A Bok B/C** team v an Italian A/B team - should be interesting.

** there are a couple of A players (e.g. PSdT back from injury), but there are some D/E team players, so it evens out to a B/C team.

You bring on the incredible bomb squad whose impact is seen immediately yet you leave on the worst player of the day so that any impact they make is nullified. If Grant Williams had started that match, the scoreline would have resembled Italy Argentina. Jayden has been poor for a while, needs to be...

Springbok scrum must be the best in the world at the moment? Who are the other strong scurmmaging teams? Yes, I agree that the Boks are best at scrums at the moment...but, from memory, (i.e. no detailed stats analysis), Ireland and NZ are a match v SA for most of the game...but tend to wilt a littl...

I'm a fortunate Saffer who's able to live in many different countries. Also, my eldest is in Dublin, my next born is in London and my youngest will probably work overseas after she qualifies next year. So, the pull for us (with the wife being the dominant part of "us") to emigrate is quite high, but...

Didn’t they make one of these after they lost to NZ then beat Namibia, Italy, Canada, Japan, Wales & England? Overhyping twats. Despite getting humped by 12 points, the scoreline between the ABs and Eng in RWC '19 nevertheless flattered the former. Thus, an AB fan acting in a condescending manner r...

How do you get your conversion charged down under the posts like that? Moody kicked it too low. Mistake by the rookie, but he did get a long FG earlier...so I'm reluctant to get too pi$$ed off. That’s a massive mistake in hindsight. Yeah, but maybe Mahomes would've won the game with a TD on 4th dow...

Stade de France /thread Agreed. It takes forever to get there as the traffic is shite and it's in the middle of nowhere. Further to the latter point, there is also f'kall happening around the venue.

My brother in law followed the Boks camp in Corsica, as a local FFR staff. He was struck by the fantastic atmosphere among players and staff, how laid back everybody were and he is convinced this played a great role in their victory. They were truly enjoying themselves.

Bongi's "crass" statement and the jokes in South Africa are testament to how f**king ridiculous the false allegations were in the first place. South Africa has suffered exponentially from racism.

You knew exactly what kant meant though.

In the wider African continent there must be some other countries where the game could be grown? Maybe Kenya who already have a decent 7s team?

Is there much transference of players from South African club level to Namibia based on family history?
