True but they are the All Blacks ffs. So Australians won't be pissed if the World Cup was here and the Poms rocked up with a Gold jersey? You'd be spitting mad. Funnily the Kiwis have actually been quite relaxed about it. I hope they give the Poms endless shit once they arrive though.

Good signing but we need a shedload more than that. Another good lock, THP, centres. Lobotomy basically. Tough years ahead. Should have bloody signed Mostert. Idiots.

Latest rumor is Bismack and Jannie du Plessis won't renew with the Sharks and head overseas.

Have the put a Pint down on the halfway line and told Dan Cole to have a go? I reckon he'd snot the lad. Seriously, speed is just one part of the thing. Stepping, awareness of space are as important. Look at O'Driscoll, He isn't particularly fast but gets through a gap like few others do.

Stupid Welsh cry-baby wannabe fucknuckles.

Stupid fucknuckles.

Starting to wonder if Brussow will ever be fit again. Alberts >>>>> Deysel What's Alberts' injury? Also think they may give BJ a go ahead of Jannie.

He played through the Super Tournament with quite a few niggles and was one player that would have been rested regardless of the whole "resting" circus. He'll be okay, not worried about match fitness in the slightest.

Last I heard he started running but it didn't go too well. He was targeting a bench position next week but that is unlikely. http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/TriNations/Juan-Smith-in-race-against-time-20110727 Lots of people are talking about Burger at 8 but I can't see them experimenting this...

There is sometimes a perception that the NH players play more rugby in their season than their SH counterparts. As Paarl pointed out in another thread, some of the French clubs operate a dual squad, but from my knowledge they don't all do that. Some teams like Racing seem to me to pick from a...

It's noty the way Toulon operated and it's definitely not the way Racing operated. I saw a lot of their games and they mixed the players up. Maybe Clermonth can afford two squads btu I doubt every team in france can. I read somewhere that Steyn played over 3o games. Don't know if this is...

Who is your toughest opponent? When you smack James O'Connor, does he cry?

That is not quite true. They have a larger squad and will pick from that same squad. Typically if their chances are gone in one compe they will start fielding a depleted team (often pretty crap) and keep their big names for the compe they are targeting. They typicall start the season out...

Better lineout caller than Simmons. Presents a genuine ball carrying option which the other two don't really. Way more match fitness than Vickerman, obviously. Good communicator. Quicker around the park than Vickerman, on par with Simmons. Only q is his scrummaging but I'm not sure that not...

As a Bok supporter I am very happy to not see Sharpe in the starting team and would be quite happy if Deans started either Simmons or even Vickerman ahead of him. Can't believe how the love for Sharpe has dwindled but I suspect it is largely a Queensland phenomena.

Why would he swap Alexander and Kepu around now?

Can't see what that's got to do with playing for 80 minutes by anyway. Can't see the Australian pack living with this All Black one. With Thorne and the good Franks back this week it's a scary monster. Read also likely back which adds another tentacle. The Wallaby 8 will have to work like...
