Re: Rugby World Cup 2023 Bids
I'm sure Ireland can host a great world cup, and I'm also sure that they will do so one day soon.
Just for context, South Africa bid unsuccessfully for the 2011, 2015 and 2019 tournaments. Even for slow learners, we must assume that something was learned through the experience.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2023 Bids
As far as I can tell, the process of World Rugby (or RWCL) making a recommendation was first introduced for the 2015 and 2019 bids, decided simultaneously in 2009. The vote went with the recommendation in both cases (or is it maybe only one case?) So there is not much precedent, but what there is su...

Re: Stormers 2018
What Fleck needs is a good defence coach. Paul Treu fills in and he's full of enthusiasm but he's not a specialist and it's time for him to move sideways for a while. Coach the U21's perhaps. Many of the current problems date back to Nienaber leaving. Oom Gert recruited an outstanding attack coach f...

I see the betting has already opened. Cheetahs are joint 4th favourites at 12/1 along with Ospreys, Ulster and Glasgow. If they match those teams (or even any two of them) then they will be very happy with themselves. The Kings are 8th favourites. I personally think both teams will have a near perfe...

Morris has earned his spot for the rest of the series. I've always said so but the needs of the public and selectors are too high.
