Re: RWC Final : New Zealand vs South Africa - Sat 28th @ 20.00 BST
As a bok supporter, I was sad for the NZ players standing around, waiting for the medal ceremony, some crying. It meant as much for them as for us. To lose by a point is a bitch.
Respect for that showing playing more than 50 minutes with 14 men.

Re: RWC Final : New Zealand vs South Africa - Sat 28th @ 20.00 BST
But is their back against the wall really? They snotklapped the ABs before the tournament and have danced around France and England to make it to this point. The real rugby starts now and to me the Springboks look tired of it all. One thing NZ will have to manage is Nenabar has essentially named tw...

Re: RWC Final : New Zealand vs South Africa - Sat 28th @ 20.00 BST
I would never underestimate the Springboks. As above, I am just noting the momentum of both teams and the shift in momentum. Also, Malcolm Marx is a huge loss for SA, particularly when facing the All Blacks. A Springbok team with his back against the wall is a dangerous animal. But is their back ag...

Re: Official United Rugby Championship thread
I am not so confident like Handy. The Stormers have a nightmare tour coming up and will be without their Boks. The Saffer team to beat will be the Bulls. Nonsense. The Stormers have sorted out their finances, and bridged the gap between the schools and clubs and playing for WP/Stormers (compared to...

My prediction for the Saffer sides this year: Stormers Bulls Lions Sharks I think you are being very hopeful. Bulls are going to be the team to beat. Lions don't have money so are going to prop up the bottom again. Sharks have some serious artillery coming back. Right now it would be great to just ...

Did the teams share a beer after the game? I really hope so.
Would also be good of Bongi and Curry to shake hands and make amends.

Re: RWC SF2 England vs Springboks on 21/10 @ 21h00
Unchanged team. Totally fine except for Willie imho. There was no real point in having him on the bench against France, and I didn’t think he made an impact when coming on. Would have preferred another forward on the bench, but anyway. Willie is only there on reputation. I think after this RWC he w...

To try and engage with it - England are obvious underdogs. Our pack has a lot of players in it who have in the past been right up there with the best in the world. They last dominated a world class side in 2022(?) the home game down to 14 vs Ireland. So yes, theoretically it could happen again but ...
