Is the serious injuries and fatalities increasing or has it decreased since the game went professional?

Look at this. This is kids! Professional athletes are entertainers, and they use a promotional and heroic rhetoric that presents images of revenge, retaliation, hate, hostility, intimidation, aggression, violence, domination, and destruction. These melodramatic images attract attention and...

Its the same referee with the same interpretation. The post I replied to mentions incidents of previous games so how come I get the lecture when really asking to go look at previous games and say how Joubert interpret the scum. He is neutral so he will not look for one teams specific...

Wheeling is legal. The whip wheel is illegal. But I like to know. When a scrum was designed. What was the purpose? When they push against each other what was the original idea to happen? All the laws prevent that now.

Its not the ethics of rugby? Players to try and break other peoples arms, strangling of another. When money is involved ethics pretty much fly out the window. Rugby is still relatively new to professionalism. But you can see the hunt for more money like all other sports is starting to set in...

We are not thin on scrum halves. We have heaps of them. Its just the way we play and the need for certain skill set that is the problem. Instead we just accept the inevitable and change the way we play and change the structures and try something new. Now our effectiveness is dependent on...

lol Don't think a autopsy will say head injury. It will state the brain trauma. But then again its classed as a mild injury to the brain. Why all of a sudden have all the concussion worry started flaring up? I mean it sums up pretty much how stupid the IRB or whoever is in charge of the laws...

^I would like to see Serfontein at 13

yeah that was for only a part of the staduim. Kings had the same going on Reminds me of inter schools

^So last week against the Bulls joubert were absolutely correct in awarding the penalties to the Brumbies in the scrum because they won. Now that they lost Joubert is completely wrong?

R20? lol when did you last watch rugby in SA? And your second point. Exactly!

How many people died already because of concussions? Stats anyone?

60 000 people filled the stadium how many watched the Super Rugby final?

^I would ask were it turned over by the wheeling or the 9 not using it when available. Joubert have no obligation to yell use it. The Chiefs got 100's of tricks up their sleeve http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pWfoE0qYAE0 Latimer does that a lot if they can get away...

Penalize the cause not the symptom For example If the loosehead walks around the tighthead, the tighthead will have to break his bind and bring his arm to his chest to protect his ribs. The loosehead has to “leave” his hooker and you will note that the loosehead is “shearing off” and his...

Dominance gain by legal or illegal scrumming?

Is a fetcher in the game so important to a team who prefers less possession, territorial advantage and minimizing risk? Look at Super Rugby a center is the turnover King with a fetcher distant seconds with 8 less turn overs

Our game is so much dependent on a 9 that can kick with accuracy to create space in the back field that Meyer had no choice. Under Meyer do not expect much away victories. He set his team up for home games. Where Jake White tended to set it up for away games. You can see a bit of that rubbed...

I notice bollocks grabbing and such maximum is higher than eye gouging. So its seen as a more serious offense than eye gouging? A schoolboy from Noord-Kaap High School got a 80 week ban for punching and then head butting a player from Waterkloof High School. News 24 reported the incident as...
