  1. When will this registration open for other plebs?
  2. That's what I meant with knockout rugby. Last WC the Blacks did the same thing to the Frogs in the pool stages, and how did the final turn out? Low scoring one point difference or something?
  3. They've been showing the history of the WC on World of Rugby interviewing players with an insert of John Smit talking about how they've focussed on this for 4 years leading up to '07. He mentioned "believe". Said something like saying you believe is one thing and acting like you believe being another. It meant you have to walk like you believe and look like you believe you're going to win the WC which every member of that squad did. They showed an image of Smit leading that team onto the field walking out the tunnel next to the English and I must admit the look on his face and the stride in his steps described everything he was articulating in his words through this interview so many years later. That really drove home for me what it takes to win the WC. The All Blacks look good. AS ALWAYS. But knockout competitions doesn't suite their style of play.
  4. Apparently P1's is supposed to be far more painless than the Vectors, although that could be the marketing talk. Let's see once it's rolled out for use. Price wise seems good. Isn't the Vectors retailing for more than 20k? Compared to crank based systems still pricey though.
  5. I'd definately opt for the trees (it's not a cliff - trees are set back). At the very least you have time to look for a soft landing spot or roll. Coming to a dead stop at that speed is just bad news.
  6. He was not the only one misjudging that turn but was the most unlucky I reckon. Sure he came in too hot and out of control but so did others (ever so slightly maybe)
  7. Sounds plausible but it implies I'm sub3 material so I'm not convinced. I finished just outside the top 1000 in 2015 and top 1000 did 3:08 in 2014. Not that we can compare anyway. The longer distance I'm sure changes the entire spectrum considering endurance and fatigue.
  8. Probably not far off considering the winners did 1:01 but I would venture a sub 1:10 equivalent to the sub 3 full monty.
  9. While I agree this ref's interpretation is dodge at best we clearly haven't learnt from the past. We should have people who analyse these refs, their views and games officiated. Ultimately we have to play to the refs whistle. That means adjusting our play to what the ref is doing. Not what we've trained, been told or thought beforehand.
  10. Recorded the game and walked in on the last 5 minutes. No need to watch but now I can't comment. Not often I root for an Aussie team but I liked that result. All Black's looked mediocre. But still world cup winning material considering the poor opposition.
  11. LMAO. Was *** praat maar net geld, you would've been in a position to buy the entire Hub entries to the Tour next year.
  12. Therein is the confusion. I believe last year was 35k cap including international. I might be wrong though.
  13. We didn't do too badly this year no? 32k finishers. Most in any of the Tours I've done.
  14. I didn't actually know about this case. Took a while to conclude. What BS is that about falling asleep for a split second after drinking the previous afternoon? *** Storie.
  15. Couldn't have been a better final. Chuffed for the Landers. Thoroughly deserved. Very impressive how these guys can stick to and still execute their game with such high stakes and obviously immense pressure and doing it so well on top of it. Compared to some SA teams that seem to just flop in playoff games. That's not a criticism bytheway. Just an observation.
  16. Very difficult to avoid the germs in the metal tube.
  17. Relieved not be down with infection today. Yeeehaaaaa! Sorry guys. Those suffering but I've been sick to much already.
  18. Also feel like I'm getting a respiratory infection. Third time this year. Hope I won't be down and out tomorrow.
  19. Liven this up a bit. Criterium du Dauphine #7: Louis Meintjes 3rd on Queen stage 13 June 2015 - 08:25 | Press The 7th and queen stage of the Criterium du Dauphine would be a spectacular day for MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung. Louis Meintjes put in a phenomenal ride to claim 3rd place on the stage, only beaten by stage victor Chris Froome (Team Sky) and Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing)! https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/news/road/international-road/criterium-du-dauphine-7-louis-meintjes-3rd-on-queen-stage-r2763
  20. You mean 4.35
  21. He should be about ready to turn pro in twenty sixteen
  22. Machine!!!☺
  23. Also find I get insanely high speeds on my trainer but I only work to wattage. Between the IDT and road the numbers are the same. But resistance on the IDT/cadence has taught me to look at this closely in terms of what cadence/sweet spot gives the best output.
  24. Dinner. Carrot soup and seafood risotto with white wine and lemon juice. My black mussels was meant to finish of the colour but they wouldn't open. Dammit.
