Re: NZ hosting Australia 2024- Cricket series thread
To be fair that matches this series, from selection to tactics through to performance. I miss the days of a Wagner or Watling that would fight for every ball. Maybe I'm taking his comments out of context, but I can't recall coming across an international level athlete in any sport, who displayed su...

Re: 6-2 split
Who should the Boks have had on the bench instead of Fourie, whom I thought played very well. Also, how did you determine his scrummaging effort was poor? Finally, what difference did it make to the 7-1 bench that Fourie wasn’t a specialist hooker? Isn’t the argument about pigs covering backline sp...

Re: 6-2 split
Springboks won the last RWC with a 7-1 split. Hard to say with an NZ stupid high tackle red card and two missed kicks. Deon Fourie was immense in the loose. But his throwing and scrummaging were very poor compared, a full complement opposition would likely have taken it. Who should the Boks have ha...

Re: 6-2 split
Not sure why coaches continue to take such a huge risk by opting for a 6-2 bench split? It cost the Blues the match yesterday, they had a halfback playing on the wing for three quarters of the game. I know the Springboks won the last RWC with a 6-2 split, but I don't actually think it in itself was...

Re: Are the Springboks vs Ireland the mini WC this year?
The ABs have won 5 times there since 1996. 5-0 against Sa in that time. I have a soft spot for Loftus 🥰 Apologies. Yes. ABs have absolutely dominated at Loftus. 😡 There'll be no more tests for them there. Most grounds in Sa are like home grounds now for the ABs. 😀 Newlands and Loftus may as well be...
