Yep. Ultimately a disappointing game but that is down to La Rochelle being a bit rubbish on the day against top tier opposition. Dunno if the talk about all the travel is fair but they certainly looked off the pace.

Leinster will be favourites now they got that monkey off their back in such style.

A couple of years ago I called La Rochelle just Exeter with more power, and I think that's still kinda true - when the power doesn't give them a match winning advantage, they actually look quite clueless. Funnily enough Exeter are far more imaginative these days... So, smart money on an epic Leinste...

Lovely try

(Very funny seeing Aldritt losing it at Dickson and trying to explain the laws to him, but LaR are totally gone here)

Using the ref excuse is just blind.

Literally no one is saying the ref is why Leinster are winning, they are by far the better team.

Extremely funny to call that a knock on - Porter just loses it backwards in contact, it's not ripped. An example of a baffling decision that made no difference. Leinster have been pretty ruthless, and LaR have not really had any answers. The physical difference between the two sides hasn't been quit...

How very dare you

Lmao not even on the ball Regardless of liking or disliking Leinster, it is paramount that we continue to point out how Karl Dickson is one of the worst refs around be that as it may, he is not being bad evenly Yeah, but bad refs often decide the narrative like that. Some are homers, some just give...

Looked okay tbh. LaR probably don't want too many replays because there was a huge upright shot in midfield that looked pretty bad at first glance

Tichtheid wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:23 pm The funniest moment of that half wasn't the "pass" for the the try, for me it was J G-P rolling the ball back in the tunnel instead of feeding the scrum

She's calling you English, you gonna stand for that??

Superb by Baird.

Surely that's lost forward by Lowe? It's not a pass. Lowe has lost it forwards and it's caught by JGP. If he had released it first I could understand the call, but... You can't place the ball into the hands of a player in front of you. Yeah, but that isn't quite what happened. While holding the bal...

Yeah. Obviously I want LaR to win primarily for the lolz, but that was a bonkers call at the scrum.

Karl Dickson is having a laugh with these advantages.

Fair play, I didn't think much would top Leinster fans singing allez les bleus for cringe, but having the stadium announcer lead them through a mediocre version of the Viking clap is up there

Holy shit

That was feeling a lot like the premiership final game, just two high quality teams slugging it out until the very end with some superb scores.

Superb performance, superb result. Incredibly proud of that.

Fin Baxter, Will Collier... Wow.

Christ we're good sometimes. Real shame this isn't a 40 minute game...

This times headline makes it seem like they're accusing the Bulls for sure, but the article shows it's people within SA rugby saying it.

Surely not Guy Porter, the world class centre

The English press have come out slating the Bulls for sending a B team. But obviously it's fine when other teams do it, like Lyon did last week. I hope the Bulls smash the Saints. Have they really. Post some links old chap. I thought the Saffer press were the ones complaining about White's rotation...

Os - you can't effectively train these models solely on your own data. It simply isn't enough. They require huge datasets in order to function at the most basic level.

I remain quite sceptical. Most automated processes are totally unsatisfactory and require humans to circumvent. I don’t see that changing massively. Like I said, I don't think any career goes extinct. But 1 human can oversee 5 AI conversations, only having to intervene here and there, rather than n...

It's only going to get better, and probably quickly. I'd be very careful of looking into any career that can be supplemented with AI, unless you have a serious passion for it. If humanity does it right, it's a huge positive. As it won't, it's going to cause issues. It's a massive assumption that it...

More and more I am finding myself having quite an extreme view on AI, and it is not in favour. Essentially, what I'm seeing is CEO's frothing at the mouth with an unsaid ambition to half their workforce. Or, if they could, get rid all together. Then of course, what I'm starting to feel is more and ...

Near ideal game of rugby. Lovely stuff.

Horrible kick by Smith. He's had a couple of iffy moments this half, surprisingly

That offload off the floor was more forward than an Amsterdam red light girl

Gorgeous. Simple but brilliantly executed.

USE THE WIND

Someone's lucky that clear out wasn't looked at, straight into Ludlum's head

Okay I admire the desire to put the ball through the hands but someone should've put the foot through that one given it was an entire back line of slow forwards

Fair to say Fin Smith telegraphed that inside ball a bit

Munster with a quality response. This is a great match already.

Edit: running at Dingwall is always going to bear fruit. Bad missed tackle given what the rest of the team is doing
