Re: South Africa overflow of rugby players

They got the new competition going for the others (non URC teams) starting soon. The CC is going to be close to URC level What is the new comp for non-URC teams? I don't see how the URC sides (without their Boks) will be able to field strong teams for a Jul-Sept Currie Cup. I think the Jul-Sept win...

Re: All Blacks 2024

I agree. England were pretty limited at the world cup and played a very simple game to try and nullify SA. That tactic might have worked against the Boks... to a degree as they still lost, but it's not going to get them far against other sides. Plus they need to get the public onside and they have ...

Re: All Blacks 2024

I would agree England improved over the 6 nations after starting poorly but I don't think they were better than what they were at the Rwc. I think they are definitely improving. What is important to England is that they are developing players, getting experience and the squad will be in a far bette...

Re: All Blacks 2024

Italy were the only NH team to improve in the 6N. For the RC probably only the Wallabies will improve from last year. So I think we should be fine in a rebuilding phase this year. Cameron and Perofeta are adequate back ups in that context. Well, apart from Italy, one side did improve.. a lot. At le...

Re: Are the Springboks vs Ireland the mini WC this year?

You say winners... Who else has? Most seem to go downhill. I guess England did for a couple of years pre 2003... But any team after they have won? Boks 2007 possibly the closest? NZ, you silly man. Boks won 70% of their tests in 2008. At least England capped off a very dominant run by winning 2003....

Maybe. Loftus is a difficult ground to win at against the Boks. Since 1970, England have one once in 1994 and the All Blacks 4 times.
