Ulster part ways with coach just days before preseason starts

"Links between the Nazis and the Springboks will likely be jarring for many supporters of the green and gold. Especially those who have been swept up by a discourse that has morphed into mythology over the past six years. Two World Cup wins have each garnered blockbuster documentary series that have tugged at heart strings and brought tears to the eyes of even the most stoney-hearted fan."

Please can you highlight the part where I equate the Springboks with the Nazis.

South Africa $1.50 7 All Blacks $2.50 Head to Head. Thought N.Z was good odds. . Better than a toss of the coin.

The thing about Blackadder is he will never be fit for long enough to discover his best. A handful of games is all he seems able to get through. I have a theory that it's a symptom of players who are playing at least 7-10kg above their natural playing weight. His old man was the same height and about 15kg lighter. He's probably naturally a 105kg open side, who has been turned into a 115kg central channel workhorse.

Re. Pariis. Insulting a losing team/retiring players after the final whistle is blown is just utter arrogance. First lesson we teach kids is not to mock people you've just beaten. No special status for NZ here.

Back to the topic at hand: Ioane cited Ireland disrespecting the Haka as an excuse to gesture disprespectfully to the crowd. How can you expect people to respect the Haka when those defending the Haka behave in such a disgraceful manner? If you defend Ioane here you are proving my point: one rule for NZ, a different rule for everyone else.

Altitude aside NZ should be looking at a level of fitness where they can do a surge like they do at the start of games later on in a game during the 'key' 10 mins. Easier said than done, but a quick burst of tries was a mainstay in NZ play historically.

Exceptional is good but so is consistency and reliability, I would like to Sing and Wyrwas come back into the fold sometime in the future and speaking of halfbacks, whatever happened to Infante?
