We all saw how easy it is to rile people up when they tried to put Zuma in prison, and what's happening and been happening in Tswane and Joburg since the DA took over.

Re: 2024 Springbokke

We had a solid team for the last 6 years and some of the players are getting on a bit. It seems as though Rassie will focus more on building for the future now. I won't be surprised if we see a few bad results with more youngsters getting capped.

Re: Saffers

The one thing I hate about fish paste is that once you pop that seal you better finish the whole bottle. I bet there are millions of South African homes with a half full bottle of vrot fishpaste in the fridge, growing hairy green-black nasty crap on it.

What's really exciting is that I don't think we have even seen the benefits from our 2019 win yet.

Re: As the dust settles - RWC debrief

The referee apologised to the All Black captain for incorrectly penalising him at a ruck. The ABs should have had that penalty... instead, Pollard kicked a goal. Those three points weren't really the Boks right to score. I'm not complaining about that, these things happen and it's the way of the ga...

You lost the game because your players missed their kicks. It has nothing to do with the refs, you had opportunities and you failed to take them. That is a typical SA/ENG way to look at rugby.

It's simple, if you go into contact with an upright posture and there's head contact, you're going to get carded regardless of what your intent is. We need defensive players to bend 90 at the waist when going into contact. If you then hit someone's head, there's mitigation. It needs to be policed an...
