Springboks hit by double injury blow in victory over All Blacks

I like the idea of trying Jordan as a playmaker far more than I do Jordie, but I'm not sure he has the size to do it as comfortably as someone like Furbank might.

Best idea is to can the whole Idea I believe (I think Dmac and Richie are more than capable of having the full burden of playmaking, and the side will be better for it).

I didn't ask for the Kings stats though thanks Nick. Always enjoyed the Cheetahs style, glad they still had better results in the URC than they did in SR despite the confusion!

Argh right, so because they decided to put their disbanded teams in the URC, and despite their best players going to the SR sides, they still did so well they thought URC would be a better ticket to get their teams some wins. They made a great decision didn't they Nick? Won the whole thing!

SA are 1/4 against IRE. The same IRE where rugby is the 4th most popular sport on the island.

Back to bed, dick head.

Any wonder their top dogs are stealing a living over in Japan.

You take the 10 Premiership sides, the 4 Welsh sides, and 2 Scottish sides, plus the top 4 from the previous season's RFU Championship. That's 20 teams. Four groups of 5, each team plays 2 home, 2 away fixtures, place the group stage in November. Then the winner of each group play in the knockout stage on the off weeks during the Six Nations window.

This achieves multiple purposes such as reconstituting the old Anglo-Welsh rivalries from the AW Cup days, it keeps the Championship involved and gives something to shoot for even for the Champ clubs that are unable or do not intend to meet promotion standards, and it gives every Prem club the (at least) 2 additional home fixture gates that they've been missing since the league shrunk to 10 teams. I think such a competition like this would command a better TV deal and better in-person attendance than the current Prem Cup.

The ironically named 'super' rugby. Lad!!!!

He's a langer and so clearly out of his depth.

We've had massive problems with them sniffing seats in the stadium and stealing toilet rolls from the bogs.

A player with even rudimentary skills to fulfil the specialist role that it is?

The opposition will always have a chance when Sam "shyte Richie McCaw" is on the pitch too.

The Premiership is operating at a loss of €30m from its total income of €191m. That’s why they are desperate to hookup with the URC. The URC does not need poor English clubs.

Then you talk about the RFU to confuse yourself further.

Joe is the wrong man. He always brought good teams to the next level but now he's starting in the gutter.

Do aussies even watch union anymore?
