Keep on smilin'



:unsmith:
Looking forward to these internationals, thankfully Ireland-NZ is on BT Sport so I won't have to watch the massacre with my own eyes but it'll hopefully be a great weekend overall.

Calling NZ Maori, Wales to break their losing streak against the Wallabies and the All Blacks by more than two scores. I feel like ireland will be using tomorrow as a tune up for the return fixture, I just hope it isn't an embarrassing margin of defeat.

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

When The Ospreys played a crucial league match there, they didn't realize that there were no changing or showering facilities at the ground. They had to change into their playing kits in a nearby classroom, and then stayed in their kits until they got back to the team hotel. The catering was apparently a handful of pizzas delivered to the team bus after the match.

Is this a joke or is this serious? If it's serious...oh my

Yup, serious. Edinburgh are building new stands and facilities at the new ground just now in time for a move in January but it was previously a school pitch they had to use due to football grounds refusing to let them use the pitches and the international games taking up Murrayfield. Suffice to say, Ospreys got wrecked.

The cameraperson following the ball's trajectory with each kick makes me appreciate how good the broadcasters here are in anticipating where the ball is going to go without having to follow it.

Barrett is a pretty good 7s player and hits like a truck, he'll be interesting to watch with ball in hand.

e: I say that and then he left his 9 out to dry on that try.

When you're a kick-first number 10 but you're not striking the ball well you're in big trouble.

Polynesians, not Pacific Islanders. While Maori and Pasifika generally share a common ancestry, Pasifika are considered to be Samoan, Tongan, Niuean, Cook Islanders, Fijians, etc and are more or less seen as distinct groups.
