How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

Why’s that? No one would care that it’s a fake injury as far as I can see.

Injured players can’t be brought back on. If you substitute the fr at halftime, those players can come back on if one of the replacements get injured.

If the fr fakes injuries at halftime to get replaced (so that you can make your allotted say 3 tactical changes in the other 5 forward positions), the game goes to golden oldies if someone gets injured.

I can’t see South Africa for example risking loosing their scrumming advantage with an injury and going to golden oldies.

That solution looses a lot of interesting possibilities however, so it’s not my choice of action, but I’m perfect OK with the current unlimited injury changes, and if any future law changes somehow magically make injury replacements more likely, I’m happy with that too, as long as the game doesn’t stop for them of course.

Hell, I was happy to even allow injured players to come back on inside the 10 minute bloodbin type application, because I believe speeding the game up by removing stoppages would tire people out more than being able to have a fake replacement for 10 minutes would give them an advantage.

It’s entirely enforceable, we just might not like it. Or like with Rassie’s ideas', we might love how they enforce it. Also, it’s been fine for 30 years, now you sound like the ridiculous one sprouting law claims that it’s picking players for them lol.

Ah, but at least you make a point that we can take interest in, risk. What makes you think it’s risky?

Double also, you wouldn’t have cleared up anything, as they may have simply told Doyle it wasn’t needed in the law as there was no need. Now that there is obviously a need it makes perfect sense that they will go back to vote it in. But has the situation changed, maybe they actually like this?

'Individuals are stepping up': Vern Cotter on Beauden Barrett's influence

Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered.As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.In the midst of this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Initially skeptical but driven by desperation, I visited their website and was struck by their no-nonsense commitment to transparency. Unlike other firms that promised miraculous recoveries, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES provided a clear,breakdown of their process: forensics, collaboration with international legal networks, and direct engagement with exchanges to freeze illicit funds.From the moment I reached out to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , their team approached my case faster . They meticulously analyzed my situation, keeping me informed at every stage of the recovery process. Ultimately, they succeeded in recovering my entire investment, restoring my financial stability and also rekindling my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital age. This experience has imparted invaluable lessons about vigilance and the importance of seeking help when navigating the dangerous currents of cryptocurrency. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES has proven to be a beacon of hope for those ensnared in the web of crypto fraud, demonstrating that recovery is indeed possible with the right support and expertise.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ ) also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)

Leinster, Munster among 7 clubs chasing South African schools sensation

He’d best be careful with the charm offensive in Ireland. Leinster Academy is very strong and as a blow in, particularly a SA one, old school tie, internal politics and joisting for position within the camps and between them could well see him being undermined. A victim of others ego and point scoring. Suddenly, it’s “Oh well, he couldn't crack it” yet he’s been looked at by those with a agenda from a jaundiced view. Ireland is not as welcoming as it makes out to be so wait until the fans see him as a threat to one of their own or, god forbid, he doesn't immediately show himself as a constant turn over, hard charging try scoring machine. Kenyon Knox was made promises and look at him know. Great player, with prospects, but not developed by Munster and shut out with few opportunities. Now gone at 26 and trying to rebuild a career in Frances 3rd tier.

Who cares what the intention was?

Isn’t that what your whole discussion was about, that you care because you want to make the game fast?

You can’t worry about anything retrospectively as if the intention was never laid out, say in the laws or in the code/spirit, then how is anybody to know that? Looking forward, if it was there intention, for next step is to recalibrate. They are simply going to put it in writing without first wondering if they still want a strict 5;3.

I’d therefor suggest worrying/talking about that first.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

It was obviously the idea, there’s no real point in disputing that. Unless you’re just trying to educate RW on principle, there’s absolutely no reason we should be talking about “law” (saying that not having read these posts lol).

Enforcing a split seems a bit draconian, much more simple, elegant, and relevant ways of doing it. Would be easy to do, but also easily gamed and then we just have an even worse problem.

Bitcoin Recovery Testimony: How LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY Saved My $1 Million

I never imagined I would be in a situation like this. In January 2025, I mistakenly transferred $1 million worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address during a high-pressure transaction. It was a moment of carelessness that nearly cost me everything. The wallet I sent it to was untraceable, and I was told by several "experts" that once crypto is gone, it’s gone for good.

I was devastated. That money represented years of savings, business investments, and future plans. I couldn't sleep or think straight. I reached out to different platforms and forums, hoping someone might help, but it felt hopeless—until I was referred to LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY .

From the first moment I contacted them, I could tell this wasn’t just another "recovery scam." Their team was professional, clear in their communication, and, most importantly, they didn’t make unrealistic promises. They walked me through their process step by step, and while I was still skeptical, I had nothing left to lose.

To my amazement, within just a few weeks, LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY used their rare level of expertise and deep hacking skills to trace, access, and recover the entire $1 million in Bitcoin. They achieved what I was told was impossible.

This company is the real deal. Not only did they retrieve my funds, but they also educated me on how to protect myself from future risks. I am forever grateful to the LION Cybersecurity team. If you're in a similar situation, don’t give up hope—these are the people you want on your side and they can be contacted through either of the following channels;

That’s exactly my point, he is much smaller.

Why on earth would you say he won’t start though? That’s ridiculous, the opposite of an impact sub so I would have thought only there as a 80 minute option.

The whole article smells of cherry picking, but totally random which way it falls.

Why the Aussie revival is for real and what it means for New Zealand

After decades of spreading their human and financial resources too thinly on expensive pro teams in AFL territory, Waugh and Herbert seem to be building a more coherent, sustainable structure with good people like Simon Raiwalui in key positions and their best coaching roster for a long time. A long way to go but a promising start.

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

One would think the next Womens RWC is the Roses to lose, they are a better balanced side than 4 years ago. That’s not to say they won’t; NZ will certainly be a contender, and lest we forget it was France who should have put NZ out of the final of the last cup, but for a sitter of a penalty missed.

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

im not saying they were not good finishes but if you watch replays the tackling attempts were dreadful. If you look at the womens 6 nations generally a lot of tries are scored because the tackling in the womens game is not great at times.its an area that does need improvement from the womens teams.

Former Lions and England star lands World Cup gig with New Zealand

Bunting has been useless, so far. A 60% win rate, the manner in which the Ferns lost four tests last season was embarrassing, our team has plummeted sharply since RWC2021/22.

Adding Flutey does zero to fix the main issue; poor set piece, poor lineout, poor carry/cleans, poor ruck/maul D, poor tactics, backline defence optional . . .

For example. In the 2 test losses v ENG last year, the Roses’ backs scored 12 tries out of 13. Seven by wings, 2 by fullback, 1 by centre & 2 by halfback. The other try was a rolling maul. And they did this by dominating us up front, & blowing through our soft D.

But yeah, welcome Riki.
