Stormers only fly out tonight. Dobson on his challenges the last couple of years “The fact that I’m present and engaged with the team, and not distracted, has had a positive impact on the players,” Stormers coach John Dobson told DM168. “I’m not trying to say we’ve improved simply because of my coa...

Maybe not but he does hold several world records against the ABs.

He once beat the All Blacks on his own 31 - 19.

We might see 50 000 people in a stadium when we finally relax the restrictions, but I believe it's not sustainable. There's just attractions that are better for a family than a day at the rugby. I would love to see a return to those days. But even before covid, numbers were falling. I don't necessa...

So what is the best way to protect your domestic game do you think? It's definitely about money. Beyond that, the only thing I could think that might keep players in SA is for the domestic game to come back to life and for stadiums to go back to 50,000 a game like it used to be. But the only thing ...

Bring in something like the Crims or Taffs have - you can pick players that have so many national/franchise caps in the bank plus say 2 exceptions. That could be workable no? We had that rule in a while ago, before Rassie scrapped it. There was a 30 cap limit. Actually a very good idea in practice....

I have respect for Jake White, but what he's proposing is very out of date. Why would players take a paycut and play in SA where we are red flagged constantly? Why break your body in meaningless derbies year after year?

Things is, we were in that dark place. Why people are moaning about Rassie is beyond me.

This whole issue of the snub of South Africa for any awards, and by extension Rassie's inquest by World Rugby, could not be better motivation for the Boks. This team is a unique bunch of players who seem to enjoy this sort of provocation, perhaps because so many of them come from rough backgrounds....

Springboks now the only SH team unbeaten on tour in NH I think England will change that. Vengance for the WC final. Not really vengeance tho, is it?

I've a lot of people talking up Russell, but his poor place kicking kept the Boks in the game.

What about Steyn, Van den Merve, etc? The Safscots all played well to our advantage so all of them high ratings for sa and low when rating them as Scots.
