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...

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...

Another boring season of F1 awaits. This is the most important point. It’s not good sport. Or, arguably, business. This line is boring. F1 is more popular than ever and revenue has increased massively. Did you also complain when Mercedes was dominant for a number of years? Even if Max ends up winni...

Test cricket at the Caketin? I'm sure we've been dumb enough to try it, but it's not a true cricket ground like the Basin.

Wagner averaged 23 against the Aussies. We're in dire need of that sort of strike rate for the upcoming series. Nope, apparently they preferred Kuggeleijn for this one.

It's largely down to a bit of confusion as to how he got past TOT, presuming Bealham given time off, after only playing a few games in Ireland and not really having a proper pre season. It's because of NH's hard on for NZ rugby. Jager will bring more IP than some other second string Irish props. Ar...

I was hoping NZ would put up a fight. Maybe next time. Our headspace against Australia is down the toilet. We can bring it to India and England but Aussies have us mentally f**ked before the toss.

Good to see Jager get a run. I remember Irish posters telling us his potential AB selection would be a sign of how far we’d slipped. But here he is, turning out for the No 1 team in the game. Think that's still fair comment. NZ have slipped to our level. We're a good side but NZ circa 2011-2015 wou...

Agreed Booji. The best commentators (e.g. Richie Benaud) just shut up and let us watch, adding comments when needed. This lot just add noise.
