Re: All Black discussion for the Northern Tour.

That game was entertaining, but I do feel like I wasn't watching the best two teams in the world, which has usually been the case.

The Northern tests are going to be fascinating, after 2 years without SH vs NH first XVs playing each other.

Re: Why is Pollard in the Bok team?

Only slightly related, but is there still no better metric for measuring kicking ability than successful kick %? It doesn't take into account that teams like the Boks who often score from mauls, score their tries in wide positions so the kick is harder. Handre isn't playing well at the moment, but t...

Intimidated the referees throughout the series.

Blatantly broke the rules with on-field coaching.

And benefited from some of the spawniest decisions you'll ever see.

But yeah, well done lads :thumbup:

Are we supposed to pretend as if referees from countries that still have the union jack on their flag will be neutral when refereeing between the BRITISH Lions and South Africa, their biggest rugby rivals?
