ABs v AUS Rugby Bledisloe Cup How to watch Wallabies vs All Blacks in Melbourne (kickoff at 9.45pm)

ABs v AUS Rugby Bledisloe Cup : the first test between the Wallabies vs All Blacks at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne (kickoff at 9.45pm):

It’s a rare Thursday night test as the Wallabies host the All Blacks in a crucial Rugby Championship/Bledisloe Cup clash.

With this time of year in Melbourne being all about the backend of the AFL season and the Melbourne Storm making their usual finals run, the test was scheduled for the first midweek Bledisloe Cup match since 1994.

And it just so happens the game was moved for nothing. The two AFL games this week are in Sydney and an hour down the road in Geelong while the Storm were knocked out of the NRL playoffs last weekend. But the test is set to be a sellout at Marvel Stadium (nee Colonial Stadium/Telstra Dome/Etihad Stadium).

Bledisloe Cup: How to watch Wallabies vs All Blacks

The Wallabies and All Blacks will once again battle it out for the Bledisloe Cup, set to open the series in Melbourne on September 15.

Dave Rennie’s men are hungry to bounce back after a disappointing defeat to the Springboks in Sydney. They face a All Blacks outfit full of confidence after their thumping victory over Argentina in Waikato.

The two-Test series will then head to Eden Park on September 24, with the Wallabies out to win the Cup for the first time in nearly two decades

How to watch New Zealand All Blacks vs Wallabies Rugby Bledisloe Cup 2022 ” When does it start, Live streams and schedule”

The Wallabies’ clash with the All Blacks will be shown LIVE on Stan Sport and the Nine Network.

Coverage will be live and ad-free on Stan Sport, slated to start at 7:00 pm AEST with kickoff expected at 7:45 pm AEST.

The game will also be shown on free-to-air television on Channel 9 (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) and 9GO (Perth and Adelaide) with coverage beginning at 7:30 pm AEST

The All Blacks head into the game with a one-point lead atop the Rugby Championship standings over the Springboks, Wallabies and Pumas.

Frenchman Mathieu Raynal is in charge of the test – he was the referee when Ireland beat the All Blacks for the first time in the 2016 Chicago test. A better omen for All Blacks fans, they’ve won their other three tests with Raynal including a 54-16 drubbing of Wales in Cardiff last year.

Wallabies vs All Blacks History:

It’s the All Blacks against the Wallabies so there’s a little thing (well not so little) called the Bledisloe Cup up for grabs. The Wallabies haven’t had their hands on the trophy since 2003 and have lost three straight tests to the All Blacks.

The All Blacks and Australia last met in Melbourne in 2010, a 49-28 victory to New Zealand. The Wallabies beat the All Blacks down the road at the MCG in 2007 where they don’t have a great record (1-2). The All Blacks are 4-0 under the roof including three wins during the 2003 World Cup.

The last time the All Blacks and Wallabies played a midweek test was in 1994 when George Gregan made an iconic tackle to deny Jeff Wilson from scoring the match-winner in the corner.

“What do you mean we’ve lost contact with Agent Stern?”

As Director Johassen stares her down from across the desk with a glare almost too composed for comfort, Agent Raynal wishes more than ever that she didn’t have to be the bearer of this bad news.

Don’t shoot the messenger has always been more of a guideline to Director Johassen than a rule and she knows it.

“Well you see, Agent Stern is stationed in the National Radio Quiet Zone, so we can’t get a hold of him on his cellphone unless he leaves the area and calls us, which he hasn’t in a while. And we wanted to send letters but all we have on the place he’s staying at is that it’s called Amnesty Lodge. There’s no address, no website- We even tried calling to a forest service station out there to get the address and the Ranger we talked to informed us that he had never even heard of Amnesty Lodge.”

He had also said the word ‘fuck’ approximately nine times, but Agent Raynal decided she would leave that tidbit out from her report.

Director Johassen taps his fingers on his desk as he maintains eye contact, locked in a staring contest they both knew he would win. “Agent Stern once called up from the landline of the hotel,” he finally states. “Do we still have that number on file?”

“Yes, but uh, I wouldn’t recommend calling it, we think the number might’ve changed and-”

The tapping on the desk stops and Agent Raynal tries not wince. “Get me the number. I’ll call them myself.”

A few minutes of digging through files later, Director Johassen dials in the number and waits stony face as it rings out.

“Sup?”

“Yes this is Director Johassen, FBI. Is this Amnesty Lodge?”

The person on the other end goes silent for a moment before replying, “Nah, this is Jake,” and then promptly hangs up.

