If you're a sports fan who's easily distracted this is not a bad spot to be. I cover the sports that interest me really, Rugby, Cricket, League, MMA, jelly wrestling, you know the usual stuff. If you want my take on anything just ask and I'll probably give it a crack.
I love sports and I happen to have ADHD so in channel I try and blend those worlds to make thoughtful, creative, weird, funny pieces that can hopefully inform a little, make you laugh a lot and kick you right in the feels occasionally.

research its history, way older than youthink
Hindsight is such a good thing ... arent you guys relieved that that pit is behind the All Blacks and that they are so much better now?
Boys. There's a kenyan fella on the 7s circuit called Patrick Odongo and I reckon he could have Bielle-Biarrey for pace. He is rapid, torched the field at the Dubai 7s.
Port is left side of the ship, starboard is right. Boring, perhaps, but prepare for a brief history lesson. In the days before rudders and tillers an oar was put over the right hand side of the stern to allow the ship to steer. This also meant it was more effective to bring a ship up to a jetty on the left hand side. As a result, starboard is where they had the steering oar (bastardisation of the norse "styrisbord") while the port was the side on which they had the gangway to the port .

No spoilers in thumbnail or title
NEVER PUT SPOILERS IN TITLE OR THUMBNAILS. My case is unique, I always do a youtube workout in the morning before I watch games from the night before. I hide all channels that put spoilers.

37:45 Not a croc roll, but dangerous tackle involving a twist targeted to a lower limb. Montoya got 10 minutes for that. Gros the whole match, meaning the substitute prop had to cover for 70+mn.

A cynical take would be that after 13 losses in a row for Wales, and the record with the Chiefs that Gats is sticking around for the termination payday bc he won't earn anywhere near this money coaching again.
Totally agree about the backline. From 10-15 excluding 11, the entire backs is versatile/utility oriented. We need to get back to Ireland/SA set up of specialised players at each position. Our 10 used to scrape in as a utility/15, 12 used to be 15 or 3rd choice 10, 13 used to be wing, 14 arguably could be a best 15 in world like ben smith/izzy and 15 BB used to be best 10. Our downfall since 2019 has been this set up and is why we are complacent/dont usually finish in sync and its showing in the losses. Last 20 mins used to always win regardless of being behind by 10, now we can barely score.
We need a 10 that is a playmaker/distributer and 12 that runs the ball hard like NL, MN, MF, TU etc that we used to have at 12. Gotta have the ballrunner at 12
The problem with this is that Jordan has been pretty average since moving to his specialised position at 15, and at least so far in his career has looked much better playing 14 at International rugby. That could be a sign that what works in Super Rugby is becoming further removed from International Rugby.
@@JimmyKip Focus of the comment is just how disorganised they are by makeshifting, this has put the limelight on views like yours in which players aren't hitting their straps like they were. losing confidence under Foz
As Joe Schmidt famously said to a certain he should not be named player...." Please Offend Stupid Hermione"...i think that is where posh comes from...
I think Irish feelings towards English people are really not much different to Kiwis, or Scots or Welsh come to that i.e. its kind of culturally ingrained that we hate them, which history classes back up with actual reasons to do so as you grow up, but outside matches against England, no-one really gives a fuck. When it comes to any sport where England are playing, basically every other country on Earth has a general "anyone but England" stance, since English colonialism screwed over almost the entire planet at one point or another, but I very rarely see anyone who genuinely hates England in reality. Also, do a "Plucky Underdogs" category i.e. the team you want to do well, even though you know they probably won't. Is it Fiji? Wales? Italy? Portugal? Georgia? Japan? Not necessarily a shit team, but one who never quite seems to get the wins you feel they deserve. Lots of good contenders this year. Or "Best Out of Position Player". I know Ireland have had things like Gus McCarthy playing back row, Murray on the wing, Van der Flier doing line out throws etc, and I assume there's other oddball instances of it that I don't see as it's outside my sphere of media/nation, but it could be a fun category in my opinion.
