Back at (home) gym here in SA... Planning on not stopping (giving up / failing) during the winter. 42 years old now, the recovery periods are definitely longer than even last year. Doing more stretching and warming up as us older folk need to do. 2 months in, need to buy more weights and an ez bar. ...

I'm 42 now, daughter is 20 and son is 16. With my Wife, best part of my life. The only 'burden' is financial, they are fantastic people... Only thing I really got right being a Dad is me loving them to BITS. Any discipline came from that. I really think they made me a better person too, as I try be ...

Yeah but in this country at this time, white person's straight hair is the 'normal' hair

This is going to be fun.

And I feel I just got here... fudge.

Was a class player but thought he was messed around positionally... Wing, FB, FH... I recall his defense being.... acceptable for his size. Nothing like Kolbe trying and managing dominant tackles. I went with my Dad to some dinner gala event and we had Os and Brent at our table. We're English speaki...

Was o'Gara cheating when he tapped and scored while Smit was doing as instructed and chatting to his players, or was it Honiss for allowing it?

Oh, Carter off the list? Well done.
I will endeavor to think of an actual 2nd rower that fits the criteria. They do seem tough buggers.

If I remember correctly, Coenie Oosthuizen was shifted from loosehead to tighthead and after finally starting to get the hang of it, broke an arm. Came back, started to get back in form and got a serious injury again and never the Bok jersey again... Seeing Dan 100 test WC winner Carter on such a li...

Yup. Potentially the best 10 ever. Massive boot, proper pace, great agility, more than decent size... Had everything except what, bmt, confidence?
Played his best Bok rugby on the wing, dammit.

I'm growing full beard and stache. Once it is worthy I plan to egg the head and go for the latest Kratos GoW look, complete with face tattoo (not permanent)..
My wife is shocked and horrified at the idea so it'll be doggy style for a while.

Golf day in Jan Kempdorp.

Waterworld destroyed anything good he may have done before or after it. In fact I’d nominate that film as the most preachy, hypocritical, insulting and shit film ever. As a father of an adopted child, his slight voicebreak saying "you are my son!" while hugging baby Superman broke me and won me ove...

Since I'm ignoring the shit she pulled in the books, Triss all the way and 7 times on Sunday.

Yennefer is just utterly horrid.

If you count the stuff Triss did.... Well I reckon she's reeeeally sorry so all good.

TheSmurf

Yeah I'm on here sparingly (social distancing doesn't stop at the physical world

) but this Oom is being a right prick.

TheSmurf

Yeah it should just be about who'd be on the bench...

TheSmurf

If a coach prefers like for like replacements, then Augustus.
But if he was to pick a genuine impact player to change it up, Notshe isn't a bad bet.

But that doesn't seem to be Erasmus' preferred bench style?

TheSmurf

So while I found the Seconds performance massively questionable (never watched it, sounds ridiculous), do you find this 14-5 performance beyond reproach?

TheSmurf

It's so embarrassing to be a South African on this forum... Possibly anywhere, but definitely this forum.

Well played Sharks.

I watch movies to have fun, so to me, the best movie of the decade for me flits between Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Spiderman: into the Spiderverse.

Brilliantly made and brilliantly fun films.

My top shows were, Loved it 1. The Boys - Can't wait for S2) 2. Umbrella Academy - Lots of fun. 3. Chernobyl - Didn't ' enjoy ' it (if you know what I mean) but it was brilliant! Enjoyed 3.

Sad to see him go because he's been playing bloody well, but what a way to go out!
Deserves all the plaudits he's getting, as a player and person

Well deserved, PSdT!

When your team wins the rugby championship and the world championship inthe same year is an awesome moment/feeling. Anyone else want to share how awesome that moment was for them? Add the Currie Cup. My son was born in the year that all of this happened. :thumbup: In three years and bit from now yo...

We need more pie.

England are a quality side and well deserved getting into the final :thumbup: Really like Underhill and Curry; two young'uns of high quality and class. Always been a fan of Watson and after his smirk, I really like Farrel. Actually, like a lot of them. Can't wait to see the boys go at each other aga...

TheSmurf

One of the silver linings to a horrible black cloud for England has been the story of the Boks journey, indeed it may have given them the X factor they certainly had. We all remember the iconic picture of Madiba with Pienaar, but I haven't seen a similar iconic photo as yet. Is there a picture that...

What criticism?

And I'm happy to discuss the players and game here now that emotions are starting to subside.

Sorry, added the smiley a bit late because I was trying to be snarky

UnderCurry are better flankers than both and PSdT is only the second best lock in the team, so you ought to be upset.

Oh look, I don't give a fudge about your opinion.

So proud of our boys.
Shame that so many neutrals just want to belittle and shit over our achievement...
Suddenly England are shit.
England had a tougher semi, couldn't recover (after an entire extra test day)

I shouldn't care, but I guess I'm not mature enough to not get a bit pissed off.
