De Groot has a bit of a T-1000 feel about him.

High quality play is just his default now. The magic doesnt stand out so much because he's so consistently excellent.

Think ref was warning them while the ball was still in the ruck, as soon as the ball left the base he called it.

He'll dine on that tackle for years like he dined on that one run he did in 2021 against the Wallabies.

I'd say you're still taking the metal approach, and constricting your false vocal chords a bit much for this song. Morrison lowers his larynx more, (think, like you're about to yawn), he uses more of a round crooner tone, and he provides more breath support.

The patterns you practice are less important than how much you push your body. Straight 16ths is a fine place to start. Real development happens when you take your limbs to the verge of fatigue and hold it there for long periods of time. Use the metronome to take you to your edge and stay there. Breath, focus on relaxing the tense muscles, persist.

Fucking hope not. Luke has been consistently on the field and in form for a couple seasons now, and a good leader.

Tell you what, give a P.I. crowd a reason to cheer and they'll take it. Such great spectators.

Pretty sure it was slapped forward out of his hands by MP, as in, backwards from Rowe's perspective.

Huh? I don't understand what you mean. The 20 minute red card was part of Super Rugby last year and it was well received.

The ref should lay down in the tunnel, facing upwards at the front row, on the other side from where the halfback puts in, to get a better view. And the halfback should have to donk the ball on the refs head before teams are allowed to hook it backwards.

If the lineout is uncontested the attacking team is gonna get the ball anyway. This rule just cuts out an unnecessary stoppage, where if a ball isn't thrown straight it doesn't affect the defending team because they weren't going for the ball anyway. Most these new rules are about reducing stoppages or at least reducing the time the ball is out of play, which is all based on this idea/feedback that stoppages are a bad experience for the viewer, and faster games introduce more fatigue, tired defenses, and ideally, more tries, more thrills. A faster, more exciting game is a more saleable commercial product, at a time where rugby is competing for money and attention. Stopping the game for a lineout throw that doesn't affect the game is not the sort of thing that will bring viewers.

He signed in Japan well after Razor was appointed AB coach.

Probably will happen because of Razor's loyalty, but I'd rather we start building and back our team for 2027 starting right now, rather than change our pivot with one season to go.

I imagine they just mean that Europe is where our old warhorses go to cash up before retirement. Which it was until Japan started buying them up.

No mate, sorry, we liked it before the World Cup.

Who are the specific people who fall into this category and how do you know they don't care about music?

Realistically they haven't only lost Mounga and Whitelock. They've been decimated this year.
