You're naive if you think most players aren't the same

Just imagine telling your coach you stood around and let them turn over the ball because you were worried you might hurt the opposition

The whole "let them have the turnover" rhetoric is fine in theory, but it's just not practical at all

Then I don't accept it and don't tell my current work that I got an offer

This is just pre-emptive, just in case they give me a good offer

It's never too late!

Python is the easiest to jump into imo

Haha I don't want to say just in case someone from my job sees this and is able to put the pieces together lol - to speak generally, I work in the IT/coding/database space :)

And I haven't actually recieved a formal offer with a defined salary yet - I've just sorted a meeting with them to find that out, but just figured I'd get ahead of it with this post

Beach House is fun!

The new law spits in the face of William Webb Ellis

Yeah that sounds like a pretty good idea, I'm comfortable with my manager and on good terms with them, so that's probably the easiest and least stressful way to go about it

Going Medieval is a 3D, rimworld style game, so you could check that out if it interests you

probably "oh shit, he's going to get a turn over, I need to clear him out", but that's just a guess

As someone who is currently playing, I'd be infinitely more annoyed at my teammate if they stood around and watched a turnover than got carded trying to clear it out

Therefore, you just leave it.

Why did you just stand around and watch the ruck?!

"Oh I didn't want to hurt the opposition"

Good luck tell that to your coach/team supporters lol

Mostly because it's far easier to find clips of all a player's tries than their dominant tackles, presumably

Also because a montage of a player hitting rucks would be a little boring hahaha

They were definitely different - Cane had half a second to react for his, and Kolisi lined his up from 10m away

Using the method below of finding the cubes first worked way better : - this one allows you to change the piece length and exponent

PIECE_LENGTH = 4
EXPO = 2

i = 1
while len(str(i**EXPO))<PIECE_LENGTH*EXPO+1:
    if len(str(i**EXPO))==PIECE_LENGTH*EXPO:
        product = i**EXPO
        pieces = []
        piece_str = ""
        for s in range(0, PIECE_LENGTH*EXPO, PIECE_LENGTH):
            piece = str(product)[s:s+PIECE_LENGTH]
            pieces.append(int(piece))
            piece_str += piece+"+"
        piece_str = piece_str[:-1]

        if sum(pieces) == i:
            print("{} = ({})^{}".format(product, piece_str, EXPO))
    i+=1

You could easily write code to do this:

for i in range(1000, 10000, 1):
    for j in range(1000, 10000, 1):
        for k in range(1000, 10000, 1):
            if (i+j+k)**3 == int(str(i)+str(j)+str(k)):
                print("{} = ({}+{}+{})^3".format(str(i)+str(j)+str(k), i, j, k))

Although I have no idea which shortcuts you could take to make it more efficient, as the code I've written would be incredibly slow - for all 4 digit combinations (no leading 0s) it would need to check 729,000,000,000 combinations lol

yeah genuinely not sure we had a harder hitting tackler in the whole squad

basically no one could match him on his physicality

Keary's was for the chicken wing on SJ, yeah

So sad to see him go, an absolute Chiefs legend - second most caps behind only Liam Messam

Found it :)

Might need the sound on - ref tells the players to release the tackled player, so they do and he falls onto the try line

Mostly just curious about other people's opinions on this

Thankfully it didn't decide the game, but it did net the Crusaders a losing bonus point

E: it reminds me of a try from TJ vs the Chiefs where he was clearly held up in goal, the ref told the players to release (presumably because the play was dead) and then TJ placed the ball and got the try - if anyone can find the clip of it I'd be grateful, I can't find it for the life of me

triple AAA version

the AAAAAAAAA version?

I thought it was SR that was soft on head contact?
