SAFFA humour at its finest :)

Petal. What have you been watching?

Always rated him. However, this is not the Tonga defense. If he can keep those numbers against SA I'll be the first to acknowledge that he is currently the best. There is a subtle change in our defense over the last few weeks. We either flood the breakdown or let them play and rush. Will be...

The game will be won or lost based on whether Ireland can counter the forward onslaught. Really simple. Find a way to get near parity at the breakdown and a way to unlock the rush defense and Ireland wins. No need to guess how we will play.

7/1 bench like against NZ

Who said we're were favorites? Nobody thinks that. Every other forum or SA news site acknowledges that this was a very weak Welsh side. All the SA supporters I know think we are really up against it. My prediction is we are out in the quarters. I also predict that we lose against Scotlnd and...

This is a VERY difficult pool. Fiji and Georgia will be well up for it. Look out.

The squads are not official until 1 September. If that fails. Just beat up one of the little guys. Who needs 4 anyway?

Pollard reported running at full pace and taking full contact in training. Great news as it is plain to see that Libbok has great potential but he is not ready.

As a Saffa I am very worried about Scotland. I'd say it's 50/50. Scotland need to get off to a flyer and make us play catch up. That;s their best chance. We will want to suck them into a dirty arm wrestle from the outset. What a well coached side they are.

Pollard would have made zero difference in that test. Our forward got blown away in the first half. Our collision accuracy was abysmal, and we were off the pace in every facet. No flyhalf fixes that. But with No Pollard and Am we are not defending the title. He also picked four scrummies...

Pollard out of the competition. Pity. He was in almost his best form for Leicester. This gives the Boks a chance to see if Libbok can step up to this level. Calling in Jantjes as a backup is a massive step backwards. I would rather have had a 40-year-old Ruan Pienaar who is playing excellent...

Y'all fired that guy.

you need one less team and you need to beat the Kiwis more than they beat you. it will be like magic

Out! Out! You dirty rotten Saffa. We can tolerate Saffas here, but ones that want to take sound business decisions? Nice try. Off you go buddy. This is OUR boy's club.

Abysmal planning at prop will be at the core of an average season for the Tahs. It's been the same story for a few years now. Awful prop stocks. Why is there zero planning? We see these Super rugby wannabees being cycled in and out, year after year. Other than Bell's recent entry to the scene...

Are those the only 2 TH props in the Tahs squad? A kid that looks way out of his depth and a journeyman. Is Holmes still around? Good in the loose but below-average scrummager. Got his head shoved up his bum week in week out last year. This scrum is going to get murdered by the kiwi teams. It...

If you win the bledisloe I'll eat my own bollocks.

Oh well that's cleared up then. No need to coach. One meeting. "Australian style boys. Make sure you stay fit and see you on the plane to Paris."

This is mental. But curious to see what game plan he goes for. His England game plan was designed around a dominant pack and attrition. It came unstuck when the other pack would not lie down and clobbered his team at the gain line (SA, Argie this year, NZ this year in the first half, Ireland...
