Re: 2024 U20 Rugby Championship
Should have gone to SA. Would been great preparation for the WC 2024 will take place in South Africa from 29 June to 19 July 2024. Badly waterlogged grounds in SA last time. Will drainage be better this time? Dry year. They play in Craven Stadium this year. Boet rugby is a winter sport. Playing in ...

Re: Leinster's Saffer lock is on his way back to SA
He’s always struck me as a player lacking rugby nous. He’s a decent carrier but doesn’t run effective lines or make good decisions. He was a hockey player until his final year at school which probably explains that. He seems to have lost the pace he had as a youngster too.

Re: Leinster's Saffer lock is on his way back to SA
There is a lot to come from Jenkis. He is lucky and managed to stay injury free. He is one of the few players in World Rugby that can play at four, five, six (seven in SA) and eight. He is a great ball carrier. Sharks can field a mean pack with him and some others that are returning,. They already ...
