Re: Rugby Championship: Wallabies vs Springbokke: MATCH THREAD: Sat 18th Sept

Its hard to see how this Boks team is going to beat the ABs. The Wallabies have played well but also made a lot of mistakes. The Boks have looked toothless.

Re: Rugby Championship: Wallabies vs Springbokke: MATCH THREAD: Sat 18th Sept

Wallabies have barely had possession this 2nd half, so why kick it away on attack?

If the Wallabies could take a high ball clean they'd be well in control of this game.

To be honest, I thought it strange that with the covid situation and Afghanistan, it was now deemed safe to tour Pakistan? The PCB is worried how this will effect future tours.

Re: Your country's proportion of best 100 rugby players of all time

It's all for debate obviously. Jason Little was a dominant centre in the early 90s. He regularly played guys like Guscott, Bunce, Sella, also Gerber. I'd say he had the better of them. He was of Horan until his injury. Wasn't the same after that. Again it's a debate. I'd debate that strongly. Littl...
