Awesome game to watch. Both teams put on a show second to none. The crowd must have been very impressed with the speed of the game. Soldier Stadium almost sold out... World rugby couldn't really have asked for more! These two teams meet again on 19 November in Dublin - the big question is; can...

Looking at the final score of the 2016 RC; the question that started this thread has to be answered in two parts. 1. Yes the AB's are that good. You don't win by the margins they've consistently won by, if you're not that good. Even opponents found wanting are going to get lucky and catch you...

It's the South African way. Promote a person to his/her level of incompetence and then hire a sub-contractor to do the job... Who cares about wasteful expenditure, we're a rich country... Not! :mad:

The outcome of this indaba vindicates Meyer and Mallets no-show. Yes you can draw positives from the indaba, much like Coetzee drew positives from the loss to Argentina, but real change will only come about without political interference - and the fact that Roux has been booted, but Stick is...

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: my sides hurt...

...former Springbok coaches and players. Bugger! Does that include Peter de Villiers and Rudolf Straeuli..?:eek:

I read on News 24 today, that one of the things they're going to discuss, is 'alignment within South African rugby'. Does this mean a convergence of styles played around the country with a 'standard operating procedure' relating to player conditioning and training. I know Brendon Venter is...

Yup, can't argue with that..

Make no mistake - I'm not here to defend quotas, or the government’s interference in sport. I rate them (quotas and government interference) as low as BEE, which I consider to be a form of ethnic cleansing. I mean where else in the world does a government elected by the majority have policies...

To a certain degree, yes.

All Blacks by +25. I just can't see Australia mounting any kind of challenge.

Guys, you can bemoan into our quota dilemma as much as you like, but its not the reason we're in the trouble we're in. I see the cause of our poor performance as such: 1. No continuity at coaching level. 2. We hang onto out of form and aging players for way too long. 3. We play our fit players...

Ok, so I might be pushing my luck here - and I know you refer specifically to emulating NZ, but Eddie Jones learned the way the Boks play and took that knowledge to Japan. He trained them to beat the Boks, not by taking us on at the breakdown, or in the set pieces. He knew Japan could never beat...

Ons weet hoekom Ashwin daar is. Dit, en sy rugby kennis is nie te sleg nie. Hy het dit toe uiteindelik reggekry om die wood Sharks as Sharks uit te spreek in plek van Saaaaaks...

I hear you... and agree with you but for one reason. With the exception of Newlands, we're no longer filling our stadiums at provincial and Super Rugby games - finals excluded. For me personally, the best games of our local season, have traditionally been against the Sharks, but more recently...

South Africa's challenge with the defensive kicking game, lies in the location of two very successful provincial unions, namely the Bulls and the Lions. Both these unions are located at 1800m (6000 ft) above sea level and it was nothing for the flyhalves in the 1970's and 80's to be slotting...

What's Gone Wrong...? Hi guys, I've been lurking in the shadows of your forum for some time now and really enjoy the level of conversation that abounds. So after the Springboks humiliating defeat last night, I decided to register, to not only show my appreciation for the level of humility...
