Re: Fantastic Rassie Analysis
Rassie is the new Jesus for your god bothering brothers. Not seen the genius in him, yet. Second post today about Saffas and God. And you have history on this. What is your issue here? I think the issue is that you think your imaginary friend is real you are jumping to conclusions there :lol:

It maybe because there's a direct correlation between level of hardship and belief in a 'god', the least atheistic countries are the most poverty stricken and corrupt, so I think mr bungle is merely emphasizing the fact South Africa is a third-world nation?

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our def...

Re: Northampton v Munster HEC.
Finn Smith is a lovely natural 10, loads of teams will be chasing him. Honestly, the second half of that game was about as poor as I've seen him this season. He was saved by Mitchell coming on. Mitchell's speed of feet and accuracy of long pass was what allowed Saints to score the try when they wen...

Disgraceful stuff. Murphy’s control has been inept too. It was clear the Drua were going this way a while ago and he did nothing to stop it.
