Re: Official Springboks thread
Weren‘t the Boks supposed to play Ireland again in the EOYTs?! Would make it a Grand Slam tour. The test windows in July and November are each just 3 weekends, so only 3 tests can be played. As a result it's unlikely that we'll get another Grand Slam opportunity anytime soon. The first test against...

Re: Chasing the Sun 2
Just watched the last episode. My avator man is a legend. Wat 'n yster! Much like Willie in 2019, I didn't even know Fourie was carrying a shoulder injury into the final. I really hope his injury vs La Rochelle wasn't a career-ender. He deserves a better send-off than that! His performances in the ...

Re: Chasing the Sun 2
So many good quotes, especially for Nienaber's speech. "You're just a f**king obstacle to hop over for them" "fudge you, we'll write our own script" And Rassie's speech at the end was unbelievable moving. That one minute carried more weight than any political party speech I've seen in SA in years. ...

Re: Favourite Rugby Commentator
Hugh Bladen. Not so much in his later years when he became quite clumsy though. But he was the enigmatic voice of South African rugby for many years. Bladen, for sure. Legendary. THE Voice of SA Rugby. Grant Nisbitt for NZ. He’s horrific. Yes he is. I rather meant he is the voice of nz Rugby
