  Hmmm... them putting all the Super Rugby content on liverugby.net - is a bit of a prick.
  It seems liverugby has much smarter geoblocking (looks like it's in AWS? They might have a better list of VPN proxies to block, maybe?).
  I can still login to rugbypass, and look at Six Nations and whatever... but no Super Rugby for me, from any VPN location I've tried thus far.

  Where do you live??

  Back in NZ now, covid-forced repatriation. Long story, should probably do a big whinge in one of the appropriate threads some time.
  But this evening, after a day of riding over the Rimutakas, lunch at Lake Ferry, ride back over the Hill - some beers and barmaids flirting - back home, and liverugby still being too geo-smart for me... I go searching for a dodgy website, and find one immediately (and cast-able). Can't complain.

  I try use legal means where possible, my €40 for the season will hopefully help keep NZ rugby afloat. But sky is pretty damn expensive from memory. I personally think paid streaming will be the future rather than traditional broadcasters.

  I’m saying that come mid season I will prolly be interested again

  Wait for a win streak and then jump on the bandwagon 😉

  I mean I’ll interested in Super Rugby by mid season. Chiefs will either be good or bad. That’s is very normal

  @antipodean said in Coronavirus - Overall:

  From the study:

  This study’s sample presents an average age-at-death of 72.9 years; yet only a fraction of the YLL can be attributed to the individuals in the oldest age brackets. Globally, 44.9% of the total YLL can be attributed to the deaths of individuals between 55 and 75 years old, 30.2% to younger than 55, and 25% to those older than 75. That is, the average figure of 16 YLL includes the years lost from individuals close to the end of their expected lives, but the majority of those years are from individuals with significant remaining life expectancy. Across countries, a substantial proportion of YLL can be traced back to the 55–75 age interval, however there remain stark differences in the relative contribution of the oldest and youngest age groups (Fig. 2, Panel A). These patterns account for the proportion of YLL for each age group out of the global YLL (see Table S7). In higher income countries, a larger proportion of the YLL is borne by the oldest group compared to the youngest age groups. The opposite pattern appears in low and mid-income countries, where a large fraction of the YLL are from individuals dying at ages 55 or younger.

  The wealthier the country, the longer old people generally live. Stunning insight again from a study of no worth. Paper doesn't make the effort to explain those dying at 55 are likely to have considerably contributed to their own demise.

  Here's a better idea for the authors; YLL by BMI for younger cohort.

  Does it take in to consideration how hard those years are too?

  A 55-70 year old living in the UK has it so much easier than a 55-70 year old in Kenya for example

  Not sure about the specifics, but it did take into account different life expectancies.

  Anyway will be eating a whole lot more today.
  Did 2.km in the pool then a 15km run. Absolutely blasted🤯

  You should skip that mara and go straight for the ironman mate

  He he. No thanks! I also haven’t ridden a bike in about 15 years.

  The marathon will be an epic cnut. My calves are killing me and that was from just 15km! Admittedly the swim involved a lot of kick work but still. I’m thinking the best preparation for a marathon is getting used to a world of pain.

  SR Results Page

  https://www.thesilverfern.com/sr-results

  Aussie Teams and Super Rugby AU are searchable

  No one was asking for this

  Eventually I assume the two comps will combine post covid. So I'll keep the results in one place now.

  Match Details

  I realised we were capturing a lot of info about games. So now that is collected on a single page.

  On the SR & NPC results table recent matches will have a View Details button:

  view details.png

  Clicking on that opens a new page with teamlists, highlights and the top 10 liked posts from the TSF thread.

  The teamlists were correct when they were named. I wouldn't rely on them being correct though.

  Currently the details go back to last years NPC and SR Aotearoa. Over time it should become a reasonable reference of what inane jokes were upvoted in match threads
