Pro D2 : Béziers rappelle Nanai-Williams

why are you so obsessed with the age of SA players? Rassie is a great coach who has a great many strengths, you don't need to argue against facts on this one point.

Libbok went to the RWC with 9 caps, and since then has added a further 9 across the 17 tests that SA have played. This year, however, the emergence of SFM and Hendrikse, however, has limited him to just 4 appearances in 10 tests. If he keeps being capped at that rate he'll only just scrape to 30 by the time of the next world cup. But yeah, if you're counting Willemse as an option at 10, then in all likelihood SA will have 4 10s with over 30 caps by the start of the next world cup.

Often, head collision is accidental, and while some is more intentional than others, it should not entirely ruin the match, but simply act as a major advantage to the opposition.

The real issues with CTE are in the lower amateur and barely professional/provincial leagues, as the technique is obviously worse. WR should be looking to improve the systemic issues at grassroots rather than implement a law which only benefits the highest level (and taking their time with it too). Hasn't this thing been on trial for like 4 years now? Just get on with it

In comparison to a blatant act of thuggery deserving the full extent of the laws, what peeves me is when players take an accidental hit, milk it by doing a hollywood the other player gets sent off and they suddenly seem fit enough to play on.

Which in my opinion is an act contravening the conduct of good sportsmanship and should be punished by a yellow card.

You would think he’s been playing all year the way he played! And that was coming off the bench!
