David Moffett launches Warren Gatland attack, names next Wales coach

Funneled to the top? Isn’t that how every sporting league works anywhere in the world? The top players go to the top teams with the bigger budgets?

I do realise how many South African players are abroad (at any level) and it’s a very small percentage of the total number of professional players.

The bottom line is that NZ doesn’t have close to the player numbers SA has.

Yes he has had a few BAD results but there is a heck of a lot of skilful players he’s introduced

Not a good result against Scotland but perhaps not a bad thing

They have played the worst Welsh side ever and won fortuitously in an amazing game against England

So this was a reality check

Guys like Wright, Suaalii, Valetini and McDermott are thriving under Joe but equally Wright and Kellaways defence is a liability

Williams and Frost are going well and Skelton isn’t the answer IMO

Main issues for me like England are first up tackles and still that old tight five bug bear

Still, things are improving and a good effort or even a win against Ireland would be an amazing end to their tour

I feel they are starting to show fatigue and Ireland are slowly improving

Never know though! They will relish the underdog status

As an ABs fan an improving wallabies is a good thing

They lose players left, right and centre due to pay disputes or them being unaffordable. Players can't make ends meet, getting paid peanuts, yet the top brass gets paid millions. They don't play the game. They don't sacrifice their bodies, their health and even their sanity due to all the head injuries. No, they just keep scooping because they can. Off the back of the players and unions, who are trying their very best to keep the pot full.

How can this be allowed? How is it fair? I'm a Saffa, and I'm completely disgusted by this. He is the Zuma of rugby in England. If you don't know the fall of that corrupt fool, Google him. If I were a player from England, I'd have no part of the RFU and start another organisation apart from them, or at least refuse to play any more competitions until all these corrupt fools are kicked out of the sport

Savea lost his acceleration. It's the first thing to go and it knocks player's confidence. Their game is built around a burst of speed to get through a hole or around someone. Once that fails a few times they start looking ordinary and it's all downhill from there.

There's the odd exception like Ben Smith who could do it all, but for the most part speed merchants have awesome but short ABs careers.

France has never won a RWC. They outperformed this year.

But the fact that a French player is incredibly skilled and has an incredible year (yes, except for 15s international games), it seems unbearable for many.

As if it meant that the performances or the status of teams you support was not legitimate.

Guys, Dupont being an amazing player doesn’t mean you’re failing at life. It’s ok.

Sorry but instead of disappointed and overly identifying fans, I prefer to listen to the opinion of experts and pundits who really know the game and simply appreciate Dupont regardless of who they support.

If that’s not an impact… Look at Squidge reaction on the matter.

And if you want to look at minutes, you should say Jesse Kriel should’ve have taken the POTY over Du Toit.

The guy started 7s in January.

And won the Champions Cup and the Top14 in between those 7s competitions. A week after his immense performance against Leinster, he won the Grand Final in Madrid.

Award given due to star power? He proved all year that he’s deserves his star status by winning it all, except for 1 tournament in Vancouver.

And 1 defeat in 15s.
