Haven't seen many blaming Love. Imagine blaming R. love for both losses, when our scrum was getting absolutely man shamed out on the pitch for all 3 tests, giving up easy penalties that resulted in kicks at goal for South Africa. Make it make sense? Haven't seen many, if any blaming Love. Rennie sai...

The women very clearly went nuts. Who gains anything from locking her up for a billion years? Does anyone anywhere benefit?

I'm all for locking shitheads up for ages but it has to be of benefit to someone somewhere

Other possible victims.

What a shite backline. Hopefully were are will do better in the forwards, but dMac, ALB, BB and DickMo is not only retrograde but in my view risks being hugely ineffective when we have actually made strides in the backs with these guys absent except for dMac. Cody Taylor as captain is also an error...

The Springboks aren't just playing for a result this weekend, their entire identity is on the line. After all the pre tour talk of a 4–0 sweep and even some claims that the All Blacks wouldn’t win a single match, dropping another test would throw their whole system into crisis.

"all the pre tour (sic) talk of a 4-0 sweep" 🤣 f**king moron. Except people were literally talking about a 4-0 sweep in the media before the tour, Victor Matfield and Robbi Kempson were literally discussing it on Final Whistle, and SA Rugby Mag ran polls on it where most fans voted for a sweep. It ...

Congrats Northland, Rob Rush had a big game. Cool seeing Eric and David watching their boys win the shield.

Anything less then 50 will be a win for the Bulls. Ackerman will put out a C team. Curwin Bosch to kick everything, so a bit of aerial practise for the All Blacks. The Bulls defense struggled all season. Last week it was 60, now its 50.The fact that you’re already building a 49-point cushion proves...

What game were you watching? He was shit. What were you watching, he was one of our best.

Please let this be the last time we see Beauden Barrett, he is just terrible, indecisive, even awkward looking now. He's lost it, plain and simple, not attacking that high ball out of fear was the last straw.

rugga.

I don't remember him saying that specifically (not saying he didn't, I just don't recall it if he did), but he has definitely said that everyone in the squad will get a run within the first week of the tour. He did, he said that his first four team selections bar injury were already selected. That ...

I see the AB selectors announce their squad for the SA tour in a week, and that the first match is in three weeks time. Rennie and the coaches will want as much time as possible with the squad in camp to get the systems and structures embedded. Those first three games are going to be interesting. A...

Still dont get the Joey Wheeler hate, that was brilliant, gave an Irish perspective.

rugga.

For some reason I have a bad feeling about this game. Don't know exactly why, but it seems to me Rennie isn't quite the saviour he's cracked up to be. Some of his bench options don't stack up with what you want your bench to be, IMPACT. Numia, Aumua, Segner and Lakai all fit the bill, but the other...

rugga.

As a neutral the ABS looked just as confused as they were with Robertson. Robertson made no difference and at the moment Rennie, looks to be going down the same route Are you neutral? Who is your team then? I thought you were a Kiwi? Oh and I disagree... especially against France, they looked like ...

Anyone else shocked Moorby got the start, as a staunch Hurricanes fan Im absolutely wrapped. And its great to see taking your chance counts. I was sure Clarke was going to start, good coaching signs, play well rewarded, play poor, dropped. Nope, from what he did last week, everyone can see hios val...

I would like to say also, how good are 5pm kick off? Seeing all those kids coming in the crowd was bloody great. Also add that maybe because of early kick off , a huge part of the crowd (including moi who stayed for extra beer at a bar) were leaving it fairly late to get into stadium. Just got in a...

I didn't watch a huge amount of Supe, but I heard a lot of noise from further north about how dominant de Groot had been scrummaging throughout the season. Firstly, a mod who 'doesn't watch a lot of Supe rugby is actually insane, but thats another story. "Insane" :lol: Tell me more... I could, but ...

If it were possible, Numia Aumua and Lomax would melt De Groot, Taylor and Lomax.

Definitely have Taylor on the bench . So you want Beauden Barrett on the bench also? Nope , unlike Taylor he’s a busted flush . Taylor is currently the third best hooker in the country, Aumua and Taukei'aho are both currently miles ahead, and thats in almost every facet of the game. Taylor does hav...

Perhaps the fling-it-around gameplan was more of a response to the points-for-stat in the new Nations Championship (i put the em dashes in, for you Ai paranoias) The boks have a great lead after thrashing England and we thought Italy would lay down after what we saw of them against Japan, allowing u...

He truely is the gate keeper of that no.2 jersey. He never ever reached the heights of Cole’s in the black jersey. Mainly his form stemmed from winning Super Rigby titles, and we all know that doesn’t translate at all to the international game. It's unfortunate because I think our depest position i...

rugga.

Completely agree. I can't understand the myth that Taylor is this elite lineout thrower when in actual fact he's just 'pretty good'. He offers little in terms of line breaking ability these days and is unquestionably the least physical of our hookers. So how is he better than Soni and Aumua? Becaus...

Just got back from the ground, The Italians defended well, they stayed spread across the field and clearly nullified (especially the firat half) the spread it at every opportunity gameplan. ABs Needed punch in the middle of the field, there was none. Felt like Italy had unlimited quick ball, no one ...
