Re: The WC is too long and lacks enough must see games

So far after 2 weeks we have had 2 big games, and by that I mean games that will have a material influence on the eventual winners. The rest of the games are more like exhibition games with little or no point to them. We need an 8 team WC where every game is a full battle as everyone plays everyone...

So Kwagga is more of a back than a forward then is he ? And proven at test match level? Because that’s the implication
158 games of 7s is the thinking. I agree though, not tested.
He is a backup plan.. he will hold his own on wing

Re: RWCR3 Ireland vs Springboks

My view from our thread on the 7/1 split: The 7/1 thing is a red herring for me. Both sides will replace their front rows, that's a given, but even then they've already a weakness at hooker. If they replace both their 2nd rows, happy days, it means Etzebeth is off. Small advantage in the backrow bu...
