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...

Nuance lost on so many on this thread. Apologies to the Irish.

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.

For a truly arrogant team bigging themselves up straight after beating a major rival it's a fairly odd, obscure way to twist the knife. We could all think of less flattering ones I'm sure.

Yes, a great point. Everyone is shit compared to McCaw.

But was it really arrogance to say something as absolute ? 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...

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. Only at series 3 but it’s become repetitive and depressing. Does it pick itself up? I quit the Americans in s3. Got b...

It’s quite clear that some Bok fans think that their guys are not being regarded with the GOAT-type status that back-to-back wins should give them - and like ABs were given in their time.

I 100% agree with the one New Zealand player on that list SBW. Massively overrated player. A slow, lumbering one trick pony who stymied our midfield play for years but received all the plaudits and accolades for his occasionally brilliant offloads.

Matt Giteau was the world’s highest paid player at a time when he was choking big matches left, right and centre. That always surprised me.

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. But yeah, on the field, that was probably his biggest issue. The dopey twat also couldn't pass left to right. Asto...

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? ...

I was going to say that 12 followed by 13 are the only 2 positions that I can see League converts succeeding. From my limited knowledge of League. Very limited it seems. https://i.ibb.co/vmK7r84/IMG-6621.jpg Brad thorne was a 12 in league, so maybe it's your knowledge that is limited ;) Don’t you w...

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. Those who are used to seeing the variety of play and competition for the ball in rugby, would probably find the short pass, tackle x 5 and a kick routine boring and dumb. The shoulder charges and thugby acts in League don...

Watched a league game again recently and simply cannot see the attraction. Bored me senseless But you have no knowledge of teams or players, that’s a huge key to enjoyment of sport.

Disturbed are like the Nickelback of metal. Terrible band. And it’s sacrilege to suggest their version eclipses S&G.

Pearl Jam - Ten. I always thought they went for a live sound and that’s what they got. It’s a little trebly to my ears. I prefer Vs as an album, even though Abruzzese could be an overplaying twat.

Sad to say, the SR is halfway through and no SR player is mentioned. Not long ago there were always a new star breaking out every season. Or a player taking it to the next level.

I long for the days of McCaw and G Smith when they could fully support their body weight and still effect turnovers. Now it’s just palms/forearms to the ground.