And as Director Johassen’s face goes beet red, the veins in his forehead bulging out, Agent Raynal really hopes that Stern has a damn good reason for going off the grid like this because if he’s just sitting in a hot tub drinking margaritas somewhere, she’s going to kill him herself.

As Stern soaks in the hot springs behind Amnesty Lodge, a glass of wine in hand with Barclay’s arm wrapped around his shoulder, keeping him pressed to his side as they chat, he can think of no place he would rather be.

“Hey uh dudes?” Both Barclay and Stern look over at Jake as he steps outside. “Yeah totally sorry to interrupt date night, but like the FBI called again.”

“Oh did they?” Stern takes a sip of his wine. “Who was it this time?”

“Some Director guy, Johassen I think.”

Stern takes a longer drink of wine. “They’re getting desperate if he’s calling. I should probably contact them and officially quit, hm?”

“Probably,” Barclay agrees with a light chuckle, waving goodbye to Jake as he heads back inside. “But that can wait til tomorrow.”

Moving his hand up from Stern’s shoulder to the nape of his neck, Barclay starts to gently run his fingers through Stern’s hair. Practically melting at the light touches, Stern lets out a content sigh and curls in closer to his boyfriend’s side.

“So, have you thought about what you’re going to say when you quit?”

Stern hums out a low note. “I found Bigfoot and therefore completed my mission?”

He just catches the way Barclay playfully rolls his eyes at that. “Very funny.”

“I realised I couldn’t keep working for UP with a good conscience?”

Barclay’s fingers go and trace over the sensitive shell of Stern’s ear, sending a shiver through him despite how hot the water is. “That might raise some questions, don’t you think?”

Pausing for a second, Stern smiles before saying,“Okay, how about I fell in love with an incredibly kind and caring and handsome chef and I want to spend as much time with him as possible?”

It’s Barclay’s turn to pause.

Then, Stern just has enough time to set down his glass before Barclay pulls him into his lap and kisses him, slow but with heat and the subtle taste of wine mixed in. When they do finally pull apart, Barclay gives him a smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling up in a way that Stern loves.

“We’ll workshop it.”

ABC Of Typography: The Story Behind The Fonts You Use Everyday

Rugby: Ireland beat Wales in Rugby World Cup warm up to claim world No1 ranking

New Post has been published on https://diary.nz/rugby-ireland-beat-wales-in-rugby-world-cup-warm-up-to-claim-world-no1-ranking/

Rugby: Ireland beat Wales in Rugby World Cup warm up to claim world No1 ranking

Ireland 19 Wales 10

World Rugby’s rankings system is a nonsense. Everyone knows that.

Ireland lost 57-15 at Twickenham two weeks ago to cap a largely dreadful 2019, after which they were widely written off as a team past their sell-by date.

They know they are not the best team in the world right now. Their fans know. They are playing nowhere near as well as they were 12 months ago. So their ascension to world No 1 for the first time in their history after this 19-10 win over Wales should be taken with a hefty pinch of salt.​

Still, for those trying to read the runes as we gear up for the World Cup in two weeks, it may be worth noting that, since the rankings system was introduced in 2003, and apart from South Africa in 2007, every tournament has been won by the team ranked No 1 in the world heading into the World Cup.​

It is not a bad omen.​

Whatever, this was certainly a good note on which to head to Japan; Ireland’s best performance since beating the All Blacks last November. Just what the doctor ordered.​

Joe Schmidt had brought the big guns back for a match he dared not lose after that Twickenham shellacking. And while they began nervously, Ireland grew more convincing the longer the match wore on, Tadhg Furlong and James Ryan deservedly crossing in the second half after Rob Kearney and Hadleigh Parkes had traded first-half tries. By the finish the crowd at the Aviva Stadium were in full voice and the confidence was seeping back into Irish veins.​

Johnny Sexton managed to come through unscathed – despite taking a couple of lusty blows – and even injuries to Cian Healy and Keith Earls could not dampen the mood as Rory Best and Schmidt were given standing ovations on their final appearances at the Aviva.​

Schmidt said that Earls, who suffered a bang to the quadriceps, would be assessed on Sunday.​

Wales were far from their fluent best. In a predictably bruising encounter, they too suffered casualties. Rhys Patchell, deputising for Dan Biggar, went off for an HIA from which he never returned. Warren Gatland insisted his young fly-half would be “fine” to travel to Japan, but there must be doubts given how often Patchell seems to get concussed.​

Gatland will be equally concerned by the way his team lost the initiative after a bright start in which Leigh Halfpenny missed a straightforward penalty. Then Rob Kearney scrambled across to beat George North to a Halfpenny grubber.​