No spoilers please 😊
Hope your aztec two step clears up Mark. Tony...get the bicycle clips out mate! #fireinthehole 😂
As you're looking forward, port is left and starboard is right
For me... if I dont want to have the game spoiled... I watch it live... but I think etiquette would dictate that you dont spoil things in titles or thumbnails.
Yeah 100% I reckon only you can guarantee if you get spoiled or not. That being said, it's preferable if people don't drop spoilers. When I first got the thumbnail feedback years ago I kinda also thought "stay off socials if you wanna avoid spoilers". But I remember there was a guy who commented - I think he was living in Canada or something? Basically he was working during the game broadcasts, but would watch them after work. So yeah I figured it's a bit rough to expect folks like that to always stay off socials until they can get to see the game so I'd do my bit and change up the format
I appreciate you changing your thumbnails Mark, I got caught with spoilers a few times from that. Nice to not have to avoid youtube for a morning before you watch a game
Yeah man I think it's better. After getting the initial feedback I changed it up by sometimes putting a losing player in the thumbnail just to create a bit of doubt. But yeah now the format is just totally neutral
"It was like watching someone with a micropenis trying to have sex" As eloquent as ever Tony
You're not drinking quicker , after one beer you just talk slower.
TNT constantly puts spoilers in their highlight titles. Very frustrating!
Ah man is that cos they're new to doing it? The Premiership social media people I think stopped doing that after getting complaints every video
@@TwoCentsRugby I really hope they catch up! Their editing is quite good.
Im just glad u didn’t spoil the mystery of WHO was gassey during the podcast...i suspected it would have been Tony 🤔 Admittedly, the "How did we win that" vid slightly got me!! Thankfully i looked away before knowing whos vid it was. I really enjoy the 8/9 pod, comparing game headlines for each episode is part of their vids, at least "Post mortem " in the title is a heads up to turn away until yr ready
gotta say england team a lot less hateable now that eddie jones is gone
Bielle Biarrey vs Grant Williams would be blockbuster
Both of you are full of poo. NZ played badly because of Italy playing well. Even Robertson refused to say it was because they were tired or any other reason and just praised Italy and you wonder why people love to hate on the All Blacks and love it it when you get beaten. 0 class.
I back Tony on this one. If you open the video, it's your fault. If it's in the title, it's on the creator
Feel like Grant Williams & Louis BIELLE-BIARREY need to hve 100m-Dash!!!!
For me, JMG tried to tip the ball over LBB... But he was at full speed...watching from the couch he could have let LBB grab the ball and hold him up... But for me the stand out is he wasn't left behind in the race
Yeah I just don't reckon "slap the ball" is usually gonna end well 😅
@TwoCentsRugby of course...are 50/50...sometimes you have luck, like when France were dominant on QF qand Eben slap the ball...that 95% of the times would be an intentional knock on and yellow... In the case of JMG It must be hard, specially for a forward, to make a sprint and do nothing...something is sure, that French team has some superstars!!
@@ricotalactea The main difference (aside from whether Eben's had the ball move forward or not) is that Gonzalez' incident ended up with the ball out of play, contravening 9.7b.
@@JimmyKip hi mate... The point is when ever a player slap the ball put himself in risk if being called by the ref... What i said is that when the reward is high...some players might take the risk... And as you pointed out... Mostly are gonna be judged by the result, not the intention... Cause the ball touched grass before went out... And nobody can predict if it's gonna bounce out or in
28:39 my name is actually Kola, pronounced as Cola ... it fucken sucks balls having a branded name , i hate it hahah
Ah man I feel for you... it's probably better than Harry Potter though 😅
@TwoCentsRugby hahah yeah I guess so ? 😆 and I'm in sales ... makes it even trickier to gain trust and rapport with a drink name hahah
16:39 Spoilers on the thumbnail are annoying , if i open it then its on me. Simplest way is to firstly watch highlights then come back watch reactions. 8/9 combo is good with analyses so you watch them after seeing the game.. Podcasts banter please I'm here for that!!!😂😂
I was concerned for you Mark during the intermission, should you really trust a fart while recovering from a bug 😅
Ah now lads... Turn around us fair play.. Who was the gassy arse last time??? 😂😂😂
Tony doing maths the maths of Harry Potter's age is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. First he thinks the way to calculate it is 24 plus 7, then he says 24 plus 7 is 34.
