130,000 – An impressive new beer consumption record as fans got stuck in during the pool game between Ireland and South Africa.
130,000 – An impressive new beer consumption record as fans got stuck in during the pool game between Ireland and South Africa.
49 – The number of tackles unsung hero Franco Mostert 
made in the knockouts for South Africa, he did not miss one during that period.
Mostert is the Pollard of tacklers….they never miss.
Over the same games, Dud Toit was 55 and 8. But he played 240 minutes vs Mostert’s 177. Multiply Mostert’s 49 tackles by 240/177 and you get 67 tackles.
More tackles per minute…no missed tackles. Mostert was clearly the tackler of the knockouts.
Powder puff tackles like a girl
Dave poor Mozz has difficulty distinguishing between quality and quantity.
Ask yourself. Who would you prefer to be tackled by Mostert of Du Toit.
Case closed.
I think we just need to ask Jordie Barrett that question
A Bok lock should be smashing players into submission exactly like PSDT did in the final
I credit Mostert with all those tackles but it’s not his job as a lock to be making technically sound little tackles like Willie would be making. Therein lies my issue with him. No physicality in anything he does - he is a Bok lock for fuck sake
The record number of viewers are largely a consequence of the heroic efforts of Rassie's Boks.
Boks were involved in riveting matches. Some say the match against France was the FINEST RWC match ever played.
But of course Mozzz and Doos had to trash it all. What a hapless duo they made.
Eluckmus …is about as riveting as the next 50 lb overweight blowhard. The good news is the globalist drug industry is bringing a solution….a weight reduction drug that works. Mozzz is already well positioned.
Rassie is an absolute genius best coach the Boks have ever had
If you want a boring, poor people manager look no further than Jake
It’s so obvious Rassie is loved by all because the guy has personality more so than any other Bok coach we have had, bar Mallett and Kitch
As for the Boks playing style we scored more tries than Scotland, France and England, the same against Ireland and conceded a non try to AB
Pre WC we were on attacking fire in our game against NZ
You don’t play all out attacking rugby in a WC - even my sister knows that
How about scoring just one measly try when you are a man up. As for Eluckmus’ country boy act, sorry, I’ve just seen it too many times before to find it entertaining.
Kolisi messed our try up and 14 men meant nothing with a specialist hooker for 78min in the pouring rain
Rassie oozes personality
Yes ooze is a good descriptive word for Eluckmus.
...now fat-shaming a man who had serious health issues only a few years back...classy...those mynhoop rockspiders sure did a job on you...
Hardly fat now is he - I saw him in the flesh at Twickers and there is nothing fat about him
Ah so it was luck that saw us triumph having to face Scotland, Ireland, France, England and NZ in the process
Wow how lucky we are to have so much luck - not once but 4 times
Flesh is the operative word…all these subliminal perceptions are coloring your vocabulary Dave.
Draad I’m sure his weight has something to do with his father’s issues, probably something to do with his suffering while making others suffer. Snake oil alert.
Since when did he have a weight issue?
Not sure exactly…but I am sure he was a victim.
Hold on….we have this from January 2021, commenting on a bout of Covid:
The only things that’s left now are headaches and – with my fat body – a really low heart rate for some reason. I’m averaging between 48 and 55 [beats per minute], which I definitely shouldn’t be, considering how fat I am currently,’ he added with a wry smile.
Rassie is not over weight you need your eyes tested and so what if he was - what does that have to do with anything
It does not diminish the fact that he is an awesome coach - the best the Boks have ever had
No Bok coach has a record to match
He’s not, but so what if he is? He just admitted he was a porker.
Mozzz continues to shrink as a person with all his fanatical hatred of Rassie.
Will he ever recover from the way Rassie has runned his long Crooked snout in the dung!.
The loon is beside himself!!
I admitted nothing I said if he was fat what difference would it make to him as a coach
What the fuck does a man’s shape have to do with his credentials as a coach
Moz are you really this desperate to discredit Rassie
Everytime you try you embarrass yourself on here as let’s face it only a complete idiot would try discredit Rassie’s amazing record and we know you are not an idiot so what is it?
Dave wee mozzue is incredibly peeved because Rassie winning a second Rugby Workd Cup has made a complete jackass of him.
His ego has, suffered a huge blow and he is fuming inside.
I wonder if Plum is getting it yet?
There are plenty of video featuring Rassie on You Tube. Rassie might be fat when he compares himself to his best weight in his playing days but he doesn't look fat. But as you say what does it matter concerning Rassie as a coach.
You believe everything else he says….believe him when he says he is fat.
Who said Rassie was fat?
Rassie said this after getting COVID:
‘The only things that’s left now are headaches and – with my fat body – a really low heart rate for some reason. I’m averaging between 48 and 55 [beats per minute], which I definitely shouldn’t be, considering how fat I am currently,’ he added with a wry smile.
"....considering how fat I am currently,’ he added with a wry smile."
He looked a bit over his normal weight at some stage 2019is...he had health issues back then...haven't really noticed him being particularly "big" of late...
What some people concider to be fat, others would regard slim...a bit of perspective...a former Springbok would probably consider anything slightly heavier than optimum weight as fat...but that's beside the issue, you're playing the man again...
No you are looking for excuses again….top coach owe their players the courtesy of a bit of self discipline on their part, given they are demanding that of their players.
...context isn't necessarily an excuse...we don't have all the facts, but it looks like his players would walk through fire for him...he seems to be a good motivator, however corny he comes accross at times...the disco lights still baffles some...bizarre. 
That’s 2019 it’s now nearly 2024 for crying out loud
COVID was in 2020, that excerpt was from 2021, for crying out loud. Keep pitching Dave and I’ll keep knocking them out the park.
It’s was in 2021 about 2020 and it’s now a few days away from 2024, so about 3 and a half years ago
Moz the only knocking you are doing is straight into your own stumps
I saw Rassie just before the WC - there was nothing fat about him not that it’s of any relevance really
He was on the field running around with the team getting stuck in with the tackle bags
Out of interest what is your point regarding his weight?
Forget it Dave, you’ll like this:
Yeah saw that a while back.
Maybe he coached Pollard in the art of kicking :)
