Where's Senecca? How long ago did he leave?

White men in 2023 are literally the most privileged humans to have ever existed in the universe The only thing I take issue with is this, white men are not one homogenous group across the world any more than any other group is - I have no problem in agreeing this is the case for the middle classes ...

It's just too close to call. I really can't feel a favourite for this one. It's just gonna be a nerve racker for all SA and NZ fans. You poor buggers.

Toro. I'm saying if you really believe some people have all the power and are supremacists and believe then that because of that you can't be racist to them then it gives you scope to attack them. After all they must be combated right? And you can do it without even having to worry that you're actu...

No. You can torture them to death for being white but you can't be racist to them because they have all the power see.

Haha another great argument. Well ok, you seem to be very sure so I guess you're right. :roll: Well I'm using a dictionary definition, of which there are several. You however seem to be wedded to specifically the more recent meaning that 'progressives' have fought so hard to perpetuate. I'm not tha...

Congrats to the Boks. That’s how a good team finds a way to win. Gutted for England. So gutsy and disciplined but just didn’t have the bench to ice it. This is it exactly. I'm really proud of the effort England made to try and win that but at the end they didn't have the depth. Strong front rowers ...

Proud of England. Massive effort.

Congrats in advance England, see you in the final :thumbup: :lol: But anyway the saffas are a 20 to 30 points better team than England. As has been shown in the comp so far they're the level of Ireland and France who comfortably outclass us. So all I really fear is a 50 point humiliation because I ...

Just say you don’t understand knock out sport That’s all you need to do :thumbup: :lol: You know what’s really a lottery, the 6 nations, you guys basically share it around like a participation trophy (Just not with the French). So I understand why you feel that way. If anyone doesn’t understand kno...

And everyone else would have been complaining about the spectacle. This isn't difficult to understand. As a spectacle it was poor. It was always likely to be so. Whether NZ or Ire were in it. I have no idea why people feel the need to not admit this just to get some digs in. Poor spectacle? No it w...

Given how the draw had the 5 top teams on the same side of the draw, and the top 4 sides meeting in the QF, while an uninspiring England got to limp home against Fiji while Argentina had to get over Wales, I'd have to side with the journos on this one. The Irish journos complaining about the walkov...

Does anyone know what the words above actually mean? Ah. Do you mean these words by me? "Blackrock. I think Schwab is oatmeal's main owner/runner. Just loathsome." If so fair enough.

Have the Boks ever choked in a world cup knockout match they were big favourites to win? I guess 2011 possibly? They said they were done by the ref.

The worry with the team selection for England is how reactionary it looks. Steward in at 15 to counter the SA kicking game, Marler and Martin in the tight five to shore up the scrum. It feels like a team designed to counter SA strengths rather than impose any strengths of the team itself. We don't ...

Again… why are we talking about things well over 200 years ago I don’t hammer the french for our wars or the Germans which was much nearer in the time.

Listening to Radio 5 Live this evening, you'd think that all England need to do is turn up and they will smash the Boks and walk into the final. Just like the last RWC final then?

World cups are ridiculous really. If SA and NZ make the final they would have each only had to win one game where they weren't the favourites.
