@lesstenny @GregMcgarvie I wish all of our politicians were like Pocock. Intelligent, hard working and he has integrity. Oh, and he represents the people who elected him.

David Pocock would have to be my favourite politician.. So genuine, so on the money, so sensible, so easy to listen to, so calm, no freaking crap, lots of common sense, anyone else agrees with this assumption 👍

@mickskehan @TalksRugby What workers do you mean Mick? The game should be played at a time that allows 1st grade to finish their game and get to the stadium. Not mid afternoon ona 40deg day.

@dropindes @TalksRugby Due to our time zone and the $$$ coming from NZ/ East Coast we are restricted with options, play early to allow kids/ Rugby juniors to attend, workers miss out, start late allowing for workers, too late to get the kids home and up for junior footy, Catch 22 unfortunately

Question for the Force fans; looked like a decent crowd last night. Was the difference the later start time? Considering how many NRL fans would have watched to see Lomax, or at least watched his highlights, the loud crowd makes it such a better product.

@mickskehan @TalksRugby Games should always be set to the best time for the local supporters. This equals better crowds with a better atmosphere which means a better TV experience.

@TalksRugby Crusaders always draw a good crowd, the other reason was all grade Rugby (Players supporters volunteers ) have time to get to the game with the later start, constant logistical issue with our time zone

@balumbah @IBloodyLuvRugby Your crossed fingers did the trick 😉

@IBloodyLuvRugby Fingers crossed

At the office

@westernforce @Julieat30 Fantastic win. Very impressed with everyone's performance. I loved Lomaks genuine response to his try. That meant a lot to him. Awesome effort team!

Huge win, definitely a party at the park 🙌 #StrongerTogether

@balumbah How was the crowd?

@HuwTindall Im surprised he hasn't gone nuclear. On paper, the Tahs are a much better team than on grass...

Dan McKellar is channeling Chekia style coaching box blow ups this season and I'm here for it. #WARvMOA

@AppleTV why? Ive entered my phone number and had this msg every time.

@Apple @AppleTV Why is it so hard to cancel my subscription? This is displayed when I enter my number for your 2 factor ID: your site refuses to send me the code!

@ChristypDoran Tahs looked pretty average that first half

Tonight always felt like proper ambush areas. 12-14 at halftime shows it with the Waratahs struggling to get going against last-placed Moana Pasifika. Moana Pasifika going under, players playing for careers, and a team that’s had success over the Waratahs in the past. Big 40.

@konstructivizm Can't wait for the science that the data from this instrument will produce.

A new cosmic eye has opened on the roof of the world. In the Chilean Andes, atop Cerro Chajnantor, the six-meter FYST telescope (pronounced "feast") has been commissioned. The observatory is installed at an altitude of almost 5,600 meters above sea level, higher than Everest Base Camp. Everyone who ascends to the observatory is given an oxygen tank and undergoes a pre-climb medical examination. These sacrifices are no accident. FYST detects submillimeter radiation—wavelengths between infrared light and radio waves. Water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs these waves almost completely, so these signals can only be used in the driest and highest places on the planet. The Atacama Desert is ideal—it's one of the driest places on Earth. Hidden inside is a clever Crossed-Dragone optic: two mirrors are positioned at an angle to each other, without a shared axis. The design eliminates interference and produces a clear image over a wide field. The main instrument is the Prime Cam camera with seven interchangeable detector modules, totaling more than 100,000 superconducting sensors. FYST's sky imaging speed is ten times faster than its predecessors. The project's goals are ambitious. Searching for traces of primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Mapping galaxy clusters throughout the history of the Universe. Observing the birth of stars within dust clouds. And then there's the Epoch of Reionization—the moment when the young Universe became transparent. Submillimeter light passes through dust, which completely blocks visible light, so FYST will see what conventional telescopes cannot. The structure was assembled in Germany from Invar alloy, which is virtually unaffected by temperature changes. Then everything was disassembled, shipped across the Atlantic, and driven almost 500 kilometers along the Andes mountain roads. It took 34 years from the first drawings to the launch.

@JaneCaro Im still here. Fit and healthy...

Still here. About to get my 8th.

@allenanalysis Britain never followed the US into Vietnam...

Trump threatened to suspend the US-UK trade deal because Starmer refused to join the Hormuz blockade. Starmer’s response: “I am not going to act under pressure. This war is not in my national interest. I cannot yield.” This is America’s closest ally. The country that has followed Washington into every military engagement for 80 years. Starmer already refused the blockade. Called Israel’s bombing of Lebanon wrong from the floor of Parliament. Suspended automatic defense renewals with Israel. And now when Trump threatened the trade relationship — he didn’t move. Britain, Australia, Italy, Meloni — every ally Trump expected to follow him has said no. The blockade has no coalition.

@balumbah @NZSportsWire @footyindustryAU @MoanaPasifika_ @SuperRugby Moana should of been playing home games in Tonga and Samoa, like Fiji play in Fiji. That killed the chance of tribal support.

@NZSportsWire @footyindustryAU @MoanaPasifika_ @SuperRugby Interesting how the Drua five years on have built a tribe, a customer experience and a viable SR team. What can we learn from this? And does anyone want to?

After five years @MoanaPasifika_ will disband at the end of the current @SuperRugby season. Were they given a fair go? Was the ownership model up to scratch? #SuperRugbyPacific #moanapasifika #rugby nzsportswire.com/post/moana-pas…

@jackohawk @JohnBFergo Great defender and bruising tackler too💪

Hear me out ... Dylan Pietsch at 12. Powerful runner, tough, can ball play Re: @JohnBFergo
