You have to consider Meyers teams are beasts at altitude pretty much shocking away from home. And Australia are now at the bottom of the log facing relegation......

The moment both went to ground it became a tackle. Have you heard about the term squeeze ball? Squeeze ball is a legal tactic to secure ball and to make the gate as small as possible for people like McCaw. McCaw was offside, enter from the side and committed a piece of foul play which is...

The government wants the team 93 percent black African 7 percent other race groups. There are not millions playing rugby. The Xhosa speaking population which is the smallest out african languages mostly play rugby. So you are sitting with in fact with more other race groups playing rugby than...

Pfitzy why would SA be disadvantaged considering the Pumas had to take a player off to put on a replacement hooker. Beast of Coenie on would have made our scrum better against a inexperience Puma front row. You would note that we ran away with it later in the game. The game was played at a...

Concerning the Kiwi breakdown tactics. I notice the 3rd one to be disputed a lot and I think Joubert was spot on. Forgive for this but this is a jpeg not a gif but it shows why Joubert was spot on As you can see both 9 and 4 were in physical contact with each other over the ball. Neither...

haha no problem Mank. And you mentioned the nutrition which is actually one of the major factors. Nutrition + genes equal height. In rugby say what one will they are important because you can get killed as rugby is a contact sport all about intimidation. Survival of the fittest. Now consider...

Stats are for entertaining purposes on tv. ^Damn on Wayne for bringing out that Stormers secret. I was so enjoying having a laugh at my fellow Saffers who had all kinds of theories why the Stormers defense is so good. Yet they forget about the SA way of play. We have a good defense because...

If anyone ask you why the Stormers do not score so many tries just show them this game. People reading stats trying where did it go wrong for teams would go HUH? Rassie WTF you talking about?

No4918 compared to the opposition it was nowhere near as it should be to challenge them. I am referring to the first test and not what he is capable of. But I think his frame a bit smaller if you compare it to SMith, Pocock, McCaw and others who have bigger frames counts against him as to the...

Was referring to the thread on the first page as it said excellent Hooper. Kefu, Finegan and Smith were excellent. Hooper do about in 80 minutes what one of those did in a couple of phases back in their day. Other thing I noticed is when the AUssie locks take the ball into a ruck the ball seems...

What class for a guy to have a great game? Of forward doing a Couple of runs in open field, a pass to a back who with a bit of work to do to score and missing half of your tackles?

But a game plan won't be effective with players that have a lower work rate than the opposition doing a specific task. Considering Australia are a lot depending on a frontal assault IE the locks make carries and the hard yards and ruck clear outs if their life depends on it. For Australia to...

Compare Hooper to the Kiwi back 3 and compare the work rate? Total different class

Braveheart to be honest the whole Australian back 3 was ineffective.

And Donald on the bench?

Are they doing a WC reenactment?

Adventurous NZ you get when their playing at home and they perform not as good whne they play away and feed of teams mistakes,

you make your own luck

Oh dear Things look more positive for the Ethopian government in a recession than it look for the Bargies in the TRC IMO PS can any admin please fix my account. Something is really messed up with it. Took me over a hour just o get into this thread

Scrubber and that is EXACTLY the reason why its daft and comical. If one have watched the TRC last year one would have not the AB kick it in your half and wait for you to go pllay high risk rugby. Feeding of your mistakes. Argentina, SA and Australia all made that mistake. Thinking we are at...
