How did they miss that?
Party pooper.

He basically rolled it forward

So much to like about Gordon but his kicking renders him utterly unpickable for the Wobs.

Bladen, for sure. Legendary. THE Voice of SA Rugby.

Grant Nisbitt for NZ.

He’s horrific.

Fascinating thread

Harrison straight to the front of the queue.

Good on the Aus judiciary for taking action

What potential impact would the general election have on rugby in South Africa? Have there been pledges made by any party relating to rugby? Good or bad? https://www.capetownetc.com/uncategorised/springboks-must-fall/ I actually think the springbok name and emblem are now a sign unity. It may have ...

Disgraceful stuff. Murphy’s control has been inept too. It was clear the Drua were going this way a while ago and he did nothing to stop it.

South Africans definitely talk a good scrum. I remember this one - all the Boks had to do was win their own scrum and that was the ballgame. https://youtu.be/_gaNu3uqT20?feature=shared @2:33 The following week Tupou played 76 minutes and dominated 2 Bok front rows - one of which contained the overr...

He’s clearly not the best LHP in the Boks. I never claim he is the best LH in world rugby or for the Springboks, mind you both packs of the Boks are the best in scrumming. For the Stormers he is much more then just a LH. South Africans definitely talk a good scrum. I remember this one - all the Bok...

One of the most overrated players in world rugby. Obviously Aussies have great knowledge of fatties and scrumming and poaching. He’s a lump. World’s best, my arse. He’s not the best LHP in the Boks. He’s a fat, slow, ginger cnut, who is good (not great) at scrum time, with a hot mrs. That’s it. You...

In terms of WC performances specifically it’s clearly FdP. For best player of that bunch it’s between FdP and Joost with Smith not far behind.

Really?

Rob Howley? Do you think Rob Howley would agree with you?
Yes, Rob Howley. He was twice the running threat that Joost ever was.

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 ...

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.

sunnybanana

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 ...

What a f**king din. Shit band playing incessantly and they play music on the PA at the same time. fudge everything about this team

The WC squad could include Willemse, Kurt-Drie and Kolbe Am and Esterhuizen Pollard, Faf and Grant Williams Frans Malherbe, Marx, Kitshoff and Ox Etzebeth, Kleyn, Lood, RG and Mostert Kolisi, Kwagga, PSDT and Wiese Boks will be in with a chance.

Good lord, the state of that team :lol: As pleased as I am to see so many $harks players, that could be the most disjointed Bok team ever fielded. Missing Koch at least from the locals. If the Japanese players are available there’s potentially the following to add; Marx De Jager Mostert Smith (inju...

The Sharks also have Jurenzo Julius who is highly rated. I don't like to see SA teams lose but seeing the Sharks this season and this type of recruitment does give me a smile. I don't think Rassie likes this type of recruitment either. He has talked about overseas clubs paying our best players wage...

Why wouldn’t they? I personally think most professional athletes are on something. If you’re paid for your physical performance, I don’t see why you wouldn’t. It’s safe in that controlled environment, it’s piss easy to pass a test (no pun) and it aids recovery. Also, if you’ve been working out long...

There’s no more havoc to be wreaked.

Didn’t they make one of these after they lost to NZ then beat Namibia, Italy, Canada, Japan, Wales & England? Overhyping twats. After? You do realise that production for these documentaries commences well before the tournament starts don’t you? They get made regardless of the result (hence the Wall...

Cabbage wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:24 am Did Wales play a full or close to full strength Bok side in their tests? I thought SA experimented, no?

2nd string Bok side in the test that Wales won. Wales were lucky to win it but probably unlucky in the 1st test. Boks were dominant in the 3rd.

Of course it was a try. The ref/TMO possibly came to the only outcome they could have according to strict interpretation of the process but there should be room for some common sense.

You’re being painfully obtuse. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd…. choice players may not be world beaters (the bowlers are but you’ve neglected them in your analysis) but they’re ahead of the current group in the pecking order and very capable of getting a result in NZ.

Moronic. They could play in predictably pristine conditions in KZN or Gauteng but the WC mafia hold all sway.

Seen this repeated a few times. I looked it up and out of those 80 (actually 79): - 12 are retired from test cricket, or otherwise ineligible (i.e. David Wiese, playing for Namibia) - 14 have previously recieved test caps, then got dropped because they weren't that good - 3 have played 5 or fewer F...

Cowardly thread title IMO. How is this a D team?

A disgrace. Nobody seems to care though.

Why would they? This series is a farce.

Rassie recruited Brown to play under him at the Stormers.
