Re: Which decade of rugby captures your heart the most?

1995 to 2004, probably just due to being an impressionable age but the rugby was entertaining, evolving and growing. The turn of the century Bledisloe cup matches were legendary. The Blues peaked twice I that period also. 8) I remember watching the 01 series with a mate in a pub in town and when th...

I like Lakai but I feel like Sititi has been squandered and mismanaged this season, he’s a generational talent and should be getting as much game time as possible. If he is fit enough for bench he should be fit enough to start. They both have a high ceiling but Sititi’s is stratospheric. Also like ...

England go into this as very narrow favourites, when was the last time that happened?

I think 1998, 2009, 2024, 2025 are the only years (since professionalism) that I felt the Boks were superior to the All Blacks. ie obviously better. So I am guessing Boks fans probably like those years as well.
