Thanks Biltong.

South Africa teams ready tackle European rugby elite

Does anyone know where to watch the Heineken Cup in Australia?

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Foley returns at No.10 as Rennie makes EIGHT starting XV changes for Bledisloe opener

KPOL, I understand your sentiments but disagree with the narrative that it was Mapimpi who instigated the handbags.

When Mapimpi scored the try he wanted to get up and celebrate but Marika held on to his shirt, pulling him down. With the recent history between the 2, Mapimpi reacted as expected and chaos ensued.

This just shows that MK is still the best wing in the world. Even after conceding a try, he orchestrated a yellow out of thin air.

Watching league makes me think that someone made a sport out of practice drills.

Is it too late to reverse rugby's long decline?

I would love to see an aggregated DYI rating for the year, like a people’s choice 15. Could be interesting.

Wallabies DIY player ratings from the Wales Test: The results

I wasn’t comparing the 2. I was merely pointing out that he jumped on the bandwagon criticising Rassie and boom… couple of days later fell off.
Jonker is a good guy and his family doesn’t deserve this.

Lots of unintended compliments to South Africa in this piece. England played very well, yet Boks almost snuck it in the end.

Great article Oliver!
I’m hoping for an encore from Ireland and Argentina.
6 Nations are Leading the Rugby Championship 7-5 in this autumn series.
If you remove Italy and an under strength Wales(vs NZ) from the results, the score is 7-2.
Is it time to start talking about NH dominance?

Congratulations Bob, England were the best team this autumn series.
The gap between the top 8 teams is very narrow. I believe that even between the top 20 teams the gap is narrowing, which is great news for rugby.

The Bok fan is not normal: Why everything rides on this battle with England

I looked it up, he got convicted of assault. His sentence was 1 month jail time or R10000 fine. He paid the fine which at the time converted to about $2000.

Townsend accuses Eramus of 'sledging' Scotland player during water boy duties

Nobody said the pot-belly jerk was a hero. He received a lifelong ban from attending any rugby match in South Africa.
What more do you want them to do?
I saw plenty of pitch invaders recently, none of them South African.
Rassie is being dealt with by WR.
And Townsend will soon realise what happens when you wrestle with pigs.

Townsend accuses Eramus of 'sledging' Scotland player during water boy duties

I remember in one game the waterboy telling the opposition captain to take a walk, they don’t need him here, when the captain wanted to ask the ref a question.

“That’s a brave boy Gregory, now show me on this doll where Rassie touched you.”

Townsend accuses Eramus of 'sledging' Scotland player during water boy duties

I wouldn’t call Townsend a mongrel, sure he is kicking a man while he’s down but it’s been a tough year for the bloke.
And yes he did imply that saying someone can’t catch a ball is a character assassination, but give the guy a break. Shees!

Much more stoppages and waterboy antics in the Ireland/NZ game than Scotland/SA game on the weekend.

That’s very good Ferret, now see if you can read the next line.

Townsend accuses Eramus of 'sledging' Scotland player during water boy duties

Yeah but it’s not like they faked injuries with blood tablets or bugged the opponents hotel.
They won’t directly criticise a referee again. People like Eddie Jones, Cheika and even Rennie need to be more careful in future.
The way to exert influence is the do your talking indirectly through the media a la Warren G.

Everyone saw the video, nothing in it. Rassie got his punishment, should be the end of it.

Let’s move on to more pertinent questions like will Nic Berry be available for the Reds next year?

You have to feel sorry for this Farrell kid. He finally has an opportunity to showcase his talents and prove he is not all hype and then this happens. Poor kid.
I get the feeling that if he is given enough time he could develop in to one of Englands best players.

Farrell faces 12 weeks out after ankle op

Will he be able to attend Saturday’s match since he is appealing?
