Tough luck Kiwis. Watched it in a bar full of NZers and they were generally incredibly gracious. Hate to see that amount of controversy. Boks seemed to freeze when they had the opportunity to kill the game and the ABs were immense in the 2nd half.

Have we heard from Matt Williams yet?

Every time someone mentions the Boks then Bungle says that we only ever had easy draws at the WC etc etc. He is obsessed with it. He seems to get massive bites every time though you must admit. ;) I for one, enjoy it. 😂 Comments about the extraordinary tediousness of his narrative constitute “massi...

SA have played there hand... lets see if the AB's respond in kind.
There's going to be a lot of 'South African timeouts' with water bottles and fatties lying on the ground sucking in the big ones.

That makes little sense given we basically have 2 full packs.

sunnybanana

It really is a stunningly one-eyed take on the picture.

sunnybanana

And what about the angle of Genge?

sunnybanana

How does Gardner not see that?

Awful looking Sharks team

Matfield should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Etzebeth. The former was good at lineouts, period. No ball skills, no grunt and in his last world cup was a passenger who ambled around after the ball missing tackles. Etzebeth is both Bakkies and Matfield in one plus more. Matfield was indee...

Must be f**king gutting for you guys but what a match!

I wonder if the organisers have songs lined up for other teams too if they win Ireland - Zombie NZ - Paint it black would be sensational France - hmmm I wonder what song this will be!

Also has that plum Fourie in there x( lol You were hoping for someone else? :? Happy about Reinach and the bench. Would have ...

I’d like to see Dan du Plessis pushing for a Bok spot next year. Thought he was close to the Stormers’ best player last season. Dan would have been handy in the current Bok setup, playing 12 or 13. Dobson are in for exciting times with the amount of talent he scouted. He got the best talent from th...

Interested in seeing Stassen back from his ban. He was a beast at the Bulls but I have to assume that was largely because of the doping.

sunnybanana

It’s like they gave up with current players half way through and then half arsed it…

Dan Vickerman
Clyde Rathbone
Matt Stevens
Pieter de Villiers

Are obvious shouts if you’re gonna go back as far as Mehrtens.

sunnybanana

No mention of Mad Suppet?

sunnybanana

You guys are making a massive mistake with Pollard, the next best thing since white bread . If he return we are going back to boring high kick en charge rugby. How many tries have been spilled by our stupid midfield? Add the try we scored with Libbok distribution and we could have end up in much be...

He’d be well prepared given what he dealt with from his own countrymen after the SR final this year.

sunnybanana

Yeah congrats. No complaints. Superb at the breakdown in particular.

sunnybanana

Tbh I haven’t seen the Irish that rattled in a while. They were dominated at the rucks for large parts of that match. Boks one of the few sides to rattle them. Them and Samoa 8) The physicality was too much. On another day SA do win with a fly half like Ford or Sexton behind them. Tragedy to have a...

Regardless of the result, hoping for a fun and brutal contest with limited controversy and no serious injuries.

sunnybanana

And still there are those who doubt that it is Sards. Read a single music post of Greenavenger’s and you instantly know it’s not the idiot Sards. I don't follow the music thread. Read the post quoted post above. It is 100% a Sards comment. It is 100% not sards. This whole thing is tedious.

Namibia has been playing in the Currie Cup 2nd div for years. Their rep schools team plays in Craven Week and many of their players would have been educated in SA. Their top schools regularly feature in South African rugby festivals too.

sunnybanana

Namibia is likely to be wealthy as fudge within the next decade on the back of the recent oil discovery. Expect that to be be a game changer.

Yeh I'm with Dai, sure the best two teams in other pools may be better, but no other pool has a 3rd team as good as pool C, its just a load of never weres, meanwhiles, also rans, best placed 6N finish in 2 decades is a 3rd place, kind of teams.

Was on Twitter earlier and there were a staggering number saffa accounts gagging for a bit of Irish outrage about the 7-1 bench split; and reposting anything that even hinted at a negative reaction. They were full on monitoring all Irish media for even a hint of it. And so my question is this: is t...

Sided with the French in awarding this World Cup. Absolutely disgraceful farce that. x( What? We were one of the three bids! What pissed me off was the recommendation that SA get it as it was supposedly safer than the other countries in the bid. That was bollox. They had better stadiums. It's most ...

Starting odds will be based on form etc… but once the betting starts they change to reflect where the money is being placed. Basic market dynamics.

sunnybanana

Make the Ireland camp plan a bit different and to change their thinking on the end game. Goad the Irish into a 6-2 split Rassie up to his usual nonsense, doubt Farrell will pay it the slightest bit of attention What nonsense? 7-1 was always a strong possibility in this game once they’d got through ...

Good call to get Pollard back in as soon as possible. There’ll more than likely be more injuries ahead of the knock outs so they can always call in another hooker if needed. Clearly they’re confident that Fourie is back up to speed there.
