what a joke of an article
Why astute cricket analysts cannot call the Kiwis the best in the business
You know nothing about Maori culture. What an absolute clown
The haka's increasing importance
This isnt comming from the All Blacks you drop kick.
Disrespectful? Ireland fans' musical reaction to the haka causes a stir
One team? Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, New Zealand. Increasingly theatrical? they are doing a haka in the manner in which haka is performed. Not sure why your so triggered

Calm down cupcake. No one is claiming the AB’s are above the rules of rugby. How you relate this to the laws of rugby is a bit of a head-scratcher. This article is not written by a New Zealander, those that voice disapproval were not New Zealanders, so stop being outraged by ignorant people that are being outraged on behalf of the All Blacks.

This is one of those – ‘Tell me you no very little about rugby without telling me you know very little about rugby’ posts.

Playing professionally in South Africa is not an attractive option for many foreign players. You act like the lack of foreign players in SA is due to the integrity of South Africa rugby (LOL the irony) but really it’s because players generally choose to play in more lucrative markets and would much rather live in countries that have a higher standard of living.

As a New Zealander, I wouldn’t be flexing too much over this win. Namibia had the Blackcaps sweating in the early overs of both innings.

Good to see the Tongan Jesus is willing to come back and save rugby.
'Divine intervention': The World Rugby rule change that could bring Israel Folau back to Test rugby
From the World Rugby Laws of Rugby website: “A player must not intentionally knock the ball forward with hand or arm. Sanction: Penalty.” Essentially if the referee thinks a player deliberately incurs a penalty in order to illegally stop a play that has a good chance of leading to a try a yellow card should be given. Mitigating factors for Barrett:
* Occurred at the halfway mark
* Two cover players
* It was an attack play by Barrett as opposed to just swatting the ball away.
We have seen this type of play get yellow carded however I feel genuine intercept attempts are being called deliberate knock ons when they shouldnt be.

Disagree. BLM at its core is about opposing the racism that is levelled at black communities. If a player is uneasy about opposing racism then they deserve all the backlash they get. At the heart of all racism is ignorance and De Kock’s motives are dripping with ignorance. Nothing is stopping a player from clarifying their position if their decision to take a knee is questioned. Its always the holier than thou hypocrites that want to make a fuss.

The ignorance around BLM is astounding. BLM as stated on the BLM website:
“is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives” …
BLM is about eradicating white supremacy, opposing violence against black communities and trying to create better lives for black communities that have traditionally had a much low quality of life. The amount of “AlL LiVeS MaTteR” posters is unnerving.

What a joke of a comment. If he represented Australia the Aussie pundits would have run out of superlatives for Benji. Wasnt the most consistent but at his peak, he was the best player the world has ever seen. Compare his highlight reel to any great or “immortal” and there is daylight between Benji and the rest.
Is Benji Marshall the best Kiwi rugby league player ever?
On current form, the Springboks look like they need it much more. 5 losses in one year.

Yeah but your team got pumped by the wallabies……twice.

What a self-saucing comment ……. not surprising for an Australian

Actually, that’s bad form from me. I’m turning into the trolls that I despise
Should water carriers stick to water carrying?
Apparently, the All Blacks are the cheats of World Rugby. Using steroids, making whinge videos and using support staff to harass officials must be fair game.

It’s constantly happening. Every time a call doesn’t go the Springboks way yhier fans are on the internet screaming bloody murder

Of course not mate. It’s a small percentage of fans that blame the ref. Unfortunately these fans are overrepresented on social media

Huh? what do you base the feeling that the kiwis want to blame the Ref? The hypocrisy coming from an Australian.

Pretty hard to stand out in the Springbok pack when every player is world-class.
