The Silver Fern

@ACT-Crusader said in RWC: South Africa v Canada (Pool :

A Canadian player is about to get carded.

The referee tried his best to find a reason not to give the red. Kudos to him for having the balls for it

Only watched second half from phone, but jesus christ there were some absolute massive hits from both sides, nothing friendly about it today.

This is probably the best thread for this

@Sneakdefreak said in Lord Stanley’s Cup, 2019 edition:

A bunch of jerks called the Carolina Hurricanes just knocked out the defending champions Washington Capitals 4-3 in double overtime. All the top teams have been eliminated in the first round (Tampa Bay, Washington, Nashville, Calgary).

Think Carolina is everyone's team going forward unless you're Don Cherry.

And Justin "mr game 7" Williams with the assist on the winner. Now totals 7+8 in 9 career game sevens.

@nepia I have seen him being run down before, don't think he has ever had the top end pace that other top class wingers have, as he has always relied on his acceleration, step and leap. Tho seemed very pedestrian on that one, so might have had something to do with the bug too.

@jegga Blazing Saddles?

If anyone is interested, I have got an extra ticket for Wales-Australia on saturday as a mate had to pull off from the trip. Shit company, shit chat, expensive beer and the quality of the game will probably be shit too, pm me if you are keen.

Cn one of you clear the air by posting some photos of her? I don't know how to get them from instagram to the fern.

No. She's my first officer and you reprobates can't have her.

do you get her to hold your cock and then aim for turbulence?

Fuck your drinks passengers, I'm getting a jerky handjob

What the fuck did I just watch? Can someone ban jegga? Or me?

Yesterday morning weight was 99.9kg, celebrated it with maccas for dinner, don't know if that is how it works, but was still under the hundy today morning, probably due to the draining hockey game I got trough in the evening.

Update on the diet thingy, 100.5kg this morning, so much slower weight loss now during the last 3-4weeks than the first 6, but overall feeling much better. Was just out with the dog and we went to the dog park and then jog back from there, about 3km, hardly broke sweat and didn't breath heavily at any point. Been ages since I could jog without feeling like shit all the time, unfortunately the dog was a bit slow as he got his excersice at the dog park, could have ran much faster.

As for the diet itself, I have given myself much more freedom with what I eat, for example today went to a Chinese buffet, but only ate half of what I used to, portion sizes are so much smaller that it doesn't really matter if I take a carb here and another there.

If you think you should drop some weight, I just can't recommend it enough, no matter how you do it, after 10kg I feel so much better and exercising is so much more fun now. So much easier to look myself in the mirror too, probably going to try to settle somewhere around 90kgs, I remember I was pretty satisfied with myself years ago at 94, but think I packed more muscle then too, so need to whip my ass to the gym more too.

Is Caleb Timu in the touring squad?

No 8 would be the biggest issue. Hanigan?

FIFY

Would be surprised If The Aussies won't win this, best starting XV in a long time.

I didn't see the full game last weekend, but what I saw I thought Samu was good. The Hooper contract seems crazier by the moment. Tho it would probably be Pocock who drops out as long as Cheika is coach.

@Rembrandt Brilliant

@taniwharugby I don't think so, a joint can easily get swollen enough without major damage. Think of an ankle sprain, it might look very bad the next morning and then be fine a week later.

@nta said in Wallabies v Springboks:

We've become a team that can drag an opponent down to our level

Did the Boks really need that dragging?

@rembrandt Good onya. If you feel the need to eat more carbs, I reckon a lot of professionals recommend taking them around training, or evening if you have earned them during the day.

Took a bit of a hit on the weekend myself, had a schoolmate move back here and we went on a bit of a bender, but have upped my training this week and also eaten a bit more, morning weight today 101.9kg. On the plus side is that I can fit to my favorite shirt again, minus is that it isn't tight around the shoulders anymore like it used to be.

Foley needs to get a rest at some point and not much options available at the moment. Toomua will probably slot a lot at first five to give Beale some freedom tho.