Do folk know the you the UA-camr Kiwi Lads ?
New Pod Title: Two Cents Gets Distended
'Watching someone with a micropenis trying to have sex' hahah
MAAAARK!! That Gonzales yellow card was the exact reason the deliberate knockdown law was created for. He intentionally slapped that ball for the express reason to prevent the opposition player to gather thr ball and score a try. There should not be any discussion on that one.
Yeah I saw a lot of outcry over that one - and I don't reckon he should be slapping it aye. Even if they argue the direction of the hand - it's not a good look
The deliberate knockdown law has nothing to do with what actually happened as there was no knock on, (setting aside what the refereeing team said and communicated). The knock-on rules 11.2 & 11.3 are pretty clear that the ball has to move forward, and in this case the ball very clearly went backwards as the direction is relative to the players dead-ball line. The foul was a potential breach of 9.7b which is about intentionally putting the ball out of play with the hand or arm. The direction the ball goes doesn't matter, it could go straight up & out of the stadium if the action was intentional it can be ruled to be a foul. So in the end the only question is whether Gonzalez was intentionally putting the ball out or not; given it bounced a couple of times, his body made some movement that he was trying to regather I think there's a possible debate there, but as Mark & Tony say, you're putting the decision in the referee's hands going at it with one hand.
@@JimmyKip if I can match your level of technicality... Yes, the ball did go forward. You can clearly see Gonzales' slap affect the motion of the ball in the opposite direction of its momentum causing the ball to go over Bielle-Bierrey's head. This is simple physics. The slap didn't have enough energy to break its momentum towards the try line but did change its momentum enough to go flat. That's why I stand by Luke Pierce's explanation. His hand was pointing to the field of play, it affected the ball in that direction. We can't cry physics when the ball drifts forward in a pass and then ignore it in the case of a knock-on especially when it's as deliberate as this. But as I say... This type of incident is exactly why the deliberate knockdown law exists. The law is intended to prevent players from just knocking the ball down to prevent a line break or a try. No matter which way you look at it. Gonzales' deliberate cynical action prevented Bielle-Bierrey from scoring a try and the sanction he received is correct, and Luke Pierce's on-the-spot explanation is also technically correct.
@@YOYOTh1s I continue to disagree with the knock down, you are allowed to do it so long as it is not a knock on, this is exactly what Etzebeth did which similarly stopped a try but the ball didn’t go forwards and didn’t go out.. I believe it’s not a knock on as the ball doesn’t touch anything after Gonzalez hand until it hits the ground behind where he touched it. As best I can guess all the talk about the direction of the hand is irrelevant to a knock on or down, but part of determining intent for whether he meant it to go out.
@@JimmyKip The direction of the hand is relevant because he affected the motion of the ball in the direction of his try line, which by definition makes it a knock-on, and because there was no clear attempt to catch the ball it is a deliberate knock-on. Yes, you can slap the ball towards your own try line in the field of play, but that is clearly not what Gonzales did. The Etzebeth incident is not an equivalent example because his hand at worst was perpendicular to his try line and at best scooping the ball towards his try line. Further than that, I will have to agree to disagree on this. if you need more help understanding the physics at play, there was a wonderful Mythbusters episode where they shot a bowling ball from the back of a pickup out of a canon in the opposite direction the pickup was travelling. They explain the physics at play really well, and it applies to this situation. I will say again, we can not cry physics when the ball drifts forward with momentum in a pass and then ignore physics in a knock-on.
The way to remember is that “port” and “left” have 4 letters. So port is the left side and starboard is the right side. You’re welcome 👍
Now that's a good tip!
You can tell Eben is not used to scoring tries. The way he went down as he scored was so awkward, I thought he broke a leg or something 😂😂😂
Up to an hour after the game finishes no spoilers, after that I don't mind.
Favorite moment from the Scotland vs. Australia game was when the announcer was talking about Harry's debut and said, "You're a wallaby, Harry!"
Lol I missed that one
