Re: Israel declares state of war

The way for this conflict to end is a full denazification program of the Palestinians and their sick, vile culture. Nothing less. That starts today with a ground invasion. It ends with a multi-decade denazification program. what's the difference between this mindset and --------------------------- ...

Re: Israel declares state of war

Hamas are vile scum who commit almost unthinkable vile acts and are quite correctly regarded as a terrorist organisation. It would be great if we could somehow magically make them disappear with inflicting huge amounts of suffering on the innocents that surround them. But sadly, even if we could do...

Re: Most disappointing team at the RWC

I actually think it's good for World Rugby that we have a team like Fiji make the QF's. I also think it's fine that teams like Australia, Scotland, Arg, Japan and Italy have missed out. It's a sign of growing depth in the International game. We're a serious International sport when good teams with ...

Re: Does South Africa help Namibian Rugby?

seeing as 92% of the squad is 'white' yet 92% of the population is not, one can safetly assume that rugby is a niche within a niche sport in Namibia. there is only so far they can go with that sort of diaspora disparity.

Re: Where is the hype ?

no doubt about it, the women's WC has sucked a lot of the oxygen out of the proverbial room.

in aus, rugby league and afl finals are obliterating any attention that could possibly be mustered for a far off tournament by a team of no-names played in the middle of the night.
