He's clearly the best 10 in the country by a mile as well, damn chiefs better not run him into the ground He has a hell of a target on him for opposition meatlumps, that is for sure. p.s. Anyone else think Dutchie was getting a little bit racist until they opened the thread? That’s what :P I though

Re: Your best ever national team by unit
NZ team offered above is fire. Just full of goats. Really like this side below. Weak up front outside of the great Eales. But from the loosies out, a better group of player combos than the Bok listed in this thread. Largely 90's Wobs... Front row: Daly, Kearns, McKenzie Second row: Giffin, Eales Ba...

Re: South Africa overflow of rugby players
I think the Cheetahs would be competitive. Possibly the Griquas, Pumas too. Not sure if there is a 4th team though. They won’t really add quality to the comp, will not really add any real interest and add a huge amount of cost and travel to the sides now. Just can’t see those sides being attractive...

Re: South Africa overflow of rugby players
the non-URC teams can join Super Rugby.

I can’t see how ...

We couldn’t have even dreamed about beating Ireland a year ago. We have definitely improved, and many of us are eating humble pie served b...

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?

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
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....

Re: Are the Springboks vs Ireland the mini WC this year?
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. The ABs have won 5 times there since 1996. 5-0 against Sa in that time. I have a soft spot for Loftus 🥰 Apologies. Yes. ABs have absolutely dominated at Loftus. 😡 Th...

Re: Are the Springboks vs Ireland the mini WC this year?
Ireland will also be undercooked, the last 6N match will be later this month. The first test is at altitude so I think its near inconceivable that SA lose that. 1 all at best for Ireland, and I would not be surprised at all if SA win it 2 nil. Altitude is not the advantage it once was. Ireland are ...
