My brother in law has scheduled a party for his birthday on saturday kicking off at 7:30.
He doesn't have sky.
I got a severe frowning from the mrs when I suggested we perhaps skip it.
Did I mention he doesn't have sky?FFs.
What a turd.
I'm sure you won't be alone if you slink off to another room and watch a stream on SkyGo (if SkyGo actually goes).
Failing that drop her off and go to the pub.His friends are like him so I will probably be alone.
Fuck, sounds like it's not worth going at all. If the guy isn't interested in the Rugby and nor are his mates what are you even doing there?
Discussing the latest craft beer made with single origin bio-dynamic ethically sourced coffee sourced from pygmies in Papua that swallow the beans whole before shitting them out? -

This reminds me of a time years ago when rugby first went to sky then delayed . This guy I carpooled with to my block course invited me to a gathering at his house , it was the same night as a 3n test. Get there the TVs off, no sky and his mrs says " is there a game on ? We're not rugby people" . All but me and two other people had done their due diligence and were watching the game . Was extremely fucking awkward with all the piles of food for the guests that didn't turn up and I left as soon as I could to watch the replay.

@Crucial wait, is it @MN5 's party? No footy? Full of beer piston wristed gibbons? Sounds shithouse
I'm not sure why someone with a mongrel wannabe hipster homeless guy beard that makes you look 70 feels the need to have a go?

Oh shit the Parliament Funkadelic is here to defend himself.
Pity he already outed himself on numerous occassions

Probably good that they don't have funerals at night....

@Crucial
Yeah I noticed that as well - thing is by the looks of it the ref is looking right at the lions players who are about to position themselves in the Crusaders backline.The only way that is legit is if the halback has lifted the ball and has been delaying his pass. Even if he has just lifted it there is no way the ref can see that from his position and certainly no way the defensive players further out can tell. Some of those guys are in the motion of their third step

Earlier in the thread a link to an analysis was posted. I found this picture somewhat telling. Hope Peyper has a copy.
That is a great shot. It does show how Lions try and get a jump on out of the ruck.
But it also highlighhts two other things:
-
The spreading out means there is a weakness very close to the ruck. In photo no Saders close in enough to attack this; and
-
Something I noticed in Maori rewatch and haven't seen commented on elsewhere: The Lions player in ruck has pulled his knees forward. Thus the back of the ruck (and offside line) is perhaps two feet further forward than had he left legs outstretched. Compare with Saders. Two feet takes a lot of time away from first receiver.
For Lions to have a chance will require then to slow our ruck ball and use time to set up rush. POM and SOB are experts at this. Our cleanout needs to be ruthless.

Looks like fourth man out has stolen a march and dragged a couple of the outsides with him. Clear offside with the ref perfectly positioned. What is not apparent from the picture though is whether or not the offence was penalised.

They've been doing it all day ref!
Typical Kiwi hyperbole - there's only five minutes gone!

Exactly. You have to get onto the ref early.

That call always reminds me of a tighthead prop who was great for calls like that. Including against stokes Vegas when their loosehead only had one arm and our tighthead was heard yelling/complaining at the ref that his opposite wasn't binding.

What self-respecting New Zealander makes alternative plans when the Allblacks are playing? Skip it. She'll get over it. You won't if you miss it.
