Broken promises, sacrificial lambs and a monumental low blow - goodbye, good riddance to 2023 for Wallabies fans
Oh and what’s your thoughts on Hanekom? Came out of nowhere but seems to have jumped the queue for Boks next no 8. Having a great season and looks like he combines reading of the game with dirty work and flair. Great combo and let’s hope he keeps developing.

So true. That Bulls pack could potentially have a few future Boks.
While we’re on locks – I wonder if Jenkins and Schickerling are on the radar? Good age atm.
Actually blessed for talent in SA. That Lions team has a few running around too.
Thanks Harry. Always enjoy your writing.

It came late, but “Eddie ‘Sumasshu Gurabu’ Jones” might be the best thing I’ve read all year.
Onwards and upwards for the Wallabies from here.
I’m interested to see what Rassie does with the Boks. There will likely be new faces over the next two years.

I think in the right playing structures he’s world class. Can’t say that about many other Wallabies players.

Lots to like about this team but does it beat the B&I Lions?
Think you’d be mad not to select Kerevi. Simply a player you can build playing structures around and his partnership with Ikitau was a highlight.
The forwards combinations need to be considered in line with playing style. There’s always a need for an on-the-ball specialist but I’m not sure McReight offers enough.
I love Swinton. Just think he’s got something you can’t coach, and something that’s sorely lacking in the Wallabies. He has to improve his accuracy though.
Other players worth keeping an eye on; Gamble, Gleeson and Edmed, but they all need to step it up this year.
Have the ARU never considered offering a couple hard hitting South African forwards passports?? Shake a tree over there and those types of players fall out.

The question is….would you have won with 15? 😁 😛
The World Cup Wrap: France 2023 got a final befitting the host nation - imperfect, baffling and historic
Amazing wrap up Geoff. I remember the one you did after the 2019 final and that was a cracker too! Can’t believe we’re four years down the track! Anyway for almost a decade of my life the Boks will be world champs. Crazy. Lucky.

Cheers Piru. Your guys were excellent and could have won with 14.

THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final
As in the literal rules of World Rugby

The rules are clear. Mitigation is a factor. Kolisi was literally bent in half at the hips so dropping.

Legacy vs ego: The Springboks are playing for South Africa, the All Blacks are playing for themselves
Rain forecast which might impact how the game is played somewhat but here’s hoping for a classic!

Aaron Smith will probably milk an offside penalty as per usual. 😛

Excellent Bok coaching team. Lot’s of good things happening across SA teams. Players coming back. Some old heads involved in upskilling local players.
Boks to do the threepeat. You heard it here first. 😛
