    Retiring from Rugby

    I'm betting you do just that ;) Good luck mate, I wish we could all play forever.

    Retiring from Rugby

    I don't know what level A-grade is in Australia, but I think I can relate to most of what you've said. Except, I was never a top notch player, the highest level I ever played in was 2nd team at a club in the first division in South Africa. The first division is club competition one below Currie...

    ABs vs Poms

    I disagree that the Poms love Ashton. Most people I chat to think he's a cock. I agree with them.

    Every human being has a flawed character. People make mistakes. Your flaw is probably that you can't accept that. I'll leave it now, this won't go anywhere. And I already +1'd Cyclopath's earlier post that sums up my view of the incident.

    Now you've played the man, not the ball. Your post is absurd, there is no logic. You cannot appeal to indiscretions that don't exist to prove a point.

    That is a ridiculous post.

    I have to agree with you, unfortunately. No decent rugby teams around to challenge the All Blacks, who are at the top of their game. I said to someone last night, the All Blacks should be ranked 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the IRB rankings that's how much better they are at the moment. I long for the rugby...

    We're on a rugby discussion forum. If you think making a video analysing an aspect of a teams play is pathetic you're in the wrong place.

    Great post, and agreement from me. Can't really add more.

    I'll have to go home to view that video, but fingers over the eyes or near the eyes isn't an indication of intent to gouge. Etzebeth wraps both arms around Laidlaw who is very low, and one hand is over Laidlaw's face. He is clearly trying to hold him up, and even drops his hand at one point when...

    Etzebeth cited, for this (I think):

    Pienaar for me was MoM, not just Springbok MoM. Lambie had some very poor kicks, and just didn't look comfortable in the role / game plan. However, he was better in the second half when the forwards started performing and winning some of the collisions, which is always the case for a flyhalf...

    The Irish #4 from that pic played very well, and was causing trouble when he could. No way is Etzebeth going to back down, and nor should he. Always niggle when the Irish play, Australians should know this as well as anybody. Always niggle when the Springboks play too I guess, and so there was...

    Well, your argument is strong, but after many years of very sub par NH performances I'm cynical.

    What if HM doesn't rate de Jongh as much as you? But point taken, he could have swapped both positions. In that case he's probably gone with Kirchner for experience. Put yourself in his mind. Given his past persistence with Steyn he probably still views him as the anchor with which he...

    Out of interest, why do you guys call him Lampie?

    That's ok, you're allowed to have a wrong opinion ;) IMO, Pieterson was playing better than Habana before his injury.

    I agree with you about the back row. I prefer Pieterson over Habana currently. I think Frans and Bismarck are the biggest losses.
