RFU overseas player rule gets the backing of PREM boss

NZ don’t pick players from all over the planet. Their rule is quite similar to England’s, bar the sabbaticals.

Argentina don’t have a domestic competition that can in any way, shape or form be compared to the Prem.

All Blacks turn to fresh bodies with seven changes for Springboks finale

Tbh PB its a bit of a bugbear I have with NZ rugby. Ive watched a guy like Z Sullivan be an amazing 10 at junior level and basically get no chance at SR level due to Perofeta, BB and Plummer ffs. Even today I watched our U20 10 playing 15 ( Simpson) and I wonder do our 10s develop.

Ok it was my opinion. There is more focus on a 10 than a forward.

Jake White: My glaring concern hanging over the Boks before decider

Everyone likes to be PC and not call out the obvious. The 1st 2 games could have been officiated better and there would have been better results.

But at the end of the day it's just a game and these matches become distant memories where we don't really care after some time.

The only pundits with such strong views probably never played sport. Certainly not professionally. Full stop.

Who will be the URC signings of the season?

Benson sounds like a very astute signing by Ulster. Good start up there and Andy Farrell may take him in for a closer look.

Interesting article.Jamie. I will follow Edward Sigauke’s progress with interest. I have a special interest in Zimbabwe and it’s rugby, having coached the game there…many years ago now. Great we will see Edward in Australia for RWC in 2027.

'What is said outside doesn’t really matter': Kolisi ahead of All Blacks

This is such a ridiculous article - there isn’t a single pundit or supporter that loves rugby who think the Boks didn't deserve their wins. The whole point of the greatest rivalry is that it’s two different styles of rugby and who can execute better. Cynical article - this is one of the greatest rugby teams to ever have done it. Full stop.

I have to agree. That statement is either hyperbole or taking the p*ss. Six games into their contract, after inheriting a, ummm, dysfunctional setup, it is way too early for wild, sweeping statements.

The Kennedy Tsimba shift series part three: Willie le Roux on the art of adaptability

likewise the Saffer teams were playing the much stronger kiwi teams. Those “practically test matches” were between teams who hadn't won Super Rugby since 2010.

I find the claims that from an on field rugby point of view South Africa are better and us worse because they left SR poorly thought through. When South Africa left they were already number one and us number two - exactly where we are now!

Correct.

If Jordan had of come first, perhaps it would be BB that was on the right wing.

His glaring concern is that nobody asked him his opinion. So gave it.

The South African pandering to the non-South Africans, to get clicks and maybe a job offer outside of South Africa, trope.

You been on the Shiraz this early on a Saturday morning Graham? Nearly all the 23 from last week played Super Rugby!

Whereas most of our 23 haven't played a single Super Rugby game against a South African team.
