Ospreys name Lance Bradley as new CEO

Look at all the shade Saffers throw at Ireland. You have 4 world cups yet you can’t abide Ireland’s superior head to head recent record. Check your arrogance and ego!

As for the Kiwis, the AB website says they are ‘superstars’ and ‘humble heroes’. No need to elaborate there. Now run along and don’t whinge when you get your own shade back at you in spades. Dufus.

I have held off from Pollockmania for a while (I saw him in Cardiff but that was a free ride) but this was top rugby in a hostile environment. He may be Gazza-like daft as a brush and the biggest cock of the walk since Campese, yes and more, but he bursts with mad energy and Bothamesque self-belief. He empties the bars to watch him, as they say. The Aussies will love to hate him!

Ireland were better than you in the RWC. We know that. NZ were better than you (1 point match and NZ had 14, they were better. End of story).

So why don’t you run along and boast somewhere else. By the way before attacking other peoples: please remember your nations despicable rugby and national history. By now!

Etzebeth withdrew it after the first test in Pretoria in November. Before that he had admitted that the 12-13 players he had claimed said it was also BS. It was two, maybe one.

What Etzebeth said at the time was hearsay not confiemd by anyone but himself. The only statement on the public record is Etzebeth saying SA would see Ireland in the final if Ireland were good enough. That was surely insulting to Scotland, France, England etc no? or doesn’t that count?

But carry on looking for red herrings to ‘prove’ Irish arrogance.
