Sam James (Sale Sharks) convoité par le Racing 92 et le Japon

Jake's always whinging on about it because well, he's always whinging about something or other. Yeah, he's peed off because he can't win all the time in the URC like the Bulls always believe they're entitled to do (much like England anytime, anywhere, any sport) but he hasn't quite worked out how professional sport works IMHO. I think he was also embarrassed that Franco Smith (Vrystaat!!) brought his Glasgow side over and won the URC at Loftus against all odds (and having seen them recently beat The Stormers at Stellenbosch, Franco's done an amazing job and I reckon could well be the next Bok coach once Rassie retires).

Don’t worry about backing up your assertions with any facts or anything.

But anyway. You enjoy Doris. We’ll enjoy Wiese. Let’s see who Collects the most World Cup medals by the end of their career.

Who's Jake after, high profile, test players? or ones to build a strong URC team on?

But don't think I'm against the idea, letting players like PSDT and co go offshore at 30 was a great idea.

I'm more surprised there were no better fullbacks.

It's twice as rich when the reason for rugby being less popular and therefore shallow in depth in Wales and Australia these days is because both unions have sold their country's soul to kiwi coaches, meaning Welsh and Australian youngsters think, why should I bust my gut for a kiwi and aspire to play for my country when it's not really our national team anymore. It's just bunch of blokes with a mercenary kiwi as coach.

You sell your soul you have nothing left to sell.

The evidence is there but there are none so blind as those who are making a killing out of the fraud or benefiting from it. ie kiwis.

Dagg and Stevenson are absolutely right. There is still some IQ in NZ. Who'd have thought ?

England a good scrum? That's going back a few year! Actually you probably just need to credit Japan, I remember them also being very staunch then until the subs came on. Really good tackle% and turnover count, don't think you need to worry about Ugo's bleating you're doing a good enough job yourlself 😜

Japan has at least a couple of good try's in them, against England previously, NZ and France. NZ and France really did pump them for 40+ minutes though, England is quite at that level.

* Lomu did not come from Tonga - he was born in Pukekohe, NZ;

* Lomu was raised in and resided in Mangere - not Otara;

Anyway, I'm siding with Razor on this issue.
