'We are the fix' - How the Sharks can regain their bite to build a dynasty

I get your argument, but I am not sure I agree. Plum played for the sharks for 10 years - probably beyond 80% of his fine playing career - and won the Currie Cup twice as a player.

He then won the Currie Cup 3 more times as a coach. More impressively, his first win as coach was in his first season in 2008, where he was appointed as a bit of a hail-mary, with the Sharks last winning the cup in Plum's own playing days way back in 1996. That's a long dry-spell. For the achievement, he won coach-of-the-year in SA. He does understand SA rugby's DNA, plus his international experience, which is only a benefit. He himself was a particularly abrasive player and great to watch.

Bath produce standout Champions Cup performance against Munster

That was very impressive from Bath, they were the best team by far and were simply fitter and stronger than Munster throughout.

It’s pretty clear that Munsters loss is Bath’s gain and this really showed what they missed by letting JvG go.

Gutsy Leicester Tigers fall to Ronan O'Gara's La Rochelle

The yellow card for Leicester was absolute crap. Is he supposed to cut his legs of when he jumps. If you run under a player while they are taking the ball in the air you might find a foot coming down on top of you. The knee was close on 90 degrees not straight.

How England are building the foundations for World Cup success in 2027

You did, actually. “Have England Suddenly Become a ‘Lucky’ Team” was a decent article, but the comments were a different story.

You said, in reply to Tom: “It’s the Leicester influence that Borthers has never truly shrugged off. Kick 35+ times per game, no more than two phases in your own half etc. I just don’t feel it’s well adapted to the ppl England has available.”

'It's crazy': All Black midfielder celebrates first Champions Cup performance

Super reception for him. An open mind is what Leinster need. He played well in this 20 min cameo and his threat and pace created a lot of room for others.

His first touch was a 5 metre scrum: Leinster just passed it out to him and let him have a go against some backs. He landed a metre short but Leinster got there after a few recycles.

Bulls player ratings vs Bordeaux | Investec Champions Cup 2025/26

Bulls were outstanding in the first half. I had to leave in the second (to go to Aviva to watch Leinster) but BB had scored a try back against 14 and obviously built on that.

This looks like the year that SA teams will break into the knock outs of this competition. You could get a sense of the Bulls fans and players starting to get the love for the great tournament. They will probably lament not building on their incredibly efficient first half.

How England are building the foundations for World Cup success in 2027

I’m pretty sure I never said any such thing about the box-kicking strategy but I can find articles predicting England would split France and Ireland in the 6N table. And suggesting exactly the two front rows they are fielding now. And lauding the three sevens policy ahead of the orthodox B/R all the papers [and you probably] were putting forward in the autumn. And praising Tommy Freeman’s aerial ability and saying he and IFW were certainties to go on tour down under!

I also understand that Test coaches will not dump experience as readily as you seem to think. England already have five excellent choices at centre [inc Freeman] and it will be hard for any newbie to break into that top echelon. Maybe Atkinson is good enough to do it in 2026, who knows? But it is not the childs play it appears to those who only pick teams on paper.
