The damaging farce keeps going on in any moment.


SA ruined the tour when they fielded  an A team that revealed their lack of depth, SA simply does not train talent.


When the third and fourth best options are the same and the first and second best options, there is no surprising: an A team looks like a first team selection.


After breaking the tour, no sign of shame, not even the will to justify not fielding a proper A team by delivering a good game.


The game was utter garbage: stop and go, players spending more time hands on their waists, panting than running the ball, teams only played one half each, Lions at least scoring three points during the first half while SA did not even bother the effort and scored no point in the second half.


Gullible or submissive people could have thought that SA players would have taken to heart to deliver a terrific game. But no, the greed showed again its ugly face, the SA guns for hire delivered a nightmarish performance.


No passion, no shame, no respect, no ethics, nothing. SA players do not play for their people, most players hate on the SA nation. When the paycheck is not written in, SA players do not step on the field.


Money, money, money. Greed, greed, greed.


Forget about the last tour against NZ, the thrill, the sense of expectation. That is the past.


The test series Australia-France delivered three cracker games, tense games that kept rugby lovers on their seat.


Their precious...

While it's true that SA don't train and develop talent very well, they do have immense depth. Picking on ability and not media reputation, the Boks can field four strong lineups.

3 Rugby World cups in less time than it took New Zeeland to get theirs ...I think we are doing OK, especially given the constraints we have to deal with.

Yes. Constraints. Quota whities and hands off coaching.

For the sake of accuracy: New Zealand, 1986, 2011*, 2015.

For the sake of absolute accuracy: France, 2011.

You failed to mention the joke in 1995.
