Africa's largest economy at $440b and 215 million people? A country with a rep for money laundering and weak rule of law. How many of them are "unabanked"? About 1/4 from what I can find. Noting that a CBDC transactions are rapidly accessible via a mobile phone and mobile internet user penetration ...

The game was to get in as low as possible and sell at the high of the Bull Run. You'll still get the John Sourcer of this world (fictituous name borrowed from one of the scenes in the Dumb and Dumber movie) that will try to convince you it's all good in order to attract new investors to boost the p...

Dobson have been working hard to create depth. Very polished performance in the first half. Lucky to have play makers like Libbok, Willemse, Sasha and Kade. A year or so ago SA had no 10s coming through, suddenly we are loaded up up. But still Rassienaber will rather look to Faf and Kolbe as back-u...

A warm welcome to the Welsh visiting South Africa. Your teams will need as much support they can get. It's beach time in South Africa. Eat as much braai meat as you can and stay away from gippo guts. Basically don't eat , drink, swim, wash, touch anyone or anything while you're there and you'll be ...

Bloody hell - tickets from 40 Rand = €2.24! I don't know what the cheapest prices for URC games in Ireland are, but I suspect at least 6 times that! Everything is cheaper in SA tbf but not 6 times cheaper (usually around 50-25% of the UK price) Sport is expensive to attend in the UK and Ireland, Ul...

Boks have picked a slightly weaker pack. Well done by the Springbok coaches.
France will come guns blazing with their best pack as to see if theyr'e good enough to win a WC but now they will be mislead. They have the backs to win it but their big question is their pack

Midfieldmaestro

Why’s Kolbe kicking for goal? They’re like a scratch team. They're not allowed to pick white players over incumbent black players is that only logical answer to this. Unless it's an extreme case like Marx over Mbombi, but you literally have to be the best player in your position in the world to dis...

Hartzenberg is mentioned as 'another cover'.like 3 years ago we only had 1 sh and now there's 5.

I.r.w. your accusation he has difficulty remembering fringe players' names
There is a team list they can refer to and they do have a ranking system so no need to memorise all.

FT: Lions 22-31 Stormers Lions completely faded in the second half, scoring no points. Congrats Stormers However, Henco van Wyk showed why he should be in the Bok squad given ]we have no real 13s there. But Rassie seems to rate Hartzenberg above him as a 13 maybe you've missed this one Rassie expla...

Some Leinster player tackled a Munster player who was in the air and the airborne guy got sent off No wonder they're on top of they get away with that. Need some context. Did the Munster player try to jump over a tackle? That's illegal now although shouldn't be a card, penalty only There was no tac...

Ulster pulled a sickie to avoid a similarly monstrous pack as this. Can see why No. The squad have dysentery and Ebola from the third world water system in the luxury hotel, the same place Glasgow got poxed. Ulster would have taken a minimum 2 points from this fixture. Isn't this because of the UK'...

Springboks being rested but Sharks playing better than in the Cc. Leinster pack is not the same as a hardened Pumas Cc pack though

Pumas are a bleddy good rugby team. They have beaten a fully URC team last year in the Currie Cup in Round2 after they humilated that same team's feeders in Round1

My prediction for the match this weekend: A resurgent New Zealand build up a lead until Marx comes on and then the penalties him and Kitsoff win at the scrum and breakdown bring South Africa back into it resulting in a very tight ending. Hopefully we see a loss for the Boks so that it will drive th...

It was called the Bomb Squad at the 2019 WC.

Hope the Lions don't catch some All Blacks in Kruger Park. Fozzie would make a good meal for a pride of Lions. Plenty of fat, easy to catch.

I quite interested to know how visiting teams handle playing at Ellis Park these days, just always remember back in 60s and 70s etc, the big discussion was how to handle playing on the high veldt, ABs almost seemed to accept a loss up there, and there was alawys talk should they get up there early ...
