You're clearly not much of a rugby fan. This is OK.

As has been posted above, one of the great things about the 6N is travelling to the away games. I got a train to Paris, took a two hour flight to Rome, could drive to Cardiff etc. None of this is possible to SA, before we even get talking about the cost.sorCrer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:04 pmGet ta fuck.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 3:32 pm Absolutely zero interest in the Boks joining the 6N.

Struggle to get one positive BIL supporter.
Oh we’re very positive about the 6N thanks
I don’t know any Saffas who are excited about the Boks in the 6 or 7 nations
I like the competition for what it is. Always lekker to sit at home on a blisteringly hot Saturday afternoon watching rugby from a freezing Murrayfield.
Personally I would like to see the Boks campaigning home and away in mini tours.

I really think that if Italy doesn’t improve we should go back to the 5 Nations, maybe for a while they should be able to have 5-6 foreigners ( SA, Arg etc. w/out caps) playing in Europe in their teams.

Ja tours will be bubbling.
But we'll end up playing in the 6 nations. Earning £.

Plenty of the rugby in the 6N is turgid, boring crap. Some is also very good.
But all of that is secondary to the history, the friendly rivalry, the meeting up with mates, the friendships you make with other supporters that last for decades, the jumping on a train, or plane for an hour, and having an unforgettable weekend in Paris, Dublin, Rome, Edinburgh, Cardiff.
You lot don't get it, and would devalue the whole thing. No thanks.
That will be even better.

Wish the NH tours could be coordinated in such a way that, in the 3 non-RWC years each of Australia, NZ and SA get a crack at a grand slam. The last time we even had a shot at one was in 2010!
Slagging off the Lions for playing shit negative rugby is not going to insult NH rugby fans, who practically to a man were all slagging off Gatland for the Lions playing shit negative rugby.sorCrer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:04 pmGet ta fuck.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 3:32 pm Absolutely zero interest in the Boks joining the 6N.

Re 6N rugby quality
The 6N went through some bad times when Scotland were virtually as bad as Italy. As usually there was only one competitive game in a weekend to watch - except for the one weekend of the whole tournament where Scotland played Italy. But it’s generally 2 out of 3 good games now.
I think traditionally the season starts as a bit of a dire snore fest. But the rugby picks up with more excitement towards the end of the tournament as the rust fades, weather improves and winning bonus points more essential.
I omit the previous Eddie Jones England where I refer to excitement.

He famously got his face torn off by a good sportsman in South Africa.
Maybe you could educate yourself. (Toulon Nice Bourgoin) 15 caps and a 5 nation title
His encounter with the good Sportsman ended his international career.
Bit like Jeremy Davidson that you probably never heard off either.
What's your angle here. You don't want the Springboks in the Six Nations because of some previous no-name players getting injured?

He missed the part of war on the field. They all have this soccer supporter mentality of breaking anything if their team lost. Very sad.
I smell the French fear...You lot are known for this.....
But tbh.....would it rreally be a spectacle to see Northern teams rolled over again and again.....probably easier to raise the white flag beforehand

Lets be honest....there is really no point in playing against a team that is afraid.....that would just make you a bully....
Whereas making an hour long video attacking an individual, both personally and professionally, is not bullying of course.

in a recent poll I read more than half those asked feel the same way....Rassie stepped out of line and embarrassed us all.
