Did he play for the blacks next to SBW in the WC of 2019 and had/has a mullet hair cut?

I think the days of the enforcer lock are long gone. If they ever existed. Etzebeth is the heir to Bakkies and the Boks just won a RWC with him at lock In what way is Etzebeth the "heir" to Botha? Is it because they both play lock? Both white? Etzebeth never seemed consistent enough at test level t...

Zulu I think you read the same sh@t as me but I researched a bit more before reacting to it.
There were concerns in a virtual meeting. Think violence the least and the quarantine restrictions the more

Sprinboks can do with some more Lion tamers

Alignment according to me is to get the players to execute the Springbok game plan.

Good rugby. UJ was undisciplined game 1

The big thing is how much they’re getting after tax. in the past sa players did not have to pay tax on what they earned abroad. new tax laws coupled with the higher cost of living in cities such as London (132% higher cost) Paris (96.5%) and Tokyo(110.6%) made many sa players return for home I supp...

I don't think this was to show the Rand's worth but rather a comparison that could have been done in any currency

Handre' Pollard is the highest paid rugby player in the world
SA players Polly tops then Etzebeth

agree it's too bright

Tuks are not a bad team as Wits was in the lead when Covid stopped last year's Varsity Cup.

Midfieldmaestro

The CUT pack (Ixias) can hunt with the big dogs. Tuks baclline is potent

One can see Rasta is unfit. He stop the game so many times with penalties so that he can take a rest

Midfieldmaestro

Thats probably what their Capt.wanted as he blotched a 3 pointer under pressure decision by kicking for the line but in the end the new 10 brought some positive play energy and they took the 3 pointer

Midfieldmaestro

Much improved performance by WP. I was starting getting worried if it is one of the Top 4 and if it isn't developing like in Superrugby where a better sa team as the Pumas can't play but only the political connected Kings

The requirements the bokke set had been met now unlike during hard lockdown. 400 mins rugby is one

Considering its a Perfect XV and not the best its interesting his Perfect nr10 is being played at 15 which means he is being played out of position
Brussow was a perfect fetcher
The Welshman at 8 interesting

Well Done All well deserved! Agree on SA Young gun Simelane. Would have liked to see as one of the finalists their new nr10 Tiaan S. SA Coach agree on Jake. Would have liked if they added Jimmy Stonehouse as one ofcthe finalists in recognition of him building the Pumas from nowhere into one of the t...

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.

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.
