Stormers beat Zebre in a game that won't live long in the memory

Dmac off the bench makes sense. BB to kick the ball around a bit to (hopefully) tire out those big French forwards.

But we also know the French just lurv a good kick fest. So it could be boring for a bit. Interspersed with some ridiculous tries from either side.

Dupont, who starts this game provisionally rated 9/10 by the Rugbypass people, is going to need attention.

My heart says NZ but my bum says France. Hopefully I’m wrong. And/or it’s tight.

The game. Not my bum. My bum is tight.

But for the good of both teams…

I really mean this. I hope I’m wrong about England getting pumped. The fans deserve better.

Which is 1 point short of 43 being their record margin of loss at Twickenham.

Hmmm.

So if Australia can put 42 past. The boks can put at least 1 more than that. And then don’t let them score.

Anyone playing the Lotto this week?

1, 10, 27, 29, 44.

You’ll have to add one of your own. I can’t do everything.

We’ll split the difference. So 27 points then. Minimum.

Leon McDonald to replace Penney ASAP.

Why bother with 1s and 2s when you can hit boundaries.

Okay, maybe Itoje off the bench. Okay, maybe Marcus off the bench. Okay, maybe Cunningham-Smith off the bench. So long as he stops being so windgat. (Rassie doesn’t like Windgat).

But that’s it!

But anyway, there’s no point debating with Finn. He can’t admit to the fact that the springboks are amazing. Because he’d have to admit he’s been so wrong about them. His pride is at stake.

Rancid W@nkb@lls,

(Red Warriors new handle)

here are some of the things you've very recently called or said indirectly to either RI, AB's, AB fans, or Kiwis in general..

- s¢um

- pigs

- cowards

- arrogant

- cult members

- mocking beaten teams

Yet you have the audacity to claim some people (me included) have called you names.?!!

You think you're really clever & witty with your posts, but all you are is a sad old man that nobody likes

You're such a pathetic moron it's actually beyond comprehension..

The English are going to kick everything all night. I think the boks are going to go direct. Tonyball to close the season.

Fast forward to the following week, come 60mins or so Smith gets moved to 15 the boos and groans i believe were directed more at Borthwick than Ford but the end result was the same a poor pass in midfield led to an intercept, once again i was left fuming at the insanity.

Now this week the team is slightly different but with more of a defensive angle but i believe the end result will be the same, part of me worries that if we do by some miracle nick this it will only paper over the cracks as it is looking more and more that the coaching team is not up to the job and out of their depth at test level.
