Twitter is awful, but everyone occasionally needs a void to scream into...

@bmcevoy @WorldRugby @emirates Correct and glad someone has some common sense here

@doctorow Would you agree tech has moved from the bad (as in apple) of enshitification, ruining user experience in the name of profit - to the bad (as in faith) of "evilifaction", putting users in harm's way in the name of progress?

@SamsungTV I can't believe I paid you for a tv and you have the audacity to force ads into the interface. Never again.

@sama Even Tesla recalled their vehicles when it was clear the gas pedal could get stuck flat out.

I think I finally understand Bazball.
It wouldn't take too many overs standing around, watching the Aussie #9 tonk about 120km half-trackers on day 3 to prompt the thought "How could we make this end on day 2?"

@garlzee @TightFive_Rugby Ah yes, the "nobody should care unless he is permanently blinded" defence. Remarkable.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@DanBoiBach @jacque0001 @TightFive_Rugby "Cite your sources!"
*cites sources*
"Not like that!"

One of the all time greatest.

@BMcSport @89combo @SquidgeRugby One could also pay $444 for the full year if they forgot to cancel and have access to the same amount of Wallabies games....

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport @89combo @SquidgeRugby Op, my miscalculation - it's 17+20=37 x 6 months = $222

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport @BMcSport please support my petition to @CricketAus for the #Ashes to play 25 days, no matter how many tests that takes.
Imagine going to the SCG 5-4 up, with England 6/260 chasing 300 in second innings of the 10th and the final test still to come.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport @89combo @SquidgeRugby And no, I'm not paying Stan $444 for a 6 month subscription just to watch the Wallabies play the 8 times they aren't on FTA TV.
Rights management in our sport is a mess.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@Aryan42832Goel Didn't though.

@XO_MK678 @Aryan42832Goel Didn't though.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@MervHughes332 this might put your "weirdest hat trick ever" at risk, 3 overs, two innings... Are you willing to risk it?

@BMcSport Played well, had more opportunities than France but failed to convert them when inside the 22.
France scored a lot off broken field play which exposed our defensive system.
Behind the back flick passes should draw a 3 match ban.

Very poor series overall after so much promise.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport Thought the breakdown was a lot better this week. We basically surrendered it to Italy last week, but it was one of our stronger areas against Ireland - lots of contests and smart counter-rucking.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport I thought we played better, but kicking with no chasers at 58min is a bad sign of fatigue.

The added single-man blitz to the passive defence worked everywhere except on the line, where it gave away 3 tries.

Other than that, mark some high balls, fix the lineout, get a #10.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport @danielgallan Like being offered a sandwich and asked whether you want the filling or the bread.

[Ben McEvoy @bmcevoy]

@BMcSport 50-50 whether he smiles and gives me a big hug or shoulder charges me for no reason.
In either case, it'd be great to have you there to collect the pieces afterwards.