Robbie Henshaw, back in the midfield for Ireland, was having a big impact. He nailed two early tackles, which woke the crowd up. The Athlone man also straightened up nicely on one run before offloading to midfield partner Bundee Aki. Garry Ringrose will do well to dislodge either of them on this showing.​

Ireland’s line-out was less assured. After all the talk of Devin Toner’s exclusion in favour of Jean Kleyn – not only the rights and wrongs of “project players”, but the wisdom of leaving behind a 6ft10in man mountain – Ireland promptly lost their first two line-outs. Their third, though, led to Kearney’s try, CJ Stander and Aki making inroads before the ball was worked out to Kearney who beat Jonathan Davies on the outside shoulder.​

Things got worse for Wales when Patchell went off.​

Wales almost returned the favour with Sexton taking a couple of heavy blows. The entire stadium held its breath as their talisman stayed down clutching his ribs following one bone-crunching tackle from Jake Ball. But he dusted himself off, eventually lasting an hour before being replaced by Jack Carty.​

It was nip and tuck in the first half. Biggar, on for Patchell, intercepted a Sexton pass and ran half the length of the pitch only to be tackled brilliantly by Henshaw on the line. It was a temporary reprieve for Ireland, though, Parkes running a nice line off a ruck to crash over from close range, taking referee Raynal out in the process. Wales led 10-7 at half-time.​

Ireland took control in the second half, Furlong muscling over from close range, and then Ryan managing to ground the ball.​

Best, who was given a guard of honour by his team-mates at the end, looked choked up by the send-off. As did Schmidt, though the New Zealander admitted his overriding emotion as his squad prepared to fly out to Japan ahead of their first match against Scotland in Yokohama on Sept 22, was one of “relief”.​

And the No 1 ranking? Schmidt smiled. “Irrelevant,” he said. “We know who the favourites are for the World Cup and it’s not us.” True, but at least they once again have something on which to build. And in the nick of time.​

'Lord help us': Past history of Lions series' referees against the Springboks dug up creating concerns over standard

11:21pm, 12 June 2021 Much has been made over the announcement of the Springboks and Lions squads for the upcoming tour of South Africa, but little emphasis has been made over the appointment of the referees for the series.ADVERTISEMENTNew Zealander Ben O’Keefe, Australian Nic Berry and Frenchman Mathieu Raynal were named as part of the officiating team for the test series.South African fans have been involved in controversies with other referees in the past when things haven’t gone the Springboks’ way.

Spirit of Rugby | Episode 5Bryce Lawerence was vilified by the South African rugby public after the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal, while Jerome Garces was a target following the loss to the All Blacks in the pool stages of the 2019 World Cup.The officials for the Lions series will be under just as much scrutiny, but one vocal South African fan has already claimed that the Springboks should be worried over the appointments, with all three referees having made big calls against the Springboks in the past.The fan took exception to the appointments by stating ‘Lord help us’.Nic Berry Ben O’Keeffe Mathieu Raynal.The Lions Series referees. Lord help us.— AP Cronje (@rugby_ap) June 8, 2021ADVERTISEMENTBen O’Keefe was the referee in 2017 when Wallabies fullback Israel Folau dragged Dillon Lleyds over the sideline by his hair, however no yellow card infringement was issued much to the surprise of the Springboks.Ben O’Keeffe. The guy who looked at this and thought ‘yeah no problems’. pic.twitter.com/70X0WSXiqx— AP Cronje (@rugby_ap) June 8, 2021O’Keefe issued just a penalty despite protests from Lleyds who claimed that Folau ‘100 per cent’ pulled his hair twice.“He actually pulled me by the hair twice. He had one go at it and then he got his left hand on and pulled me down again,” Lleyds said after the match.“I don’t know what their version of the story is, but 100 per cent he got me by the hair.”ADVERTISEMENTWallaby coach Michael Chieka got into a heated argument with a journalist in the after-match press conference, backing up Folau saying he was pulled by the collar of the shirt and not the hair.However, video and still images of the incident show a different story in favour of Lleyd’s claims.Mathieu Raynal, meanwhile, was officiating a European game earlier this year between Sale and Scarlets when Welsh lock Jake Ball put a dangerous crusher tackle onto defenceless Springbok halfback Faf de Klerk at the base of the ruck.Mathieu Raynal. The guy who looked at this and thought ‘yeah no problems’. pic.twitter.com/TyFUccPtra— AP Cronje (@rugby_ap) June 8, 2021De Klerk was hit high around the chops by a swinging arm by Ball and luckily escaped a serious leg injury as his body folded under the weight of the Welsh big man.It was questionable whether the ball was out at the time, but the height of the tackle was not reviewed despite the protests of de Klerk and other Sale players.The Twitter user admitted he had seen less of Australian Nic Berry and did not have any suggestions that his involvement was a bad thing for the Springboks.When asked who else would be suited, he could only point to English referees as being up to standard but suggested that is the problem.The frustration is that there are some good referees out there… but they all seem to be English. So what’s the RFU doing right that no one else is? There also needs to be some accountability for poor refereeing because standards almost across the board seem to be pretty mediocre— AP Cronje (@rugby_ap) June 8, 2021South Africans Jaco Peyper, AJ Jacobs and Marius van der Westhuizen were also named as part of the officiating teams for the warm-up games involving the South African club sides.Despite concerns from the fans, the Springboks could use the tactics they used in Japan at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.The Springboks came out after their World Cup victory and offered detail of their strategy for managing the referees, which involved detailed psychological profiling of each ref to help understand how they could be manipulated.It was used on Jerome Garces in the final to try to help win crucial calls the Frenchman would make during the game, by praising him on his fitness and conditioning to make the referee feel good about himself.

