@Oom_Rugby @mangorugby Still amazes me why Rassie has not included him in training camps etc. I think he would be a great inclusion because of his versatility and his ability to field up and under kicks

If Franco is really spending Glasgow’s money on bringing in a South African centre – a position they have tonnes of cover for already – that would be a pretty shocking waste of budget tbh

Can we stop this Ben ? Honestly, rugby is probably better with the Springboks winning every World Cup, because their fans refuse to shut up about it. They’ll bring up the RWC in conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with rugby. you could be talking about groceries, and somehow it turns into “4 cups” and “champions of the world.” It’s chaos, but it keeps the sport alive. Just imagine, If France or the All Blacks had won the last two tournaments, nobody would even remember at this point. The buzz would’ve died in a week, and 90% of these South African accounts wouldn’t even exist. Social media would be so quiet you could hear crickets. So yeah, I’m genuinely hoping the Boks will get away with these once again and win again in 2027. Rugby needs that constant noise and nobody provides it better (or louder) than Springbok fans. And I am here for it ! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 #Springboks #Rugby

The Interference that cost the All Blacks the World Cup. Eben Etzebeth, retreating from an offside position inside his own 22, obstructs an All Blacks’ pass with a 5-on-2 overlap with no defending fullback. Deliberately ran through the passing lane to kill the play. He was penalised. That was all. He saves two-to-four points for the Springboks in a game that finished 12-11. The punishment does not fit the crime: Offside interference like this doesn’t warrant a yellow card, but a one-handed intercept attempt from an onside position does. This is cynical cheating of the highest order. Etzebeth should have been binned right then and there. The All Blacks were robbed of a try scoring opportunity they finish 80% of the time. This play and the knock-down by Etzebeth from the France quarter-final were disguised thievery.

The @Springboks team to face France on Saturday. Just one back line change to the team that started the RWC QF in 2023. Same front row as vs Argentina in Durban. Esterhuizen on the bench with RG and Ruan @SSRugby

In disturbing news from the Middle East, it’s been reported that Greta Thunberg was cruelly tortured by having to read several Tweets from Fikile Mbalula. No one at this stage knows if Greta will ever recover from this horror.

@hendrikcronje71 I cannot believe that Rassie has not drawn David Kriel into the mix at some stage. He was / and still could be a brilliant full back and utilty back. Ask Jake White.

@Oom_Rugby Agree - and hopefully Wiese stays on for 80 and not yellow carded - the ABs will torment him. Also seems that Jan Hendrik is a frontrower in his planning. And hopefully its dry…..

Asenathi Ntlabakanye has provided an “adverse analytical finding” during random testing by the South African Institute for Drug Free Sport ... Out of Bok contention for a bit ... Not sure he should ever have been ahead of Fouche
