Why Rassie will be happier than Rennie with early omens of Greatest Rivalry tour

Why Rassie will be happier than Rennie with early omens of Greatest Rivalry tour

It’s going to be very hard for Tosi to go against Ox, he would be better off the bench against Steenekamp. The AB’s just need to find a way of getting parity in the scrums, otherwise it’s going to be a tough few tests.

The locks and loose forwards are as good as New Zealand has had

I liked the jacomb cameo. Sure it was a beaten team but he slotted in confidently. And preston was impressive. Agree he seemed to just have a bit on ratima.

Great player - I remember when he went to Leicester and they had Kronfield, Neil Back & Lewis Moody as their 3 x 7’s - what a squad that team had back then. 🤣

To be honest Spew, I always thought being held up over the line (goal kick drop out) was overly generous to the defence - when you put this together with the latest laws on swimming from the side and dragging down the maul together, they have a fairer balance to them and finally start to feel what should have been addressed together.

The period in between them both has been very clumsy and overly generous to the defence, which they are trying to redress.

The ABs defence in broken plays is fast, will be rude awaken for Sacha and Mannie who aren’t fast to release the ball.

'Bit unfair': Bulls boss Johan Ackermann's vow before All Blacks clash

As much as the bulls are a pro team, I think they just need to do their best, but they are a bit of a stepping stone for the more important test matches to come with the springboks. I gotta hand it to the stormers though, that match was too close for my all blacks fan liking 😬

Maybe trying to make sure Hannekom doesn’t get windgat after one good game? Jasper has had a lot of good games for the Boks.

No issues with the fans from other parts of the motu, I expect them to get parochial about things. Just not a fan of closed shops at the top of the tree.

Well they did have to send a squad to Argentina and had about 10 players coming back from injury.

All Blacks attack finds dangerous rhythm late in Sharks rout

I love my warriors but a huge part of their popularity is they are the only kiwi team

and everyone gets in behind them becsuse we love trying to stick it up the Aussies at their own sport! Haha their crowds and support are something to be cherished and they are part of a wind change down here as people in general are wanting to go enjoy live sport for the experience..

There was too much northern bias over the years that does not endear me to NZR. It makes it easier to watch the ABs.

Ok may be that’s the answer - play Currie cup teams - get the crowds along and ABs play their dirt trackers. I know we would love that in NZ too.

Let me guess you think referees have got it in for the All Blacks. You certainly wouldn’t be the first person to think this and you definitely won’t be the last! Maybe they should play to the referees interpretation not the other way around then they will have more luck. They should also realize that this is not Super rugby and nothing is going to change that probably ever.

Because you like rugby. Because you want to see one the most iconic teams of all time in action. Its not always about my team if they are winning. NZ should be a crowd puller otherwise how can you call SAfricans fans of rugby.

Seems a bit crazy to me that the Boks have almost as many in the squad as the ABs. The ABs are on tour and have to play midweek matches, so there's a need to carry extra bodies in the squad to handle that. There's no need for the Boks to carry that many players to cover test matches, and it robs the provincial sides of roughly 10 high quality players that could be playing the AB midweek games.
