Nearly everyone is saying the same thing in wake of Eben Etzebeth red

Then what the hell are we talking about? If he wasn't carded, how can you convince people that he was a dirty player? You sound stupid. Eben got 12 weeks, in the past, eye gouging was 6 months or more. Why has is sentence so short considering the the incident?

It comes down to what I said before, what happened that made him act that way? We are not taught to be pussies in South Africa, if someone does something crazy to you, you are going to do it back. Now you guys up north might have a difference in opinion, that’s fine but what you consider good sportsmanship might not be what I consider good sportsmanship, that’s just a cultural thing because there are no written laws for that.

Took you long enough to crawl out from under the rock, naaijill 🤣 Did you spend the time crafting your response (if you did, it was a complete waste of time) or were you practicing for Saturday afternoon on the taxi’s backseat?

We are at peak 'Bok-flation' in this Rugby World Cup cycle

P - I really don’t have the time or if I did the patience to wade through their drivel. I take someone off my Christmas Card list if they indulge in childish personal insults like DD and his alter egos. I want to read opinions about rugby not vitriol disguised as toilet humour. For that you can rely on FB. l

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

Does look like it doesn’t it, do you have a reliable place to get stats on this Nick?

From what I can find here, ARG vs ENG had 78 😲 kicks in play, only 26 of those went into touch. Of the 52 infield kicks I’m guessing at least 30 and maybe as many as 40 of those were high kicks?

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

It was fantastic wasn’t it! But I agree, the 6N has had by far the better atmosphere and tension whereas the TRC has generally had the better rugby. But this years TRC had a lot of jeopardy and the 6N teams have come on leaps and bounds since 2015, both comps really are great.

I just hope next years 6N (and by extension the rest of the WC cycle) isn’t penned in by the new laws making high balls so beneficial percentage wise that most teams adopt similar tactics. Test rugby has been so fun recently because of the clash of styles

Spain coach looks ahead to RWC pool: ‘The goal is to advance’

Bouza explained it very clearly the challenge Spain and other tier 2 conutries face. He used the word level. They will play teams in 2026 on their level, not higher. Some of their Top 14 players will compete at a high level in the Champions Cup, they and other tier 2 nations need to raise their levels consideribly. To be competitive at WC.

What written judgement said about Alex Mann's role in gouging saga

EE's retaliation was surely all that was intentional and not his attack on Mann's eye as such. If that had been his intention Mann would have been in a sorry state with clear evidence which has not been forthcoming. While retaliation was stupid and deserving of sanction there clearly was provocation and in the broader scheme of things the ban probably is excessive although a player of EE's experience should have known better.

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

100% of the problems the Sharks have is because they have a Kiwi coach and a string of coaches highly influenced by Kiwi game plans

Let me explain…

2023 was very competitive. But the last two years have been average except for the Boks, with merit mentions for England and Argentina. Next year should be better.

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

England definitely have the potential to pull it off and their trajectory is looking solid! They should now concentrate on winning away from home regularly. Lets see how the 6Ns goes…should be a decent indicator and obviously that game against the Boks in mid 2026 too.

The belief that one can pull it all off can be just as important
