Rassie is the new Jesus for your god bothering brothers. Not seen the genius in him, yet.

Second post today about Saffas and God. And you have history on this.

What is your issue here?

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our def...

Are you one of those Saffer losers, Monk, who justifies the years of Bok poor performances by claims of one man’s supposed cheating? I don’t think I have ever posted anything about McCaw’s cheating on here. BUT Given McCaw’s universal reputation as a serial cheat - the pic does amuse me. You are at...

I came across this on Dave Gallaher the skipper of the AB Originals: The Athletic News' description of Gallaher in 1905 as "a first-rate obstacle of the passive resister kind" was among the milder critiques. Subsequent New Zealand chroniclers like JJ Stewart, Terry McLean and Winston McCarthy have r...

Bokke always feel hard done by during rule changes. There are two cynical teams in world rugby, but the Bokke have more talent at it than England. Forever the refrain. Back in 1976 having lost the series when leaving the Republic with their tails beween their legs JJ Stewart the AB coach said - "We...

I don't think Lomani intended to elbow him in the head. The connection was simply too good given how fast it happened and he wasn't really looking. It would actually be difficult to connect that well intentionally unless it was something you regularly practiced. I think he just flailed his arms dow...

Finn Smith is a lovely natural 10, loads of teams will be chasing him. Honestly, the second half of that game was about as poor as I've seen him this season. He was saved by Mitchell coming on. Mitchell's speed of feet and accuracy of long pass was what allowed Saints to score the try when they wen...

What law changes are required to contrive “the return of the ruck” and how will this improve the game?

How does one even get 'cat's elbow' is a surname? When Napoleon conquered the Low Countries the French required everybody to register their surnames. The Dutch folk didn’t think this French occupation thing would last very long and took the absolute piss out of it. They registered themselves with a...

Read the laws

He leads a relatively solitary lifestyle. In Ripley’s Game his interaction with others is anything but charismatic, in fact ...

a new Tom Ripley series starts on Netflix today. the reviews are glowing. I watched two episodes and didn't really care for it. It's a bit sterile. Couldn't help but compare it with the film and I'm not sure it stacks up too well there. It probably doesn't need an extra six hours I watched episode ...

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. I don’t like to criticize referees, but ‘looking a bit like Matt Giteau’ is the only rugby credibility this bloke seems to have should have carded Lowrens for...

I think to be taken seriously as the greatest lock ever, a person would have needed to excel in an era without lifting in the lineout.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Yep - Whitelock is one of those fellows who cannot lift his arms when he jumps and cannot jump when he lifts his arms.

Rob Howley was a world class scrumhalf. Totally different player to Joost but we were robbed of their matchup in 1997. Would have been one for the ages. Two fantastic nines, truly. Rob was class. So nippy. Not physically blessed like Joost... But just so quick in deed and thought. I wouldn't bet on...

Gregan my favourite. FDP is mine, I don't know if he's necessarily the best of the names listed, but his rugby brain and tactical kicking were superb. Van der Westhuizen was ridiculously talented in attack and defence - mercurial. Not one of the other candidates comes close. du Preez was the ultima...

Can't give a PT if try is scored.

You can if the try would have been scored in a better position but for the infringement

Spare a thought for the saffa 9 who benched for Faf who was lightning quick and scored some scintillating WC tries but was always no.2 (rightly) behind his Fafness. He’s definitely as good/better than at least one of those listed. Reinach? Scored hatricks in 2 WC games - one of them before half tim...
