Three simple things learnt last week but more to be revealed

In a nutshell no need to elaborate

1) The AB's are top dog

2) The Pumas are much stronger than what was assumed.

3) The SA golden oldies must bow out graciously and allow up and coming talent...a liitle late but it's better than never...this won't win the championship but will save face and set the stage for next year.

So the stage is set for some interesting and bitter battles. I really want the Pumas to win at least one and in a way it is encouraging to see another nation improving...Beeno must learn that the rugby world is more exciting when there are more challenges...the AB's are not the only...

 its ok Beanhead to let go of unhealthy obsessions 

Classic Hakwa!!
Glad you are back on the site to help weee Beeno out I know he has missed your insightful pictu res.

Ho ho...but that's an old photo of Beeno in the glory days when he was a lightie and the Boks won the odd one or two.

Now it's the obsession with conferences and social engagements that seem to crop up during Stormers/Sharks and SA/Pumas matches...more conferences are expected in the following weeks...lolz

I wonder what these conferences and secret engagements are all about???

I see Seb is flirtng with the dark side. The wee abs have not won the RC as yet. Boks top the log thuis far may I remind you.However I did wish the Argies all the very best for the remainder of the RC seb - most sincerely ment!
It really should be one to Oz and one to nz. Mcaaaw has admitted as much. Abs got out of jail. Pity the wobblies never rocked up for second game.
Hacked waaaugh's unfortunate pictures do add to the comedy on the board but should not mislead anybody. He is a progandist specialising is disinformation and distortion a master of allusions and delusions! 

 Beeno
It hurts me to admit it as well but once you make the initial admission its gets easier. All  Blacks are the Number 1 side. Mind what I say I am torn between wanting Oz to beat the boks and wanting some one to beat the ABs in the RC.

 Oz beating the boks sounds fair enough, we dont want them all turning to League now do we ? Like mr " If I isnt allowed to play I is taking my balls and farking off to the NRL"Beale ....So encouragement is needed !

 As for Beale he will be facing a mean Bok side which will be taking no captives. They must look to their third Bleidis low match to extract revenge against the abs.  
Claydog I realise you are depressed (and drinking heavily and not thinking clearly) as a consequence of this temporary setback but do man up! Distressing to see you rolling over like a dead dog.  
The abs are living on borrowed time. One flashy win against a wobblies side that didnt pitch is no defining moment. As I said elsewhere it should be one all in the tests as even mcaaaw admitted. No need for any panic. Ewen must just get his selections right and get Speight in and the third match could be yours. It was nice to see H ooper owing mcaaaw for starters.
Beeno helping Claydog (and Reds also I would guess) over a bad patch

 Thanks Beeno, your help through this difficult time is appreciated.

 ABS must hav e borrowed a century or two o that "borrowed " time eh ?

 Sorry Sebastienchabal but I think you might be a little premature on all 3 counts!

 

While I would have to say the AB's are certainly on form they have yet to play SA this tournament.  I'm not predicting an SA away win but I'm not writing off the Boks just yet.  And the fact that SA are top of the log so far means the AB's are actually 2nd dog

 

The Pumas are not going to win a sinlge game.  Nobody thinks they are weak, they are just not at the level of the other 3 teams.

 

As for the 'golden oldies'..... we could have used a few of them in the last game.  I thought the first half proved that boys can't win test matches (never mind a world cup).  Bring in players on form by all means but experience can't be bought.  Some of the lads on this site think that youth is the only option.  If that was the case then our u21 side should represent us at the WC???

 Mole  troll really! who are these young players who fared so badly. It was the oldhands who never stood tall. I have my doubts as to the legality of the Argies scrum but take that aside it was the older palyers like Guthro, Bissie and Jannie who didnt solve the problems posed (Du Plessis brothers have been overplayed for YEARS!). Juan Smith as well was nowhere. Pienaar apart from one moment really doesnt inspire. Even Jean was below par.
Who of the younger players was at fault? The main problems were the starting front row and a pedestrian scrummie with no flair.  
Also give the Argies their due. Their anti rugby is very effective. They could get their first win this RC - we shall see.
