DC was the best tackler of the lot. Most consistent, most dominant physically. He often led the defence for the ABs in a period when the 10/12 channel was the main path for the offense. Statistically he achieved some outrageous things. Such as going 2 years without having a try scored against them ...

No. Loose forward.
Whoops! Seems he didn’t become a Bok after all. Confused him with another player.

Wickus van Heerden... uncle of Bok flanker Wikus van Heerden.

Allowing Springboks to play overseas has worked well for South Africa. All key players have arrangements in place with their clubs, allowing them to be released for Bok duty under normal circumstances. Clearly we’re in a highly extra-ordinary situation at the moment and it’s no surprise that clubs a...

In a surprising twist, the Saffa supporters take to playing the man, not the ball. Bye lads. Don’t let the door hit your considerable arses on the way out. :lol: :lol: Really, so it’s ok to give it out hmm, Aussie much oh fvck off mate you pulled out at the last moment and left us in the shit don't...

How could any Saffa even try to pretend their union did the right thing? You made an agreement then realised you will get smashed and went running :yawn: They didn’t make an agreement. There was never an obligation for them to take part. Andy Marinos, over a month ago: https://www.sarugbymag.co.za/...

It's a fitting act for a rugby organisation whose most celebrated tournament is called Craven Week. They've proven they can be craven for a whole year. Serious question, Zakar. Which RWC final Boks can make it? Irrelevant question. Only 2/15 of our starters from the last rwc started versus the ABs....

Good decision if true. There’d have been no complaining if SARU had refused to compete from the get go. Instead they left the door open without ever committing (in contrast to the narrative which has formed on this thread) and have obviously tried to make it work. Ultimately the players very clearly...

You clearly aren’t familiar with the standard of reffing in the Pro 14. It’s horrific.

So our participation here is merely to save Aussie and Kiwi rugby from financial ruin - nevermind that our players are only just starting to play competitive fixtures. I expect we owe these unions a debt - like a thank you for supporting our last World Cup hosting bid or something. You make a fair ...

Lots of assumption and speculation at the moment. If anything, the delay suggests to me that they are doing what they can to make it happen. Finances and team preparation aside, that would obviously involve negotiations with multiple European clubs as well as dealing with the logistics associated wi...

Unfortunate but probably the right call (if true).

The narrative is pretty clear this time - all of the top 3 sides lost to one another - there really wasn’t a ‘best side’ last year If you had enough actually beaten nz then you might have a point - you didn’t in 2019 It’s not all about you champ. Results against others count too. That Perth match i...

I just don’t subscribe to short knock out comps producing the best. Always seems to be the narrative when the ABs don’t win the RWC. Regardless, all results over the previous 12 months would point towards the same conclusion. The narrative is pretty clear this time - all of the top 3 sides lost to ...

That last penalty kicked for NZ was a result of a scrum push by NZ in which the Wobs scrum went backwards and disintegrated. Exact same thing happened the previous scrum for Aust but the ref shouted he can't give a penalty because the Wallabies can play the ball. Crooked ref Crooked Aussie ref Gard...

They declined only after the Aus and NZ governments confirmed that the Bok players’ visas wouldn’t be approved. Not exactly a choice.

It’s would have been much more of a hurdle for the Boks as the AB’s bet then in pool play with a degree of comfort .

He got his cap coming off the bench in the last few minutes for that B/C team that played Wales in the States. Proceeded to cost SA the game and ensure that he wouldn’t earn another.

The Boks lost 7 tests in 2018. They capped a lot of shit players in the few seasons before as well as that year. From 2015 to 2018 they won 24, lost 24, drew 2. :lol: Cue pic of paper-over-everything RWC trophy. “Paper-over-everything”?? Are you suggesting they haven’t turned things around? :?

Yeah, there's a whole sub genre of "I want to bang that girl who is just under the legal age" lyrics. That Stones song I mentioned in the OP has the lyric "I can see that you're just 15 years old, but I don't need no ID". Bill Wyman probably loved that song. http://www.yachtrock.com/podcast/2016/6/...
