SA are going to get thumped if whenever they get the ball they give it straight back to the England backs their best bet is to make it a grindfest relying on the size and strength of their pack and try to win like 9-6 but neutralising the English attack is going to be a hell of a lot tougher than it was against a frankly dull and uninspired Wales

video replay is fine in theory but when you have to spend 2-3 minutes going frame-by-frame to see if an infraction occurred that's just too much there should be a blanket rule across all sports of "30 seconds maximum per replay and if you can't make a call by then the decision on the field stands"

Vaders Jester posted:It's a nebulous law, if a team spends 5 minutes failing to do anything with that advantage, surely that's on them and advantage over, not just until they score a try or gently caress it right up? so when do you draw the line? there's no time limit to advantage specified in the law

Vaders Jester posted:That's pretty much the problem with the law. It's entirely discretionary and if a team is in the 22 it's basically until they score or gently caress up which seems pretty dumb. then change the law, I have no problem with that but complaining when the law's enforced as it's currently written is pretty dumb

Vaders Jester posted:Not what I said. It's literally called typhoon season, Hagibis was a freak storm even by Japanese standards but it's not like they didn't know that typhoons were a thing. hmm it's almost as if the lesser typhoons that happen normally would have required far less of a contingency plan

Vaders Jester posted:The lesser typhoons are bigger than 14 miles across but at least you tried. right, and they don't tend to have things like 150mph winds which is the reason the games were called off the worst that's likely to happen with a regular typhoon is a flooded pitch, hmm I wonder what the best response to that would be

Vaders Jester posted:Even the smallest are around 90mph, making play pretty much impossible in the local area. so instead you want people to be flying to the other end of the country in those winds? yeah that sounds like a great idea, what could possibly go wrong if the contingency plan had been "play the game on another island" you'd have the SRU saying that the journey would be unsafe for players and fans and this whole thing is moot anyway because, guess what, the game actually got played and there was no need for the SRU to get their legal dick out and start waving it around Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Nov 7, 2019 |

Vaders Jester posted:That's some weird leaps of logic you've made there, I'm not entirely sure where you got that I suggest planes fly through a typhoon but you do you. well your problem with the original contingency plan seemed to be "the backup stadium is too close to the main one" so I'm explaining how an alternative plan of having the backup stadium a lot further away comes with its own issues

Vaders Jester posted:You made up weird hypothetical situations that wouldn't happen to support your bizarre argument about flying through typhoons but carry on. what exactly is hypothetical about having to fly to reach far-away stadiums in Japan? you realise it's a country made up of separate islands right?

Vaders Jester posted:You suggested flying through typhoons, then suggested that the SRU would refuse to move venue if given the option. Neither of which make any sense at all. I mean if there's a typhoon going on and you've got to get to a stadium on another island I don't think you'd want to do it by boat

Aramoro posted:If only there was some way to know about the Typhoon before hand? yeah there's absolutely no way they were waiting as long as they could before making a decision like changing the venue of the match, none at all because it might be the case that actually it's OK to have the match in the original stadium after all (spoiler: this is what actually happened)

yeah I'm 100% sure that the SRU would have accepted "sorry you're going to have to fly to a different stadium 1000 miles away to have your match, tough poo poo about not having any fans there" without any complaint and definitely wouldn't have in any way threatened World Rugby with legal action, because come on who would do that, I mean really

Vaders Jester posted:They literally said they were happy to move to any other stadium to ensure the match was played. They even offered to play the game behind closed doors if need be. which is all well and good but Italy didn't get that option so I'm really not sure why the SRU thought they deserved to get it threatening to sue when World Rugby doesn't break its own tournament rules solely to benefit you doesn't seem like a very good idea really

Vaders Jester posted:The fact Italy didn't get the option seems to poo poo all over the idea that the "robust contingencies" that were supposedly in place were fit for purpose then, doesn't it. yeah they should have known there was going to be a once-in-a-century storm before they drew up the rules that said "no rescheduling of pool games"
