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

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

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"

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

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.

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

Posted: **Mon Nov 08, 2021 6:30 pm**

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.
