Rob Howley was a world class scrumhalf. Totally different player to Joost but we were robbed of their matchup in 1997. Would have been one for the ages. Two fantastic nines, truly. Rob was class. So nippy. Not physically blessed like Joost... But just so quick in deed and thought. I wouldn't bet on...

Rob Howley? Do you think Rob Howley would agree with you?

Gregan my favourite. FDP is mine, I don't know if he's necessarily the best of the names listed, but his rugby brain and tactical kicking were superb. Van der Westhuizen was ridiculously talented in attack and defence - mercurial. Not one of the other candidates comes close. du Preez was the ultima...

Can't give a PT if try is scored.

You can if the try would have been scored in a better position but for the infringement

Spare a thought for the saffa 9 who benched for Faf who was lightning quick and scored some scintillating WC tries but was always no.2 (rightly) behind his Fafness. He’s definitely as good/better than at least one of those listed. Reinach? Scored hatricks in 2 WC games - one of them before half tim...

What is the motive for these n incidents?

What is their message and to whom?

Kitshoff is no mug and must feel pretty spare on his island of wealth in that sea of financial malaise.

It certainly is the sentiment of a fair numbe rof US right wingers (and a growing nmbe rin the UK) who keep calling things woke while having no idea of what it is, beyond some concept that it comes from the supposed left.

I know McCarthy is a young lad but his performance levels declined throughout the 6Ns. Might need a wee bit more of a recharge. Also with Ryan out, wouldn't want to risk him unnecessarily. Jenkins can hopefully find a big performance against his old team. Declined is an understatement- he looked sc...

Any you heard rumours (from boards.ie) that Kitshoff has got homesick, similar to his stint in France, and is to return to the Stormers for next season? That's a pity for Ulster, but I'd be lying if I wasn't excited by the chance that he might be coming home. Some SA players just seem to struggle t...

I thought Simalani was poor, often didn’t pass when another player had space.

I thought he was very good.

I was depressed by Wales yesterday. The Welsh crowd ecstatic with those last tries just reinforced that. Would you prefer they booed? This Wales team is terrible but I don't think a lack of effort is the problem. Fans that only sing when they're winning suck, that is not when the team needs it. No ...

Genge is playing much better without all the machismo.

Imo yesterday was his best game for England.

He caused that by saying Smith had handled the ball on the line, which would have been a drop out, not a scrum. He needs to be more direct and clearer in his comms. It went on long after the TMO had ruled on it. Because the ref and tmo were clearly incorrect in their judgement. What? Smith took the...

Yeah - couple of really brilliant tries. Their discipline was awful though - 10 penalties in the 1st half alone - quite lucky to not get anyone binned until the 63rd minute.

I wasn’t convinced about all those penalties.

I generally believe the top sides are equally well conditioned at this and test level.

But.

Question marks about the fitness of that French side. They just faded right out of the game.

What a charming piece of work you are. Very pleasant. I simply commented that Earls assertion that only people from Dublin would be able to make the game. It's a ridiculous assertion. By the way, whether the game is on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, in the middle of the night, on Christmas day or whe...
