Six Nations wants Springbokke

[Paddington Bear]

Them joining is all but inevitable isn't it? Unions see dollar signs and there's not enough of us to sway them.

[SaintK]

Springboks beating Wales, current 6 Nations champs and full house crowds in the next two tests show how much value on quality rugby and income we will add.

And this shows how much you don’t get it I’m afraid.

Although the people that make the money decisions will probably agree

Quite. Not sure he begins to understand that all 6N matches are sell outs. FFS England even had a full house against Tonga on Saturday.
Stick to the AI's chaps. We don't want or need you in the 6N

I thought the idea was put to bed a while ago.

But still good to see some of the poms frothing at the mouth week after week

I can't believe how fertile this hunting ground has been.

[OomStruisbaai]

TRC is a done deal till 2030. Our rival want to play a test series against the Wallabies.

The 6 Nations can become 7 nations. Enough room for all of us.

Exactly. And jeez, one only has to pop into a Saffer threads to see how much they apparently enjoy digging up old bones and bickering over them. We're just being polite and giving some sympathy nibbles.

The whole issue though just makes me think of Mean Girls - "Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen"

[average joe]

People are often scared off change. If all of us thought like you guys we'll still be going around in horse and cart and bleeding people with bit of fever. Its a brave new world people, just learn to embrace it or you'll be left by the wayside .

We've embraced moving beyond stone-age rugby tactics and are attempting to actually entertain people now

You've clearly not learned about diversity and inclusiveness. Probably a left-over from your colonial past.

[OomStruisbaai]

Vok ja you lot want to play against our mean girls. I can't for the life of me watch girls playing Rugby.

Sure we have. Which is why we reject things that would drive people away.

Is that why Brexit happened and you have no truck drivers?

I'm sorry, I'm being a bit harsh on you. After all you did include easy beats Italy, who's been playing shithouse rugby for 21 years and last won a game in 2015.

Yeah, but Rome is lovely and isn't a slum

[average joe]

Ja Rome is nice. Certainly better than London and almost as nice as Pretoria but does not come close to Cape Town.

Or Bloemfontein for that matter.

The glory of Cape Town. Rome eat your heart out!

Bit disingenuous posting picks of only the bad parts. We all know all cities have bad parts.

Nice photo from fifty years ago!

Oh, you want something recent.

Meanwhile

Capetown


Pretoria

[assfly]

To be fair to Rome, it is a short flight that is quite cheap.

Can't see many fans popping to SA for the weekend.

[JM2K6]

Oh, you want something recent.

That's more like it - apparently as many as 200 people are living in those conditions, which is shameful.

How many in the cape town slums...?

[average joe]

You could visit SA for a month and never see the bad parts.

They might be living in a shanty town but take note how many satellite dishes and their streets are clean. I don't see one in my pictures of Rome and there's kak all over the place.

[Sards]

We should look at playing all our matches early afternoon in South Africa. Load shedding is here to stay.

Let's face it, Johannesburg is world standard at gun crime, murder and rape. There are even Americans who would call it excessive in Joburg.

I would love that and will hold you to it next time I’m down there. Once every 4 years or so would be enough I think

Thankyou I'm sure I would enjoy myself as much as I did when I briefly visited SA 5 years ago


Haggis

Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep (or other animal), minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal and seasoned with onion, cayenne pepper, and other spices. The mixture is packed into a sheep's stomach and boiled.

Tatties are potatoes
And a wee dram is a glass of Scotch Whisky

[OomStruisbaai]

Haggis and potatoes will be great. Dunno about the whiskey.

Our Haggis version is called Pofadder.

I love afval (tribe) which is the sheep brains, eyes, feet, tongue and stomach skin. Koningskos (Kings food).

No wonder WP Nel fit right in.

When we have load shedding at the factory the whole area is down except for Du Noon township....the ANC looks after its voters. Its hilarious driving through with speakers blaring on the streets and robots functioning yet all around them its darkness.

Joburg is a big place, you could walk through most parts and never hear a gunshot. But good on you to channel your inner AC.

I thought Cape Town held that title, anyway.
