Re: Irish arrogance stuns Springbok stars
Odd for a team that says it 'out of respect to the other team', it doesn't seem to have been mentioned to Tonga or Romania.... Perhaps because they would have more seen it as a sign of mockery as they had absolutely no chance to make the RWC final contrary to SA? Some people have really huge proble...

Re: Doctor Rassie Erasmus
Neinaber is one of the great men of rugby. Incredibly understated and reserved, but you can see the brain ticking over and driving the success. Quite a foil for a bloke like Rassie.

Re: Irish arrogance stuns Springbok stars

Remembering that after being thrashed by a Dan Carter lead AB team in the pool , the French said exactly the same thing ; and it seemed that the AB’s believed them. The difference perhaps being that they backed up the statement with actions...

Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2024?
Also, should we really use Mary Sue for male characters? Maybe a Luke Skywalker or an Anakin Skywalker would work better? ;) (We need a fishing smilie). Man, The Americans drags on.

His kicking was merely adequate. It was his biggest downfall. His biggest downfall is that he's a raging homophobic twat who hides behind his idiotic imported religious fundamentalism.

It's pretty hard to have a chip on your shoulder for a sport that's far less successful. That was what I was getting at. As an Australian based poster, your statement that Rugby League is "far less than successful" than Rugby simply doesn't make sense. Perhaps that's the case in France and the UK? ...

Most league players are suited to 12 because at 12, you have to be solid in defense,have vision and good hands. Outside this position RL players generally struggle with a few notable exceptions.

Just because it's Intense doesn't make it a great game enjoyable to everyone.

The shoulder charges and thugby acts in League don...
