Austin Healy Healy is fine for avid rugby fans, who enjoy the very technical aspects of the game (particularly backline / attacking play). For casual fans who just want to enjoy the game (and don't want to hear a soliloquy after every attacking phase), he's tiresome. And he goes on a bit too much a...

The Boks have placed heavy focus on showing the ref the right picture . That's exactly what Kwagga did there to win that penalty. There is no way that Binn would have seen Kwagga's right hand on the floor (as he was to the left), so from his perspective, Kwagga was on his feet. That's all that matte...

Chilli thinks it’s insulting to insinuate I have a SA MIL.Are they twats like the blokes?

Both the 1/4 final (was) and final (will be, should NZ make i...

Some interesting changes there. I thought Wiese was pretty good. Kriel is a really average wing. Why change two of the starting front row after they won those penalties?

We choose to win more penalties in the second half this time.

I've said before I suspect he doesn't really want to be involved. He said the RWC final was his last game. I'm betting some SARU twat begged him to stay in an advisory role and created the DOR position for him.

Incorrect. He was the DOR before and during the RWC as well.

Going back a bit, but Pieter De Villiers, the French tighthead was pretty good. Like Kolbe he had a poor 2nd Lions test, but I actually think Duhan van der Merwe is pretty good too. Very strong player, who could eventually move in one to 13 imv. Doesn't a 13 need to know how to pass? Can DvdM pass?

Good win by SA - better than i thought. Strength of the forwards was excellent. The midfield, like the A team midfield, are terrible in attack as well (great defenders). So you're saying that Am and De Allende are terrible on attack? Granted, they get few opportunities. But that's an interesting co...

Without Francois Steyn , the Springboks' 6:2 split would not have worked. You've got to have the right personnel and only in one-off games (like in the RWC) for it to work.
