Definitely my motm. A starting Bok XV player if ever I saw one. 50/22 kickers are what we need.

His game has improved a lot since he lost that stupid hitch-kick and started running directly

The Lions were simply superb. I don’t know when last I saw a 14 man side dismantle the opposition so effectively. (The sharks away to Otago in the 90s maybe. )They did not miss a beat. Just got stuck in and nullified the dodgy officials.That 7 man pack was awesome.

I'm assuming Deepsouth is AC's account on here? Not so sure. AC (unlike this sad, insecure wee ocker) actually knew a bit about rugby, and actually had a sense of humour. All this guy does is spout irrelevant, jingoist nonsense and whack a laughing emoji at the end of every post. Oh well, at least ...

Er, no, you are the only one talking about World Cup wins...on a 6N thread. Not sure if you can read, but all this tortured "explaining" you're doing merely confirms the fact that you really are shite at trolling. No, I was talking about how the six nations is a mediocre comp because the ...

On defence always call for the ball and go for the catch and mark it in the 22

On offence go for the catch but slap it back if it looks dodgy - trust the player’s instinct.

Can’t pretend a Wigglesworth run attack sparks any joy, but how on earth can anyone create an attack that causes any issues at all if you’re going to make 20-25 handling errors in a game? Assuming ball in play time of just under 40 minutes, we drop the ball nearly every two minutes! Assume 50/50 po...

A big favourite again for me today Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American singer and songwriter. A major figure in the development of soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which made the US R&B charts, many of which crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100. Among h...

Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul has some of the best covers you could wish for.

Bobby Womack's California Dreamin' is better than the original.

No.

I simply described them as homesick children.

You felt the need the need to provide a context.

Look at the timeline above.

So I did not go straight in with the British are appalling angle as you so dishonestly assert here.

Please.

You are right - it is silly it was not my intention in posting that pic to start a Boer war kerfuffel. It is the first time I have seen a pic depicting so many young Boer POWs together and it was a bit of a shock. But it seems I saw only the narrow picture - I had omitted the context. I’m just a lit...

Do you think that you lot were justified in starting this war?

If I were a rugby coach my first rule would be that neither 9 or 10 kick goals ever . Being in a position where you pick your primary play makers based on a largely orthogonal skill, or else miss out on game deciding points, is fucking stupid . I don't want my 9 or 10 wasting their training time (&...

I had a look. Apparently the youngest of the Bermuda POWs was aged 6. Given that there is significant literature stating that boys from the age of 12 were supporting the kommandos I would expect there to be quite a few early teens captured and imprisoned, and I would not be in the slightest surpris...

I had a look.

Apparently the youngest of the Bermuda POWs was aged 6.

Service in Boer kommandos started at 16. The kommandos were supported in the field by younger teenagers from the age of 12 who were too young to fight but cared for the spare horses etc. Without having any context for why those in that photo were prisoners, it is quite possible they were captured a...

They all look very over-dressed for Bermuda weather. Probably why they look so happy. Just homesick children Service in Boer kommandos started at 16.

Scotland being spanked here

Some days are like that. But it's much harder to get a team to click in attack when you've spent a year coaching them the opposite (and have practically no relevant coaching expertise anyway) but still expect them to attack at full pace. A bunch of the errors were inexplicable and I don't expect to...

To my mind the most important saffa in the Scotland setup is Pieter de Villiers

and what about Sinatra?

Pavarotti should qualify

and Patti Smith

I thought the ref was particularly poor in the Bulls/Saracens fixture.

Was impressed by Mr. Jack Makepeace in the Zebra/Cheetahs game earlier. First time I see him. Relaxed dude.

Grant Williams makes me smile

Glad to see Deepsouth has recovered from the HIA he suffered during the Rugby World Cup.

Yes - the obvious selection

Pollard on the bench

So in the context of being South African adding enough sugar to your drink such you can tolerate it can be associated with hard man notions, and elsewhere not so much. Fair enough Dude.

30 years ago I bout a AEG coffee grinder - a burr grinder - it is still in great working order

The only player I'll fault is De Allende. His distribution is simply horrific. I swear if he passed the ball more, or tried to offload, we'd score more tries. Plus he started the handbags after being tackled out. No he didn’t. Jamie Richie ran in and slapped Graham (who was still lying on Kriel) on...
