Sharks need to take a serious look at their discipline. They lost the ref early in the piece what with shouting at him and generally gaaning aan. I think you've raised two important, but different points. We were hard done by the ref in the first half, in my opinion. But that's largely because we d...

Have a look at the URC table and see where the $harks are

I'm not mad about the idea. I think our TH stock is ok at the moment. But let's see how he goes.

Eh? It's the global leader in schoolboy sport. No.1 in every country AFAIK.

Hugh Bladen. Not so much in his later years when he became quite clumsy though. But he was the enigmatic voice of South African rugby for many years.

Will you apply the same rules to the French team that do the same? Like Lyon did last week?

assfly

I don't understand the Bulls' decision. They are well placed in the URC for a home semi. But they have basically thrown the towel in for the Champions Cup, the same competition the $harks are fighting tooth and nail to get back into?

assfly

The Boks must be a nightmare of a team to prepare for. Not only do they name their team late, but they are forever tweaking things. Like for the Tonga game when we had 4 scrumhalves in our matchday team. We have props who can play on both sides of the scrum, locks who can play flank, flanks who can ...

Still hurting, mr bungle?

Can’t wait for episode 4.

Yes that was banging. Listening to Rassie is fascinating.

They could make an entire documentary on the France SA game. Just simply incredible.

assfly

It's an elaborate hoax to justify why Manie missed his kick.

The weather in Cape Town is fine.

I for one welcome our uMkhonto we Sizwe overlords.

assfly

Ja I've definitely noticed it more in the UK. Ex players with coffee shops, gin brands, CBD stuff. Look at James Haskell :lol: I always felt our players would be a few steps behind. We don't seem to have as many characters in the game able to market themselves. Like we were discussing about Dayimani...

Worth a URC title?

Interesting, I never knew about this. What a great idea.

I'm surprised more players don't make use of their brand to do things like this.

assfly

He must be taking quite a financial hit coming back to SA, assuming he does.

assfly

I think it's also because I'm slightly obsessed with rugby there isn't as much new as I had hoped.

But still enjoying it. The best for me is watching Rassie speak to the team in the changerooms, and seeing how all the other players behave.

assfly

That ending to episode 2

I must admit that I feel they're dragging it out a bit. Lost of filler and repetition. Could have probably done it in fewer episodes, or a full length movie.

assfly

I hope we vokken smash them.

Good point.

Another article on ticket sales ffs.

It was always going to sell out. Hardly newsworthy.

Two very entertaining games.

If it's for family reasons, then it's probably best he is released IMMEDIATELY to return to the $harks.
Evening flight back to SA, starting tomorrow at 12.

assfly

A real measure for me, which is only retrospective so completely useless in the debate really, but it's where does the player reside once they retire? So many SA poaches f#ck off back to the republic. They came, they merc'ed, they bought their farm and they forgot it ever happened. Hell, maybe some...

South Africa can't claim Duhan anymore. Nobody even knew him when he left. He obviously benefited massively from the coaching he received so Scotland should take the credit for making him into an international, so I wish him all the best and it's great to see him doing so well.

assfly

Good lord, the state of that team

As pleased as I am to see so many $harks players, that could be the most disjointed Bok team ever fielded.

Blake wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 2:37 pm Exactly. It's stupid. Wales will have all their players available (tee hee) and we will have to stock the Boks with Sharks and Lions. Joke of a match.

AND our Japan based players. All 4 of them.

I can't even pick a starting XV from that lot.

I'm not denying it is the biggest derby in SA, but I just don't want to be reminded of it constantly

Is that cup up for grabs again in this Wales clash? What happens if we lose it? Do we have to keep playing the holders until we win it back? What if they don't want to play outside of the test window again? Glad we beat the All Blacks last time then I guess. I f**king hate this part of the game. It...

assfly

Not sure why we keep arranging these out of window tests. Money grab? Yep. I think the fact that it's called the Qatar Airways Cup gives that away. Anyway, as double world cup champions we have an obligation to appease our victory-hungry fans. There are plenty of Bok fans in London that will make i...

I read somewhere yesterday that our overseas based Boks (or Europe based) won't be available for the Wales test.

That will make the team selection interesting. URC players only.

They remind me of the Democrats in the US. Just being normal and avoiding dramas should be enough, but they always find a way to stuff it up.

I doubt EFF will do as well as last time considering the Zuma's party will probably drain a lot of votes from them and the ANC. I don't see Zuma's party making much of an impact outside of KZN. But I do think the EFF numbers are going to go up again. I just hope like hell the DA can avoid any more ...

With all due respect, I live in Sandton and have done for 20 years. I sit on my suburbs security committee which is connected to others nearby but most importantly to the Sandton CPF.

Ah yes, we're back to this predictable old chestnut. Making assumptions of a person based on their geographical location, as if that has any bearing on their knowledge.

My reading of that figure is that’s the total amount over the entire period, not just one year. I think also most left in the early 2000s Yes, but it's still a lot of people considering the skill level they are at.

In 2020, cumulative South African emigrants amounted to roughly 915,000. The vast majority settled in the United Kingdom (around 247,000), followed by Australia (nearly 200,000). Together, the two countries constituted roughly 49 percent of the total South African migrants living abroad. https://ww...
