@minerva_owl1 @54JohnBull In Australia we have “snack packs” which is doner kebab meat on top of hot chips, for the exact same reasons!

@OGHustle_Rugby It was a little bit cheeky from #5 there

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

He knew what he was doing haha #BRUvRED

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@HuwTindall Thought he looked good, even. Positioning was good, went looking for work in attack, made his kick at goal, made his tackles. Looking forward to seeing more.

@MikeCarlton01 Looking at FuelCheck in Sydney and prices haven’t changed that much? Especially looking at the lowest available prices.

Looking at averages, they’ve only gone up $0.10~0.20 or ~5% on the yearly trend, if that.

28 day average did shift a bit more.

@patbahn @BlissfulTango @lukeweston It is! As far as I recall colourless as a gas, though.

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@BlissfulTango @lukeweston The sky is blue, but the gases that make up the atmosphere are not blue.

Similar to blue birds, the blue of the atmosphere is a structural colour, caused by how the thing is arranged rather than its material properties.

This gas is blue due to its nature, not its location.

@Truthful_ast Wasn’t the issue with SkyLab that they’d be floating just out of reach of anything, and they either had to wait or get help?
You seem to mean (1) but “stuck .. ala SkyLab” would mean (2):
1) permanently incapable of self propulsion
2) temporarily incapable of self propulsion

@CudmoreJock Agree, it is very wet though

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

Nice passage of play there. Might have been one questionable pass though… #JPNvAUS

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@goldust02 @TheVoon @RugbyReg Yep, the one that got called back was called play on originally so can only guess it looked different live, or he missed the specific knock on and was talking about something else. Unfortunately (fortunately?) tv makes it hard to know what should be ‘clear and obvious’ to the ref

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@goldust02 @TheVoon @RugbyReg Conversely, if they’re not 100% sure I’d rather the play go on and then check it. Hard to get the balance right though as no one likes losing 5 minutes of game time to a missed knock on. Ideally quick interventions from the TMO, or no TMO at all.

@rugby_podcast Donaldson was kicking well until he got tired, lineouts were great, hands were silky, pretty good all round.

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@ryoheyoshimatsu When it was 15 vs 13 you could tell the Japanese players were very tired. At that point they had been defending a lot so not too surprising. Probably too many turnovers from line outs and not making touch on penalties.

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@GazaBytes Honestly I thought the officials were ok. Wasn’t able to watch too closely so I might have missed some stuff, but the game seemed fairly free flowing (good!) and I think the skill and cohesion of the teams was the deciding factor. Lineout turnovers were a big part for eg.

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

That wasn’t high at all was it? Man on the ball has to listen to the ref though. #JPNXVvAUSA

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

Was almost another try assist off the unintentional header! #JPNXVvAUSA

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

What a finish by Ryan. 11 tries now for Aus A. #JPNXVvAUSA

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

Well that red feels a bit inconsistent with prior reviews. For me he was relatively passive so would have said low degree of danger but have only seen it a couple of times. #JPNXVvAUSA

[Andrew Ardill @AndrewArdill]

@steve_l15 Was at least 30. I think he started near the 10m line
