I bundled Cane and Read into a taxi on Harcourt Street in Dublin after the 2013 miracle win. They had fallen out of copper faced jacks. If you know you know. Sawdust on the floor and if you bring a bird with you to the door the bouncers charge you a corkage fee. 😂
The two of them were fucking bladdered and had no idea where they were.
Told the cabbie to bring them to the Conrad Hotel. They were only a two minute walk away but were in no state to get there unscathed .
Cane was in an absolute heap.
Good times.
Photos or it never happened
Swear to god. Read was wearing a dreadful short sleeved Hawaiian style shirt and chinos. He looked like someone’s drunk uncle..
Ok that sounds true.
And describes half this forum. -

We are due a good game of rugby with the South Africans.
2023 Twickenham was dire and so was the WC final.
Two of the most mistake ridden , disjointed games of rugby I've seen involving the ABs.And the refereeing/tmo involvement was a thundering disgrace.
I will never have that match mentioned without saying it.
Im still fucking seething over it.
Yup. They bottled it. Give Frizzlemynizzle the straight red he deserved and we’re probably not having this convo.
Hadn’t seen anyone carded for it before or since.
But I’m not one bit surprised seen as Mr Soak Tackle himself was holding the whistle.
Sent off the England Captain in the premiership final.
Sent off the Allblack Captain in the World Cup final.
A narcissist of the highest order..
Try this for a 6 game ban.. 3 months or so
Nothing in that for me. Play on.
Unnecessary
Dumb
Deserved everything he receivedTendency to get overexcited was always going to catch up with him. Wonder what he’s lessoned?

@MiketheSnow not often we agree on red cards, but that was incredibly dumb and dangerous.

All Blacks will get Caleb Clarke at the end of crossfield kicks to exploit SA's wingers..
Kolbe and KLA are smaller than Finlay Christie.
-
I really hope the second half structure doesn't turn to custard.
What with Saffa time wasting tactics of drink and injury breaks; along with a recent AB trend of subs and second half lack of structure this game could end up another dour spectacle. -

As long as those cross field kicks aren't in our own half...

has Cane played much with EB? I can't recall. The trio may actually work well together. Well, here's hoping.

Has ANYONE played much with EB is the more pertinent question.

Saffa backline is massively overrated on here, it's because they won the WC playing a methodical gameplan where everyone is the sum of their parts, and does only exactly what's required for them, the only ones who i'd pick in our 23 is either of Kriel and Dellende over ALB on the bench and Feinberg over Dmac at a stretch.
South Africa have better props and better bench locks & loosies but that's it.

Take it easy Fitzy.
De Allende would piss in ahead of Jordie. Class player. Kriel would probably force Reiko to the wing too.
First five is a coin toss.

Once that Crusaders culture gets imbedded it’s like a cult. Any decent clothes get confiscated and out come the moleskins and swandris.

Aw is halfback, wing and fullback. Yeah massively overrated. Like so massive like.
The whole South African team apart from Prop, Hooker, Lock, loose forwards, halfback, first five, midfield, wing and fullback is MASSIVELY overrated.

England are really fucking good and a team on the rise with an excellent coach.

Watch the RWC final again, their backs are limited and posed little threat to us despite 15 vs 14.
these players also versed our guys in Super Rugby and mostly got walked over.
France and Ireland certainly have better backlines than SA. England's is about par with them.
my theory is folks on here and our media give them too much respect because they're our traditional rivals and we have a unique relationship off the field.
