace the Awoos with?
SA?
I'm surprised SA don't complain about flying to Argentina

What? That makes it even more entertaining. Connacht-Leinster was the best game all season.

connachts flankers should have been out of that scrum quicker but you cant begrudge treviso the try

>check the score in the Welsh game.
Jesus Christ, Scarlels are finished.

That's a good result for Treviso
My wish off wanting all the Irish provinces and them to make the play-offs is shaping up nicely

Fuck. This week was supposed to be our chance to put daylight between us. At this rate, we aren't even going to get a bonus point here. Thanks for nothing Scarlets

Shite

Attached: toh.png (122x277, 43K)

That is obviously fine to keep, and is essentially irrelevant because you can get cited even if you weren't given a red at the time.

Injury doesnt pretend to be justice. Officiating does. Imagine a criminal justice system with vastly different penalties for identical crimes. It would never be allowed, but for some reason in rugby it is.
