Congrats to the All Blacks but well played Wobblies. The ABs showed they are building well for the games with the wee Boks. It will get down to who can impose their style of rugby.
Mighty All Blacks sweep Bledisloe
Plenty of intercept tries by ABs in last two games so maybe the Boks should just stick to their up and under anyway.
Also Barret with many crossfield kicks early on, too many penalties conceded by Wallabies.
Congrats to the Kiwi ballerinas. That Bledisloe Cup is your future should the Boks get into the 6 Nations JW.
JW without the Boks the SH comp is going to flop. Its tough luck of course but we cant prop up your rugby forever.
In terms of standards, no. South Africa are mere followers and have regressed markedly. In terms of revenue? Yes. As much as I have advocated moving north, I really don't see any rugby reason why they'd want us.
New Zealand have not faced a physical pack in a long time. They were frequently outmuscled by all and sundry from about 2017 onwards, and their backline fed off counterattack and opposition errors winning some games they should have lost.
The Boks need to make it physical from the very outset, and prevent the All Blacks turning it into netball.
The All-Black backrow is getting better, but if Retallick is not on top form, their tight five is poor.
The All Blacks have kept us at arms lengths in terms of physicality. Our blunt approach hasn't been a problem for them. The question is this: Can they field high balls? If they can, we have a major problem.
We don’t want you in the Six Nations, plain and simple !
There you have it Beeno, Becs says it like it is:
We don’t want you in the Six Nations, plain and simple !
& she lives over there. Never mind, we will always remember the once proud Boks & their laser focus (some would say small minded) on rugby. Oh, what a worthy adversary they were. Bugle (not trumpet ) playing Taps as the sun goes down.
Maak almal tournaments South African!
JW I am sure Becs is a very important person but be assured she is not the 6 nations. She doesn't even represent one nation.
Bec's great anxiety is having the Mighty Boks making England look second rate.
It's a fair assessment and so I understand Bec's suffering acute distress.
But the Boks will bring in the crowds and make it the premier national comp in the world.
Who is going to turn on and watch the wee ab ballerinas whopping the hapless Aussies who don't care too much about Rugby Union and less as time goes by. Goth woman from nz Raylene did a number on the brain dead woke Aussie nut jobs who emkged her.
No I suspect a deal will bring the Mighty Boks into the 6 nation fold and Bec's and her ilk will have to stock up on tissues and anti depressants etc.
Hahahahahahaha.
Beeno, your post is a little on the long side but I did read the first 10 words & think I got the gist of it. I agree Becs is a very important person so on that we seem to be in agreement
JW in relation to you she is a very important person. ??
No Beeno, my problem is the lack of manners…..you wait to be invited, you don’t just state you’re joining.
And, if you’re so fantastic, why do you want to come and play against such lesser teams ( in your eyes ) ?
One would think you’d at least want some competition……
