@Steven-Harris or any back with a huge boot.....
Or wanting to kick it long

Jeez I love rugby played by two great teams.
SA has more upside IMO. The bomb squad and SA backline defence seriously awesome.
Ref high praise. -

@Billy-Tell there's going to be 8 or 9 days between the Uruguay game and the quarter. If we beat Italy roll the top team out again vs Uruguay.
Max for one half though. Don’t need a Dupont like injury while well ahead
-
Is that the best pool match of all time?
Off the top of my head I can’t think of a better one for quality of opponents

World number 1 Vs no 2. Yeah never happened before and hopefully won't happen again

Helluva match by Ireland. They could’ve won by far more if their lineouts hadn’t been total gash.
Books would've won if they had a kicker and a spare hooker. At least you'll have one of those missing pieces for the rest of the tournament
-
Assuming we meet Ireland in the quarter, both sides have a monkey to shake: Ireland their quarter hoodoo and us with Ireland having the better of us the past handful of encounters

@akan004 may as we’ll go home now then, as SA will likely now be on the other side of the draw from NZ unless Scotland pull off a shock
Not out of the question. Ireland will be pretty fucked after that game.

@taniwharugby sounds like the exact same scenario as 2019
-
The Kiwi Irish are stars in green.
Why have we struggled? -
@BerniesCorner not enough Irish Kiwis?

Why have we struggled?Our coach is an absolute muppet.
Super Rugby no longer prepares players terribly well for Test match footy.
