    Proposed law changes - 2024 edition

    They should watch Rugby League. The only way the scrum law would work is if they made it clear that any team deliberately conceding free-kicks at the scrum would be penalised and players given yellow cards.

    The decline of Australian rugby. Is there a way out?

    Australian Rugby Union needs a strong Professional League below Super Rugby. A bit like the NPC in New Zealand and the Currie Cup in South Africa. Even Argentina has the Top 13, although I am not sure that is professional. I think that would really help, but not sure how feasible it is.

    The decline of Australian rugby. Is there a way out?

    Watching the URC this weekend the Bulls sold out a 50K stadium so I think Rugby in South Africa is reasonably popular

    If Italy had converted the try Australia would be 10th in the world rankings.

    Northern dominance?

    Akker and Coenie have moved back to South Africa. I imagine their children would rather play for the Boks. Although it is nice to have options.

    2027 Squads

    I think Lood De Jager will want to go to 2027 and he is a year younger than Eben. I also wonder if Am/Kriel and Esterhuizen will want to play in 2027 as they will be 33/34 Players seem to be fitter these days and can go longer.

    [RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

    I thought the Boks were shockingly bad, but it is a sign of a great team to grind out wins when you are playing badly.

    How did South Africa steal that?

    [RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

    I don't think Rassie would allow it, but the Boks need to avoid the mentality that all they have to do is turn up. If they do that they will lose.

    [RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

    This will not be the walkover that many people think. I still think that South Africa will win but it will be by about 8.

    [RWC2023] Ireland vs Scotland (07/10/2023)

    It would also be too obvious. No one is going to risk their careers for one match

    [RWC2023] Ireland vs Scotland (07/10/2023)

    Disagree with this. I enjoy watching the South African teams in the URC

    [RWC2023] Ireland vs Scotland (07/10/2023)

    Match fixing is unlikely as it is a criminal offence. If proven beyond reasonable doubt people will go to prison and be banned for life. As well as kicked out tournament. If proved on balance of probabilities, then kicked out of the tournament and given lengthy bans.
