Last year South Africa didn't bother turning up to the Rugby Championship. Although they demanded they still receive their share of the revenue. They made up some bullshit excuse about player welfare, but everyone knows he reason they didn't bother to participate is that they wouldn't have been abl...

That Baby Eating lock position is the hardest one to fill in rugby. Makes a massive difference to a team having someone of that size going about creaming rucks on their own and absolutely loving the biff. I think the days of the enforcer lock are long gone. If they ever existed. NZ won RWC's in 201...

The Boks coming from absolutely nowhere to win RWC 2019 has left lasting damage it seems. Chin up chaps, only 2 years before the next one. To be in second place is hardly no where - I say that as NZ are second again. The fact that South Africa are happy to go another year not good enough to beat th...

Fok, it is what it is. CSA desperately need the money, but health and safety is more important. Let's hope we can re-schedule.

Also, we need time to get some batting practice.

Vermaak is no Kitshoff, but scrum dominance is not the doing of only 1 player. I still expect WP to edge the scrums.

Malherbe is the real scrumming machine.

Really good cheers Monk. Only small shame was the beaches but I wouldn't be a lay around on the beach type.

Aussies problem is Mitchell Starc. He was such a threat previously he made Hazelwood and Cummins look better than they are. Bowling like he is the whole Aussie attack looks toothless.

This gents is why tests are the pinnacle of cricket. 4 tests and 3 results possible in the last session.

Starc with 11 wickets at 34.27 and Lyon with 7 wickets at 58.71. Lyon I can understand, he's a steady performer, but Starc is nowhere near his best.

Certain Australians seem to get so triggered by Indian cricket players. I blame Harbajhan Singh and the 2001 series. Prior to this series the Indians had seemed polite, humble sorts. Going about their cricket quietly but getting beaten up continually by the Aussies. Since then they've had a harder ...

Well, Rahane will carry his bat now. No way he will risk going to back to the changeroom to face Kohli.

I thought Ivan van Zyl had a good run. He was terrible as a bok. Maybe he's coming right. The sevens guys like Gans, Arendse, Specman were good. Still not a big fan of underweight rugby players.

It is a shame South Africa didn't turn up to give a better gauge on the level the Rugby Championship teams are currently at. However, even the most optimistic Bok supporter must realize it is unlikely they would have gone unbeaten if they did come. Better Bok teams that the one that won the World C...

The aim with the competition was to prepare players for the RC. After we withdraw the CC was more the real thing. Just to play rugby again is the main thing. We need our players to get back in the groove as 2021 is a massive year for us. TRC and RWC champions up against The British and Irish Lions....

Whenever I watch the 6 Nations, I always cheer for Ireland, mostly because I think their style of play and their attitudes are similar to South Africa. Having said that, our recent record against them is very poor. 26 played, 18 wins for South Africa, 7 wins for Ireland with 1 draw, with Ireland aid...
