Who’s this turkey?
THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final
He was carded on this years super rugby final. He’s be favourite after Barrett
WORLD VIEW: 'Disgrace'- strange slap for Boks coaches after 'beautifully ugly' 'shambles' of a World Cup final
Better than just being losers outright.

Wallabies to the second tier in 24? Such a great side. Great coach too. ‘We dumped Rennie because we were concerned we would t qualify’ 😂

Ozzie’s didn’t qualify. We can see why. Their thinking about the game is muddled. There should be a children’s page for them. 😂

ABs scored a try that was pulled back for a play on the other side of the field and four rucks back. As far as I’m aware the law says two. Boks kicked a penalty AFTER Barnes apologised for it after seeing a clean clear out that ardie protested.
De Groot had his nose broken with a stiff arm but ‘falling on a foot’ is yellow carded because it hurt?
Those the points you’re talking about?

Yes it is when you change the goalposts when your last point is blown out of the water.m. 😂

His comment that Oz would win the World cup after losing to Fiji combined with the awful season was confirmation that he had no idea where his team stood in the pecking order and you can’t just hurl out false positives just because you havent lost yet. I don’t think it was so much a plan that failed but his inability to assess his sides skills and abilities in comparison with what’s out there which is even stranger having just come from the NH environment where everything’s on the up.
A hard nosed practical coach is required, not a seasoned media globe trotting one. In that respect I think you’d have seen a much better Oz side if Rennie had been able to continue this year, and its a shame he never got his shot, not that I think it would be much different, but I think they’d have by now a more progressive side with things to build on.
Fiji could still lose to Georgia in any case.
Eddie Jones should be celebrated not booed: Why the worst thing RA could do is sack the Wallabies coach
Fozzies free. 😂
'Complete dismantling': Eddie apologises for World Cup debacle, Hoops calls out moment that summed it up
yep looking rather sad with no easy fix in sight. ten years ago and before you’re never getting the SH3 all losing to their NH pool sides, no chance. NH rugby from all sorts of angles is pointing far higher than the south. Better player and coaching base, better crowd support, facilities, resources, salaries. The fragmentation we’ve had in Super rugby, our covid impacts were more severe as the NH played through with cardboard crowds etc…its not an Aussie rugby problem so much as a northern progression positive. The rugby’s bigger, faster, better.

Sexton was there last time. Having seen Ireland struggle to get thru 9 quarters is telling. Bn there bro. Every one.
10 fearless predictions for the 2023 Rugby World Cup: Boks, Ireland to miss semis as Wallabies to make last four
Yeah it will be. Really looking forward to it. Beaudy Barrett fan and I think he’s the one to ignite the freeze stages.

Grew up with Pacific Islanders in the 70’s in South Auckland- paradise- Manu is the first PI I ever heard with an english accent. Man it was surreal…

Yep and we’ll keep saying that until IRELAND change that perception… which is fair. Hi ya Jacko!

I know it’s just a nuisance.
Hi ya mate 👍

Ireland because they’ve lost at quarter every single time. They were world number one last cup and were trounced quarters. The pressure will thrash them come quarter time. Media, fans. It will make them doubt themselves when they need to thrive. Knockout World Cup pressure is REAL.

They didn’t win the championship. So in that respect it was a throwaway. ABs have a knack of losing matches they don’t get trophies for. All the trophies on offer this year are locked away. Not bad for a poor team.

Yeah that was embarrassing and un- AB like. Times have changed. And for me Graeme Henry’s mantra was real. The greatest rugby coach of all time set the standard that has now been watered down to ‘now the pressures off us’ after that match. Made me wanna puke.

My partner told me to write that. 😱
RWC News: Eddie turns screw on ref, claims Wallabies' 'huge pack can dominate World Cup'
Most top sides rest in pool play. Unfortunately that’s when they need rest least.
SPIRO ZAVOS: The best team in the tournament, not necessarily the best team, will win the 2023 RWC
Yep. We only get one tough pool match each comp anyway and with Les froggies seeming to think we’re easybeats for tomorrow that for me means they’ll get beaten. Happened last comp. Boks lost, won final. But then we sit in the doldrums for a month with scant comp from Italy. We’ve been burnt too many times under foster so an upset won’t surprise either. Just don’t think we have the pack, leadership through the spine anymore.

Oh got bit bored with rugby during covid and after but glad to see it’s making a bit of a come back. N.Z Rugbys having its suckiest years in a long time and I can’t see them winning this.
Stage fright. We suffer from it big time. Long periods of doing nothing when we can only win with expansive rugby. It’s littered through our exits, half hour to an hour of doing nothing.
I see that happening here. Hype and expectation plus 3-4 weeks of playing lower level sides means after France we arrive at knockouts not knowing who our big match form players are. Boks or France for me. Expecting some PI upsets early on too.
Oz? Have no idea what’s happening there lately…bit sad to see.

Boks three wins were all borne from non faves at the start of the last 8. Draw, others beating others and the Mandela factor squeezed them over the line three times. 😁

Not from what I’m hearing. Barnes and the TMzo have ironically saved both Foz and Cane, who aren’t being blamed.
