Re: Are the Boks coached to milk cards??
Terrible post notwithstaanding, it is quite interesting to see how much time Cane actually had. I originally was quite sympathtic towards him thinking it was a reflexive action when Kriel turned into him (which I still think it was), but he had a lot of time preceding the incident to go low and cho...

Re: 2023 Rugby World Cup Final Match Thread - NZ Vs South Africa
Yeah, I know it's largely in reaction to the torrent of negativity but I've seen loads of posts on twitter etc saying Barnes was great and got all the big calls right. Now, they're probably just talking about the Cane & Kolisi cards, which tbf he did get right (although could have given Sam a strai...

Re: Wayne Barnes receive death threats
Very sad, unfortunately social media lets some very angry uneducated people put the first silly thought that comes to their head out there for everyone to see.
Some people take this stuff way too seriously.

FInally back in Málaga after not much sleep and a rough hangover. Tough one to swallow but watching live thought some players just weren't on their game mentally. Jordan was very very poor, he hardly chased kicks seems to become a bit sully when the game doesn't go his way. Lineouts killed us. The B...

So Kiwi's - you're not scoring 3 tries in first 30 min, so how panicked will you lot be with let's say a three-point score difference at halftime with no Bok injuries? Not panicked at all. We will make your backline defend a lot so I think the last 20 will be really interesting. You may get some sc...

Re: 2023 Rugby World Cup Final Match Thread - NZ Vs South Africa
Nepo makes sense, he's a unit and solid srummager. In an open game his lack of agility and awareness makes him a weakness in defence, but in this type of game he came put in some big hits (hopefully legal as he's had his brainfarts in the past)
If they pass him the ball he will drop it.
