Think I found my Metallica Monday track for today!

 

Pau vs Northampton was great to watch yesterday whilst peeling tatties

Great to see Edinburgh and Glasgow winning, great start from a Scottish perspective. Now to back it up next weekend and be pole position for home lasr 16s

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Didn't change any positions, they started on different tyres. No problems

Fairly uneventful in the end. Norris doing what he and McLaren should have done 2 races ago and played it safe. Great to see, and he's a fantastic new winner

Thanks, really well hidden feature here for someone I'm sure

Ooh, got any links on how Leap does this? My searching isn't yielding much

Turn 1 spiceyness. Max ending up with Oscar behind him, but some minor damage so only just. Norris keeping clean, but running 4th. Max pits early for alt strat and new front wing. Then has to hunt. And he does, car after car taken each lap and he's back in 4th himself. With Russell in 3rd having taken fresh tires himself. Oscar beside himself with the 1st, but Norris still keeping it clean and managing the gap. Then we see Russell go wide in a strange corner, blaming a wind gust/back marker. Max takes 3rd and Norris is next. Norris basically pulls over to let him through, wasting no time at all on Max. Oscar now sweating bullets does the same, tries to back Lando up to Russell, who does not want anything to do with being kingmaker. Retires the car so much so. Then Tsunoda is there, in 4th and he wipes out both McLarens on the last corner in a very obvious team call. Meaning the FIA have to decide: scrap the last lap from standings or let it stand. Lawyers are armed and ready, this to be the most legally fought for racing lap in history with the FIA announcing a special last 2 lap shoot out to occur in 2h instead. All cars in park ferme to receive 2L of fuel and to start on the grid in 2h in last but one lap order. Then Lance stroll, somehow in 5th himself, causes a last lap 10 car pile up and causes a red flag. Shoot out is declared void and last 2 laps too, meaning Lando takes it

Popcorn at the ready

Yeah, totally is. There's a reason nobody publishes diffs

We are underprepared in the west for sure. But that's probably all right. One of the big points from WW1 was that large standing millitaries meant they needed to be used. Armies beget war as much as any other factor. This is why NATO is so important. The collective force of it means that we don't need to be as prepared. Which has seen unprecedented levels of peace in the west since its inception

Patching means rebuilding. And packagers don't really publish diffs. So it's use all your bandwidth instead!

 

The Champions and Challenge Cup both kick off tonight, with so much cross country rugby, it's going to be a hoot!

The Champions Cup has 4 pools this year, the Challenge 3. And it is a weird pool stage, then round of 16 knock out for Champions cup, with 5th placed teams going to the Challenge cup, 6th being eliminated. And the Challenge Cup a similar format, but with 1 pool being added essentially. Anyway!

Let the rugby begin, my picks of the weekend to watch are Sale vs Glasgow tonight, Bath v Munster tomorrow, and Gloucester vs Castres Sunday.

As always: predictions, reactions and shitposts appreciated, and enjoy your rugby!

I'd sooner take France than Ireland at the moment, far too many years of hurt

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Argh, fucking Ireland again!

 

Wales vs SA at 1510 UTC today, and loads of URC and some English Prem this weekend too. Hard to see Wales getting much out of this match, so what are we all looking forward to instead?

As always, predictions and reactions more than appreciated, have a great rugby weekend!

 

I am Olap's complete lack of surprise

 

A good read here about the recent nationals. But a bit English focussed

 

No reason to be so damned early! Will I be able to make it out? Time will tell

 

Finals weekend in London sure to be a riot of rugby, will be trying to get a ticket for sure! Anyway, here's the summer and winter fixtures confirmed also for 2026, enjoy your holiday planning too

 

Toonie oot. High time indeed

 

Good morning lemmy rugby fans! What a tasty weekend of rugby we have in store. Including the All Blacks vs England. England on 9 in a row, the ABs aiming for a grand slam tour. This one has classic written all over it!

We also have the interesting Wales vs Japan match, both struggling for form but hoping a new coach bounce makes a difference from the repeat fixture in the summer. And Scotland vs Argentina tomorrow which is crucial for world ranking positions, with both teams wanting that top pot position for the world cup.

As always, predictions, reactions, and shitposts all appreciated, and have a great weekend wherever you are :)

 

Hello rugby fans. Great weekend for it today, with plenty of rugby to delight us

My pick of the day. Scotland vs NZ as I'm going! But France vs SA a pretty tasty affair too

As always, predictions, reactions and shitposts all wanted, have a great Saturday!

 

Big match for the Scots this weekend. Can't wait for team lists!

 

Correct as of 4th of November 2025. Quite a spread! 1-5 and 6-9 showing a fairly clear grouping at this stage
