Best thing to happen will be the government pulling out the whole country. This whole thing is so past its sell by date it isn't even funny.

Mattie Johns, is that you?

Stephen Moore at first receiver is really not a good idea.

What game? Lawn bowls?

That is indeed what a small fringe call those who have chosen to move overseas. Honestly have not come across of much of it for a long time. Harmless. Article 10 indeed.

Delusion is dangerous. You need to get that checked.

Now Paarl. You need to grow some thinking flaps. Why would one swap one shit, fucked up, self serving, incompetent, delusional, naval gazing, self-obsessed, inward focused, politically motivated, poorly administered, low crowd-numbered, badly marketed and out of touch with reality system for...

Ackerman gone by all accounts. That's a disaster for The Lions and South African rugby. He is the ONLY world-class coach currently coaching in South Africa. Most are unproven (du Preez) or pretenders (Fleck, Marais). All just adds to the rapid decline of SA rugby.

Agreed. It will never be perfect. Have to start somewhere though. Things will be missed and sometimes players will get off but on the whole it will cause players to be mindful, coaches spending more time on technique to avoid the players getting carded and on balance it will be a positive outcome.

Last year that would have been a yellow card at most. This year the rules are clear. Even in the 6N there have been some cards that looked marginal and would have been penalties last year at most. All in all a good directive and the players will adjust. It is designed to protect players which...

Sounds like you know something. Care to elaborate?

Right go convince the broadcasters. Then help the broadcasters come up with a deal that all the Unions will accept. We'll all wait patiently. If the numbers could work this would have happened already. NZ says they want to play SA teams regularly but if they are given the same money...

And keep pissing up a tree in VIC. Great. For what, a couple of thousand fans? That is literally what it is. Let's not kid ourselves. The Rugby horse didn't bolt out of Melbounre, it never really visited (sorry Rebel fans but you are like the last outpost in a city of giants.) Chasing an...

When last did the ARU listen to the mob? They listen to the broadcasters. That's it.

Right. Broadcasters will just love that.

The Brumbies cannot be axed. History must carry a lot of weight, and the Brumbies have a lot of that. I don't think anyone on their right mind will axe the Ponies over the Rebels surely?

No worries was not looking for an apology but thanks anyhow :)

PS I also love how people just willy nilly suggest that The Lions and Bulls or Lions and Cheetahs should merge. 4 teams there we go. Right then let's merge the Reds and the Tahs if mergers are they way to go. While we're at it let's lump the Brumbies and the Rebels together and there we go. 3...

Free ride from who? The Aus media? Most Australian rugby journalists can't even name the 5 SA teams let alone pinpoint where they are located on a map. So having an opinion is generally limited to a throwaway line here and there. The discussion has mainly centred around the Rebels this year and...

Australian audiiences tend to be pretty fickle if their team is losing. Especially in Rugby. Just look back to the Tahs good couple of years and the Reds good run under Link. Stadiums were full and there was a buzz about the game. The media was positive. It becomes super fast vicious circle...
