One of the best 10s. the others Hugo Porta, Phil Bennet, Naas Botha, Joel Stransky, Johny Wilkinson and Stephen Larkham that I've seen. Havent seen Ella played Carter wasn't a great exponent of the drop untill later in his career as in this game below the Bulls 10 slotted 4 and Carter didn't attempt...

The Auckland Blues and Sunwolves finished bottom in Super 2018 and again in the bottom three in 2019. a Country itself should do something about its weak teams. Replace them with better teams from within or cut them.

If Conferences I hope for Jags to be with SA teams as they feel like brothers. Without them we would never have seen the greatest Springbok backline ever in action mid80s to end of 80s as they were prepared to play us. SA helped Jags again come Super. 2019 the last Super Jags made the final https://...

Cannot agree with DeDoc on Kirwan, Buck Crazy Islander on Warwick Taylor Grandpa on Craig Green The above players except for Kirwan played for the nz Cavaliers in SA in 86 and tbh they shpuld rather have played only the Junior Springboks and not the boks as the likes of Gerber showed them a clean pa...

7 Rounds a better turnaround time and the new kids on the block EP Eliphants strike the Currie Cup champs in Round 1

Hamilton not sure but old boks 81 didn't say it in so many words but there were places they wouldn't come out alive if things went pearshaped for the nz team. I know South Auckland they say is a crime slum where gangs roam freely around to rob anyone. https://youtu.be/9vxc6k5zr4c

u20 WC had been cancelled twice already. This is where the Varsity Cup fill a void. Players need that step in between school and senior rugby otherwise a vaccuum Many WC boks played in the winning u20 WC a Few Cc stars of this year such as Elrigh Louw also played u20 WC. Now at least youngsters can ...

Would like to see Currie Cup Pumas vs the Jaguares

Midfieldmaestro

Don't you guys have 24hr Rugby channels?
Timezones shouldn't be a problem anymore
Games get repeated and one can watch whenever

Midfieldmaestro

Not sure when is the Varsity holidays but it will be great. These are bona fide students, so good planning to go into it because they must still study aswell.

Duane used some of the tactics that the Springboks used in the WC final and it paid off for them.

history shows the Sharks are always doing well against the bulls in finals

List of things not in nz today :
1. No New Covid 19 cases
2. No Rugby World Cup

Midfieldmaestro

Lions penalty count were unbelievable. One can't expect them to win playing 13 against 15 at times.
Bulls kept their discipline, great Captaincy in keeping his players calm amd focused
WP without Kitshof they had no punch no drive

Midfieldmaestro

Without Kitshof

no more frontrow dominance

Not sure why holding it in the UK would be any better than SA. Both countries on fire with Covid. Better to bring the series down under ... maybe NZ and Aus could co host? Rugby fans down under would support the games not a chance. your Referees will give all Boks Red Cards and does your laws on vi...

Test match experience will count. WP's WC Winner frontrow Frans Bongi Kitshof
Referees interpretation scrums breakdowns will play a part in the outcome aswell I think

Cheslin's father was good at rugby and Wayde's mother in athletics, not sure if they are brother sister

Bosch not in WC squad last few games he played against nz teams below. Improved since

With Pollard's inactiveness from injury, Bosch established himself as SA's best nr10
Cobus Reinach and Bosch was an established combo at the Sharks, so a chance for Reinach aswell come British Irish Lions

She was de moer in with him when she learnt he played touch rugby hurt himself and was out of World Champs

Altitude certainly play a role specially the Kenyans
Van Niekerk is also the first athlete ever to have run a sub 10 sec 100m, sub 20 sec 200m and a sub 44 sec 400m. He has a great coach, she trained world champs before, she'l be 79 at Tokyo, they might aim for the double, the 200m and 400m

It's a shame that the Jaguares had to get booted out of SR. I wish them and their supporters all the best in the future. Their big issue is that their timezone doesn't really work for any major European or SH comp. Good on them if they can forge a future in the Americas :thumbup: Not so sure on thi...