Netflix premieres the comedy 'One Love, A Thousand Weddings'

In the 1990s, romantic comedies were a major source of income in Hollywood. Actors like Hugh Grant, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts and many other stars were Celebrity with this cinematographic genre. In the following decade, the genre continued to rise and new stars were revealed in this type of film.

Currently, the genre, which completes ninety years in 2020 (the first production of the genre was “A Divorciada”), found in the streaming giant Netflix a place to seduce new generations.

Mass production

The company's catalog is filled with films of the genre, be it the productions of past decades, or its immense production of romantic comedies. But the strategy of mass production of this type of film has its negative side, by choosing the quantity to attract more and more audiences, it is lost in the quality of the products presented.

That's what happens with Netflix's new comedy, “Love Wedding Repeat” by director Dean Craig, who also wrote the script.

The film is a remake of “Plan de Table” (2012) directed by French filmmaker Christelle Raynal.

The plot

In its prologue, the film shows the protagonist Jack (Sam Caflin) in Rome, on a visit to his sister Hayley (Eleanor Tomlinson). Also in Italy is Hayley's American friend, Dina (Olivia Munn). The British Jake and the American Dina end up getting involved, but, by chance, they could not start a romance.

They would only have another chance three years after the meeting in Italy, when the two return to the country for Hayley's wedding.

However, things get extremely complicated at the wedding party when Jack has to resolve several situations involving an ex-case of his sister who threatens to ruin the wedding party. Impossible as soon as Jake declares his love to Dina.

Dean Craig's film is not a typical romantic comedy, as it mixes elements of the Movie theater fantastic, in principle this would be a welcome strategy, but the film is so confusing that any promise of creativity that it could present, ends up not being realized.

Perhaps the resemblance of Sam Caflin – who became known in the production “How I Was Before You” – with also the British Hugh Grant, who was famous for his romantic comedies of the 1990s and early 2000s, makes this situation even more embarrassing production, which looks like a mixture of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (film starring Grant himself) and the classic “Feitiço do Tempo”.

Most of the film takes place in the setting of the wedding party, in which situations of the most absurd possible are seen, and several strange characters are presented that do not convince in those situations, the problem here is not exactly the unlikely situations that are shown and neither the actors who, even if they don't perform brilliantly, are not to blame for Dean Craig's sloppy direction and poor script.

We'll take everything but the CVT

Almost everything Subaru does well is featured on this car -- the open, airy cabin, simple but well-equipped interior and good interior room, all for a competitive price. It’s coupled here with the brand’s signature stability -- that’s the only way I can describe it; a planted, well-damped ride that’s not sporty, exactly, but oh-so secure.

The Achilles’ heel is the transmission. I’m not into bashing continuously variable transmissions -- there are well-tuned CVTs on the market, some of them in Subarus; this just isn’t one. Initial part-throttle acceleration is too aggressive, after which the car immediately falls on its face as the transmission “shifts” to a too-high ratio and the driver backs off from the lurching start; during coasting, the car seems to randomly provide either too little or too much engine braking, resulting in the need to either hammer the brakes to come to a stop or coming up way short of the light/car/stop sign. The result is that the Impreza is a difficult car to drive smoothly in traffic. 

The issues are all likely in service to fuel economy, though I never saw my average top 24 mpg in mostly city driving, so I’m not sure where the gains are hiding. Given that transmission tuning is all software based, some of the quirks I experienced may already be eradicated by the time you test drive an Impreza. And drive one you should -- the CVT tuning is annoying, but the rest of the car is good enough you need to drive one for yourself.

