I mean, no one has said it that I’ve seen, but the Boks are fucking roided up to the nuts, their coaches cheat with HIAs, their coaches attack referees, their players are mostly fluffybunnies, there isn’t a single neutral fan who wants them to win.
Beautiful. About time someone said this.

@pakman Foster confirms that he will be coaching again after the RWC. I wonder what his new gig will be?
The Chiefs (gets coat).
Ahem. Wash your mouth out sir!

Every podcast I've listened too (and there have been many) is talking about how the ABs need to counter the Boks.
There is next to 0 chat about the threats the ABs pose and what SA will have to do to deal with them.
Am I crazy or is this a bit weird?
It's being talked about like it's a given SA will be the ones applying the pressure all game.

Doesn’t go far enough. I heard they’re mean to small animals and break children’s toys. They also cheat at golf and park in handicap spaces.
Worst of all, they play rugby to win not to entertain other countries’ casual fans. Scum.

They've done it again. If this doesn't get you fired up you might need to check your pulse.
The first guy was impressive, I had hairs standing up, and the second guy just yelled.
But go the ABs!

might just because Sa have come out with this unusual bench etc....they are very obvious in they way they look like theyre planning something...we're we have largely stuck with the same starting 23

Telling Coles he wasn’t playing must be the toughest thing Fozzie’s done. Can only imagine how much fire he’s going to put into the lads this week.
“Yeah, tough,” Foster said in reference to dumping Coles. “That was a tough one. Probably the toughest I have had as a coach.”

@Smuts Serious question here. Was it just Dyanti, or was it just Dyanti who got caught?

Older article but
"Social media went berserk. In the past there have been positive findings against a platoon of high-profile rugby players such as Johan Ackermann, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Johan Goosen, Ntando Kebe and Monde Hadebe, but Dyantyi’s was the highest profile of the lot."Aphiwe Dyantyi's long lonely road
In a matter of months, Bok wing Aphiwe Dyantyi went from rugby prosperity to drug complexity. Sibusiso Mjikeliso investigates.

@Kiwiwomble I think it's justified chat, however, we are sure as shit going to test them too.
For me the most relevant talking point is can they cope with us to start.
If it's close and they bring on the bench, then yup, it's gonna be tough for us to counter (but I back our boys to do it).

A sensible team - we've gone with our big boys to counter their big boys.
Would have loved to see Roigard in there but that was never going to happen, was always going to be Christie for the knockout games.
But the tactics from SA are obvious, grind, kick and strangle. I can only hope the 7-1 split comes back to hurt them, but that's injury dependent on the day.
im really surprised it hasnt bitten them already , its not that uncommon for 2 or even 3 backs to go down during the course of a game , ankles , hamstrings, knees etc .
that normally happens when they get tackled
when your backs never touch the ball, they don't get tackled, and therefore don't get hurt

Unless attempting to catch a ball off a kick, I would be surprised if the ball gets past 10.
Surely we target Faf this week, legally of course.

@Rancid-Schnitzel get your excuses in early. I like it.
