Re: Boks toughest WC knockout win en route to winning 4 x RWCs?
After watching Chasing the sun I'll give credit to Rassie and his coaching team for beating France. It was planned in detail like they always do. There was no lucky ran away tries. Even the charge down kick was planned by Kolbey. Vermeulen asked Rassie to stop playing the French anthem at practice ...

Re: Boks toughest WC knockout win en route to winning 4 x RWCs?
In the TV coverage the commentator mentioned before the match that an illness had swept through the NZ team earlier in the week I assune you refer to '95? or is this the Stade de France final? Bear in mind if you're a bok supporters for instance and you don't get the team year you'll be clueless ab...

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.

Re: Joseph Suaalii to quit Roosters, join rugby on monster deal

NZ Kiwis star Joseph Manu has confirmed he will switch from league to rugby, when he joins Japanese club side Toyota Verblitz after this NRL season. Manu, 27, had previously hinted at the move, but has now officially in...

Re: Favourite Rugby Commentator
Kearns was the myopic one. Of the two you mentioned, anyway. Mexted loved free flowing rugby and psychic energy. He could get deep about the game. Kearns just got bitter. Kearns played a character when he was commentating. He was unashamedly biased - but that's not necessarily a bad thing in the co...

Re: Waratahs vs Crusaders Match Thread
Ignore this. Checked the laws and the kicker has 90 seconds. Saders’ fans have a legit gripe here. He kicked it before the 90 seconds expired, which means Tahs can kick it off. How does that work as he kicked it when the clock was red? Obvious to me the match clock didn't align with clock we were w...

Who is your favourite rugby commentator. For me it would be Benjamin Kayser followed closely by Justin Marshall. Ridiculously good knowledge of the game and easy to listen accents.

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Yeah this Lancaster kid is alright. Barrett-esque pickup at ankle height then hits the afterburners. Class. Yeah. That’s just elite. Some guys could make that catch but likely not erupt with such speed. Some can take a more standard intercept and hit the gas. Not many can do both so seamlessly.

Re: Fantastic Rassie Analysis
For what it's worth, I think Rassie is a great man manager and tactician for one-off matches... not so great over the long haul... How many RC's has he won? SA have only won once since 2009. You'll be calling Gareth Southgate a genius next if he wins the World Cup... Technically, Rassie has only co...
