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 . Nah. Rassie's genius was getting to Japan 8-10 days before anyone else. Most teams have a poor patch 2-3 weeks (even 4 dependent on team dynamics) into an extended away tour. By the ...

Around the 30th minute England really had a good spell. They launched phase after phase of attack. The Springboks defence held. Vunipola at one time was driven back in the tackle from Marx and Mostert. I haven't seen the Springboks tackle like that except in the last minutes against nz in nz for a R...

Sterk span. Lions lyk sterker as vroeer vanjaar! Lyk of die voorry die tweede helfte geruil gaan word. Dreyer Canpher Smith dalk die beste combo? Skossaan uit maar twee speedsters en Ulenga was goed superfan game. EW Viljoen op 15 n aanvaller. Willem Alberts op slot. Leeus kan dien met sy bulk in di...

All the talk of cups wins. Got some youtube footage of Springboks '86
The Springboks did not compete in the first two WCs but some footage of the Springbok backline at the time of the first WC show they would have challenged.

beyond aswell.. "Brent Impey, took NZR in a different direction, making overtures about a competition with two Pacific Island teams and excluding South Africa. NZR felt it was a power broker in the alliance and didn’t believe SA Rugby was serious about sending more teams north. When Covid-19 hit and...

How many cups have Leinster won Euro , Pro14 and in a Irish competitions if any ? 4 + 7 + 31 = 42 I strongly suspect those figures do not include 2019-2o, in which case the answer is 44 Fantastic. The kind of team everyone in the World wants to beat. The Everest of rugby. Looking forward. Sa teams ...

England deserved to be in the final! They had a convincing win over nz in their semi. Nz would have made a good final aswell but then they should have picked Owen Franks for the wc aswell as Laumape of the hurricanes. Nz's wings also dissapointed a bit in this wc and if they had the bulk and speed o...

The historic Superrugby game in Soweto. Soweto is a black township. Sa with its diversity united behind the bulls on the day. So you had the bulls supporters who loved their beer in draughts coming to a town where you had to drink your beer out of the calabash. Rugby was a byproduct of culture on th...

Austraiia done very well! Sa had a good spell when the quota system were scrapped a few years and the Bulls had the biggest Superrugby final win in history then 62-17 over nz chiefs who won it later under their now Wallaby coach Dave Rennie but even when it was reinstated slowly started to get to gr...

Willemse must prefer 10 For me watching from the sidelines tv and played quite a bit i can see it is as if he needs a split second more time and he has attacking ability Therefore i am sure he misdirects himself by playing 10. He is used to playing there and therefore believes it is his position. Ra...

How many Saffers are plying their trade in Leinster and name them if any

sorry sa rugby only starts 9 Oct. so not easy to answer my question suppose
The new man has to show up first
We've only seen the trials and the Superfan games
Real stuff starting now

Would like to know from those watching sa rugby what they think with Beast officially retired now. Kitshoff will probably start as he plays with Frans Malherbe for the Stormers. Malherbe was the starting tighthead in the WC final. There is a position open for loosehead start or bench who fills the v...

One tactic that was blew by the media before the semis was the Bomb squad The Springboks were then starting to hide a second set of tight five forwards on the bench. They were a fantastic scrumming unit. In the game Mapimpi was replaced. He inadvertently then walked up to the Bomb squad instead of u...

Namibia normally play as Africa1 in the WC. Although the team revolve around a couple farmers they scored good tries. Nearly beat Ireland one year. There challengers in Africa1 is Marocco Kenya and Zim

personal rankings
1. Jantjies
2. Lombard
3. Wolhuter
4. Steyn
5. Swanepoel
Willemse to play 15

When Pollard got injured Rassie said the hierarchy is 1. Jantjies 2. Willemse 3. Bosch 4. Steyn 3 and 4 could be the other way round not sure Will rankings change with Wolhuter's good play then. He's so young 18 or 19. Will Superrugby Unlock or CurrieCup 10s make the ranking. Heard Pumas has such a ...

I think Boks should play the WC winning backline if they get to the RCs. Except Pollard injured.
The epl Sharks player RjvR could be an outsider for centre
Same with forwards, play the same pack

Interesting and Elton did an excellent job. England's planning wasn't as on as their semis against nz. They assumed the Faf's box kicks and at the first scrum i saw their wings retreating to cover for the box. Faf send it wide in a flash and Mapimpi had acres of space. England cleverly exploited the...

How competitive would Zimbabwe or Namibia be against teams like Cheetahs, or Southern Kings? Can't say for sure but would say Namibia could lose by 30-40 against Cheetahs. Namibia is consisting out of only a handful clubs Could run the Kings closer maybe lose by 10-20 Zimbabwe is behind and will be ...

When Marx came on as a sub he maybe complemented the secret tactic even more I think England expected an aerial assault of sorts as the boks never gave any other intent beforehand in their road to the final. On the day it was a surprise to England and even to many Springbok supporters as the Springb...
