I assume we are going to see similar results from the boks as the last years before the RWC. Wins and losses.

I can already see the script. We go in as overwhelming favourites, and then in the first test we get into a streetfight with them and lose.

Sounds familiar

For Iconic - are we talking about a figure head of their genre? If So: David Hasslehoff Which genre is he the figure head of? Shitty music? If so, Bieber might want a word with you. Hasselhoff literally has an iconic image of him singing on the Berlin Wall as it came down. That's pretty iconic righ...

The last execution by the guillotine was only in 1979. I would have thought it was abandoned earlier.

Arriving in Marseille on Thursday night on a work jolly. Need recommendations for eating and drinking on Friday please. We are staying 5mins walk from the marina. Also, what time should we start heading to the Velodrome? Heard there were issues during the WC. Cheers Eat and drink has to be Bouillab...

When I was travelling through SE Asia back in the day, the Israeli backpackers had the worst reputation by far for being arseholes to their local hosts. One of the poor workers at a hostel on Khaosan Rd woke me up at some ungodly hour pleading for help coz these aggro cunts refused to leave or even...

It really is a sad story. Best of luck for him going forward.

This. He had the status of a demigod in Germany. Could talk the dumbest stuff in interviews, even confirmed doping during his playing days, he called it "Vitamin injections", yet nobody cared and he forever remained the Kaiser.

Mario Zagallo must have been the first?! 1958 and 1970?

Edit: just checked: winner as a player in 1958 and 1962, and as coach in 1970. And he died 4 days ago, 5th of January 2024.

Playing abroad makes him ineligible for England selection, no?! Or is there a Giteau law or similar?!

I can't stand the voice of the singer

I've been a bit ambivalent about the latest series of Fargo. It's been good, but I wasn't overly impressed with episode 7 tbh, and wasn't sure if it was worth persevering with. Needn't have worried. Episode 8 is terrific! Sets up the final 2 episodes beautifully... Only up to ep 3. At least back to...

You watching Dark in german, subtitled? Acting is quite poor, couldnt watch it.

Bron-Yr-Aur for me. A lovely piece of music. I remember when I spent 2 semesters in the US at college, coming in after smoking a joint with my room mate and the song coming on while we were both mindlessly scrolling on our phones/laptops in silence, and when the song finished, him saying across the...

The real highlight in that try was the pathetic tackle (non-)attempt of the England 8 Dombrandt. What a joke.

Shocking lack of self awareness from Raggs. Israel is a hostile occupying force. There's almost universal use of the term 'occupied territories' ffs. Palestinians have been killed by Israelis as a matter of course for years. The universal use of such terms for Israel is part of the every day anti z...

I was really hoping that the NZ Supporters wouldn't pull a French or English bitch fest after the match. Mostly the posters on here have been reasonable. Out there it's horrendous. From fans to ex players and coaches. I am also tired of the " we were the better team playing better rugby "...

Amputate

Having said that, I didn't bother with the last test of the most recent Lions series. Sorry, but that series was as ugly as test rugby gets. I hope. Of course that Lions Series was atrocious. Played in the height of covid. Empty stadiums. Half the bok squad ill the week before the first test. It sh...

Better than Juan Smith? Will leave that to the Saffers...

Juan Smith has always been my favorite bok blindside. But PSdT's athleticism is next level. Difficult choice.

Those winners are all well deserved. Even the XV of the year.

What a shitshow. They had a great coach in rennie, he did quite well given what he had available. The wallabies would have gone to the semis had rennie stayed for the RWC.

How anyone can hire EJ is bejond me. He is past it. A coach of another era.

Fourie

Mapimpi
Willie
Nyakane/Koch

Perhaps looking at handing over captaincy, don't see Kolisi/Bongi making next world cup

Yes, all of those

fun fact: how cool is that final win for jesse and trevor?? The two guys that had to go home injured in 2019, on the field in the final when the final whistle blew 4 years later

Unbelievable really, but so deserved. What a legend!

That red card has lifted NZ big time. Total respect for that performance. Keep your heads up high.

And. Great too see they keep their medals around their necks!

I thought the players (of the year) were actually a good selection, but then you pull this.
Funny looking picture of Schmidt?