--Andrew Stoy, digital editor

This five-door is the right price, and it has plenty of utility, but yeah that CVT is just not tuned right. Like Andy said, we’ve been in Subarus with CVTs that are almost entertaining to drive. This is not one of them. Unfortunately, there’s no manual option on the Limited or Premium trim, but you can get a five-speed on the Sport and below.

I like the looks. The front feels sporty and the rear is clean. I also like the character line on the side, which I didn’t notice on our last example, but looks good in black, white and gray. There’s a lot of wheel well, but this is a Subaru, so it has "off-roader" coursing through its veins.

There seems to be a good amount of room in the back seat. I fit my rear-facing child seat back there without moving the front seat too much. I love that the LATCH system connectors are easy to get to. They’re covered by little Velcro flaps so you don’t have to jam the child seat buckles in between seats or anything. Those flaps are even better than the little plastic doors in the German stuff, because those pieces would just be rolling around the floor until the kid grew out of it. There’s not as much room behind the back seat as I expected, though. The space is probably only 2 feet deep and 4 feet wide or so, I wouldn’t complain about another foot of depth.

Besides the seats, the interior is great. The seats are a little hard and a little flat, and not very supportive. The new infotainment screen is way better than the old one -- it works mostly like a smartphone screen. Volume, tuning and climate are all controlled by knobs.

The suspension is a little stiffer than I expected; it crashed a few times over the sharper expansion joints, but the steering is nice and weighty and true.

The CVT would be tough to live with, for me, but I would definitely like to try the five-speed Sport trim that starts a little cheaper.

--Jake Lingeman, road test editor

I have fewer beefs with the CVT than the above writers. It didn’t bother me really. The car isn’t a rocketship, but then I didn’t think it would be. I thought the off-the-line getupandgo was fine mostly… I say mostly because I do agree that sometimes the CVT provides either too much or too little engine braking. It’s inconsistent. Still, didn’t bother me too much.

Besides, there’s so much else to like here, well outlined above. The good-looking exterior, the airy, simple and well-equipped interior, plenty of room… and I do mean plenty: I stuffed this thing full of groceries and garden supplies all in one trip. It was awesome from that standpoint.

Also as noted above there’s a stability/confidence to the way this car drives few can match. Or at least few match at this price point. The ride is quite good for a small car, thanks in large part to Subaru’s new super-stiff global platform. In fact, Subaru says the Impreza is “95 percent new.” The platform is designed to support multiple powertrains, including, Subaru says, plug-ins and EVs.

So, could the Impreza be faster/quicker? I suppose, but will the average buyer notice or care? I doubt it, and those who do can opt for a WRX. What they’ll like is that the car rides well, is a lot quieter and smoother than the outgoing car and that the roomy interior’s build quality is much better.

Subaru sales are up 7.6 percent so far this year, the Impreza up a whopping 41.3 percent. The company just keeps on truckin’…

Graphic Novel Review: ABC of Typography

PUBLISHED: 10:29 22 November 2019 | UPDATED: 10:29 22 November 2019

Matt Adams

Did you know that changes in the direction we write resulted in the letters B, E and P being permanently flipped by Greek scribes?

Or that the carving at the bottom of a Roman column resulted in a font with a class and majesty that resulted in it being used on countless posters for Hollywood blockbusters?

Have you ever wondered why the "&" symbol represents "and"?

Would it surprise you to know that metal letters used in the earliest form of printing press were stored in a type case divided into upper-case on the higher shelves with lower-case letters below them?

This fascinating book charts the origins of humanity's written language through 3,500 years, including the development of the alphabet through printing and publishing, and the origins of fonts such as Gothic, Garamond, Futura and Times New Roman.

Find out how modern writing survived during the Dark Ages, the laborious process behind printing the Guttenberg Bible, and why different publications choose particular fonts for their logos. Meet the creators of history's most famous fonts, including Eric Gill, the man who gave the London Underground its graphic identity, and how Tobias Frere-Jones preserved the distinctive signage of Manhattan in his Gotham typeface.

Author David Rault, himself a graphic designer, has brought together a team of 12 European artists of various styles to reflect the different periods, including Seyhan Argun, Francois Ayroles, Hervé Bourhis, Olivier Deloye, Delphine Panique and Jake Raynal, to create the first-ever graphic history of Latin type.

A remarkable study of the impact of typography on society, through wars, revolutions and cultural epochs, offering candid explanations as to why particular fonts resonate in a certain way. Who would have thought letters could be so interesting?
