Sportmanship from the Saffa

The kind Jeff Tordeau got ?
The kind David Bory got ?

Fuck off.

The first thing we do is to congrats the winning team supporters.

It's something we grow up with. War on the field, friends off the field.

You must try it.

I'll smash your face to the price of 53 stitches ...

then I'll shake hands right ?

Sportmanship is bollox coming from a safa (or a brit for that matter)

Who is/was Jeff Tordeau?

This from a team that very recently went for an early screaming charge down on Farrell's kick

Now that's a really idiotic comparison!

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.

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 £.

we'll join it if we want to. And if we do, we will win it in our first year.

This post encapsulates exactly why you are not welcome.

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.

Jumping on the plane to South Africa, making friends, braai, eating biltong , learning the core values of rugby culture.

That will be even better.

Agree. Keep the 6N and TRC as is.

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.

That'd be cool.

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.

Seriously ? 15 caps for France

He famously got his face torn off by a good sportsman in South Africa.

His encounter with the good Sportsman ended his international career.

Bit like Jeremy Davidson that you probably never heard off either.

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.

Well Laporte is French and he want us desperately in the 6 Nations.
