They’re not untouchable, per se.

It’s more that nobody’s allowed to touch them and they can touch anyone they like.

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

I don’t think that should be the choice P.

When SA fitst intro’d the 7-1 v NZ in 2023 thay had Reinach as the one on the bench to cover 9 and both wings, and Willemse to move up from 15 to cover 10.

Kane James plays for Bath and he wants to play for Wales, so it does work both ways.

Exactly my point of view. SA player, no footage but guilty and banned.

I bet if this was a SA player the committee would have found the necessary footage for a disciplinary action.

He gets 12 weeks, James Ryan gets 2 weeks for flying over a ruck into a player’s head. Which one of the two incidents had excessive force? Yes very lenient…

Sharks name B-team for French giants as Plumtree exit fast-tracked

From the few Sharks’ matches I've bothered to watch on TV it was way past time Plumtree - like White eventually did at the Bulls - pushed off. Definitely yesterday's men who just haven't worked out the best way to play rugby, as exhibited by the genius Rassie. Thank heavens for Dobbo down here in Cape Town who seems to have followed the Boks’ example and is winning, like last night in Bayonne. As an ex-season ticket holder at King's Park it’s embarrassing to see how far they've gone down the tube but at least the Stormers - and hopefully the Bulls and the Lions - can give us some SA sides that might be doing better in the EPCR than previously.

Can they just lend all their good players to the other SA teams until they get their house in order?

Nothing happened, so it will go on record nothing happened until nothing happens again?
