Welcome back Saffex, hope you enjoyed SA
Hahaha Moodie, no wonder the bulls are doing so poorly, the guys don't have much brain cells if he says Belfast, probably meant to say playing in Belfast.
Who are you 15 fringe players you would want to see in the lead up to the World Cup?
Or would you prefer just to play the World Cup squad now?
Tell us about your trip Dave
@Mpower: The farm boys in the USA are big. A world apart from the crazy and deranged city folk. They have no shortage of men who could take the very biggest and strongest of Boks on.
Klopper, what a name
Ja Saffex, that is what I felt as well but couldn’t put my finger on it. Familiarity is a big thing. I went back 3 times in year. I went last year Feb, but we were coming out of Covid and a lot of sidewalk squatters, but the court in the cape have no ruled that they can be removed.
My recent trip was the best with my kids. Only a week, but will be taking them back again next depending on finances given that the UK is free falling into the abyss.
But I loved catching up with old mates, hanging out with them at Big Bay in Blouberg, watching our kids play together while we chatted away

American Football is far more physical than rugby. The Boks of today are not as physical as they were in Smit's era.
Concussion doesn't have to come from a big hit, as studies show. Seemingly innocuous encounters can be just as damaging.
I had a boyfriend who played American Football. Strangely enough, he was South African .
He only played locally in England. By the time I knew him, he had the most fantastic scar on his head from when an opposition player smashed him in the forehead with his helmet. My boyfriend was sitting on the touch line without his helmet on so he was knocked clean out and yes, he suffered a nasty concussion !!
Yeah it was very popular in the 1990’s. AFL seems pretty popular here now.
Yeah the crash hat is a lethal weapon !
The current Bok side is bullied everywhere outside of the line out and maul. We have about three genuinely powerful players now. Smit's teams and the Straeuli Boks would murder this current team, the latter quite literally! The NFL is loaded with great athletes. Saffex, you tend to be very opinionated about things you don't know anything about and that usual leads you to a bit of foot stamping and embarrassment. Just smile and carry on chewing your biltong. There's a good chap.
The current Bok side has been road kill in contact. I can't recall last the Boks were sub 80% on defence for a season. It's the only Bok side I have seen that has been bullied throughout a season on the gainline.
What's this "we" business? Your schizophrenia showing itself in numbers?
Has this Mpower person ever contributed anything to this board other than to sing the praises of Doos XL . . . the same loser who has posted under at least 20 different handles? (N o exaggeration).
Dairy Bells turning up just in time to throw a bit of mud. And it asks if Power has ever made a contribution to the board. Funny stuff. I don't need to attack personalities therefore I don't care who you are or what account you post from . I deal with the topic at hand and that's always been far more than you can ever handle!
Saffex, you have been pretty easily taken apart. Why? Because you make too many arrogant assumptions. You're a balding Karen who needs to take some diazapham.
The guy Doos XL is literally the most ignorant rugby and cricket follower I have ever come across.
Fixed!
