I rate the black caps. They are much more consistent than the humorously volatile proteas.

Proteas to be pumped by the Springboks though

Both are Louis Vuitton ambassadors. The cup was in a fancy LV box, so... marketing $$$. Poor Saffer Twitter exploded over this and no matter how many times they were told they couldn't understand why a former Bok didn't unbox the cup.

A little late for this. The decline began after the end of 2015. 2015 was peak All Blacks. 2017 we drew the Lions series and it's gotten worse since then. Grass roots participation is in decline across the country and unions are folding. The next 4 - 8 years will need a massive turn around and revi...

Do you really want to see a team win a game but destroy the sport at the same time? The game is growing in Africa because of the Boks. The crowds look bonkers. One thing I’ve picked up during the tournament is just how many more Africans are engaging with this team. Kolisi is some leader and is mag...

Ok, first up the All Blacks have been the benchmark in how to play Rugby for decades now. Once in a lifetime talent turns into many talents in many lifetimes they have just been that good. A factory of producing exceptional talent. But like we have seen with Australian cricket, are we seeing the su...

So. The Boks are the World Champions of the game we all love. Their name is on the trophy and that will always be so. However, when it comes to the way they play the game, they play the dullest, least inspiring and most turgid version of the game. The beat the opposition by strangling the life out ...

The fall on the leg was unfortunate and unintentional. If it was preplanned then it was 5d chess.

The neck roll however was scary though. He had Bongi around the neck and his momentum was carrying him forward. That could have been bad. Thank goodness Bongi has a neck thicker than an elephant leg.
