I know. But the explanation stands.

now that you have volunteered yourself - would you be kind enough to explain the "gag" to me.

I am at loss and don't like feeling left out.

My question was directed to the Kiwi

"Best" and "Worst" are so, like, judgemental, maaaan.
How about Ones you like most and least. It's just an opinion.

Some interesting early trends - I think 2 posters have their names on the trophies already

Why are you not answering my question?

Monk Zombie

I see Werner Kok is off to Ulster

I'm glad you picked up on the Wurst HKL. Took me all day to think of that

But what does it mean?

I don’t understand the doom and gloom. There is a lot to take away from the Welsh performance. At times the French looked very jittery in defence.

Monk Zombie

I think Gotland did brilliantly to extract that performance from that side today.

Can't keep picking POM, he's an old man. Yesterday was a replay of the NZ game- he can't hang in there when the opposition is fully up for it. The entire pack got stoved in but he's supposed to be the talisman and enforcer. Think after the SA tour he's gone Should be after Scotland tbf He is a bum ...

Monk Zombie

Very obvious from Ben Earl's post-match comments that this was a hyper-charged emotional performance, they were clearly channeling the same backs-against-the-wall, "nobody gives us a chance" mentality that they had in the World Cup SF https://twitter.com/ITVRugby/status/1766536823197532428 I'd be c...

Will have to watch that again but I suspect the England pack put in a lot of unseen hard work

Monk Zombie

Aussie sides looking up for it

Lions’ tour concentrating some minds maybe

Monk Zombie

No oh dear about it. They could easily have gone the All Black's way... Flip of a coin. But it would change nothing... only a couple of games. Bryce Lawrence Exactly! Wayne Barnes. History could look so different. But it isn't really... is it? Even if those flip of a coin matches went differently.....

Monk Zombie

Plus 95 and 2023 could easily have been NZ victories. Then NZ would have 5 and SA 2. So but for a missed kick, history suddenly looks a lot different... When really it shouldn't. oh dear No oh dear about it. They could easily have gone the All Black's way... Flip of a coin. But it would change noth...

I mean it's not rocket science. The AB's play generally an open fast paced game to blow teams off the park, which works well most of the time. However in RWC games were refs become more pedantic and teams more conservative this tactic doesn't work as well. Still won three of the things though, so d...

Pity it wasn't a three test series. Interesting to see will Ireland have a high altitude camp to prepare for Pretoria instead of the usual Portugal warm weather camp. Apparently also an autumn international test between Ireland and SA, so could well be a decider in Dublin! Nice, good way of decidin...

The ABs have won 3 world cups Hardly a failure, by any measure Statistically, not a failure compared to the Boks, with 4 in the same time period Besides which, it’s deadset, not dead set. Is the OP a bot? wrong AB's 30% success rate [3 out of 10]- with 2 of those being at home Boks 50% [4 out of 8]...

Monk Zombie

Very disappointed - not so much at the result as the performance

Monk Zombie

Why not take the 3 points then stupidly offend

Monk Zombie

Stormers very fortunate to emerge 4 down at the half

Monk Zombie

Stormers not at the races

Always thought that but it’s not true

Loftus fixture now also delayed by lightening

Lightening interrupts play

How pleasant is watching the Lions/Sharks game with no stadium DJ blasting away?

Trampoline park owners fined after 11 people broke their backs at Flip Out Chester All the injuries occurred while people used the park's "tower jump" - where they dropped more than 17ft into a foam pit.

Reffell kills the opposition momentum stone dead.

Not many players like that about at the moment.

Monk Zombie

Would be madness to exclude Reffell

Never heard of doing corned beef on the braai.

Maties fully deserved the win. They played very well against a strong wind in the second half. The disrupted the Ikey lineout the whole night. Windy conditions makes it difficult for backline play. Ikeys had chances to win but the Maties defended very well. I heard that some or other safety officia...

What’s happening in the Ikey Maties game?

Any thoughts on Brace's Refereeing performance? I thought there was a general absence of refereeing during play and some strange interpretations when he did bother, That maul call at the end was ridiculous given how long some standing tackles were allowed throughout the game and the tackled players...

all this crap started when Australia selected props who were incapable of scrumming. Bill Young, Matt Dunning etc. Armed only with a scowl and no other physical scrumming abilities they merrily went about collapsing scrums, losing their bind etc etc for reset after reset.

To my mind the most important saffa in the Scotland setup is Pieter de Villiers

Had not really noticed Rodney before - now he presents like the first pangs of an infected tooth.

Currently Lay 19.4 states: Teams must be ready to form the scrum within 30 seconds of the mark being made. Sanction: Free-kick. Found that interesting. Maybe just enforcing existing laws around the scrum will have some unexpected positive effects. Law 19: Scrum I never realised how detailed the scr...
