'Who gives a crap?' Animosity towards the Springboks is proof of their dominance

Isn't hostility a sign you're on top? For the Springboks' detractors, that might explain a lot.

OJohn. I can’t believe you’re still here and haven’t quit the internet yet.

This Springboks team still relies largely on vibes

Yeah, they’re not firing on all cylinders. But they’re going in to each game for the win and pulling it off 11/13 times for this past year. After an 85% season last year.

Based on my calculations - No other team has had two seasons in a row of 85% or better in the last 6 years. Not even Ireland.

Absolutely love the way the Aussies play.

I knew they get good quick. But not that quick. Schmidt’s doing a great job. Onwards and upwards.

Four England talking points after they blow it again down the finish

guess those who don't like England will be very supportive of Steve Borthwick to stay .....

You used the goto Kiwi reaction to always blame losses on the referee/TMO. "Two ludicrous decisions changed the game". That's not showing respect for France's win. You are stating that France's win was due to ref/TMO errors.

All Blacks winger chimes in on GOAT debate after France defeat

It might be times for non-french people to understand Dupond (or any international player from Toulouse or La Rochelle) can NOT play in southern hemisphere. Impossible. There are only three southern games in june while Toulouse or La Rochelle are in semi-finals and finale of Top14. The debate is closed before it even began. All Blacks coaches can decide who play or not in local championships, not the case in France, it isn't even an option

England A player ratings vs Australia A | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

If Dingwall plays for England shouldn't he be given his preferred 13 slot?

I would love for Borthwick to select a specialist 12 one day! Will Butt, Max Ojomoh, and Dan Kelly (if he doesn't go to Ireland) could all be worth a look.

I clearly say. “Well done France “…reading is obviously not a strong point for you.

Israel exists whether you or I choose to support it or not. I bought some grapes grown in Israel the other day in no way means I support the oppression of Palestinians or the current Israeli war in their territories.

Is it possible for NZ to lose without blaming the referee or TMO? Do they have any self awareness? You are by a long way the most unsportsmanlike whingers in world rugby.

Shame about the present though.

Borthwick needs to give at least 3 or 4 of England A a start against Japan next week. I’d like to see Dingwall at 12 with Lawrence in his preferred 13 slot.

Youre asking how choosing to provide material support to the settler state indicates support for that state?

I've not once felt satisfied with the output vs potential of the boks, or, if you're going to cite inferior opposition, the consistency of good performances. But I know why they are not playing to potential yet. It's all good.
