              Laporte absolutely hates NZR for not letting the French clubs sign up current ABs. He'd love to fuck over the ABs.

              That said I' d be surprised if Bok fans would rather play in some Mickey Mouse tournament rather than their Old Foe. IMHO the Boks against the ABs is the greatest rivalry in any sport.

                          It's not whether I'm a fan or not.

                          It's that you have invented an opinion you think he holds and then invented a ridiculous motivation for his invented opinion.

                            @sparky I think you’ll find their fan base is pretty sick of the site of us and IMO many NZ fans are bored as shit with the Springboks. I am one of them.

                            The RC has become stagnant. Adding the Argies was good but it’s not the spectacle it once was.

                                    Really?

                                    That's interesting. I'm not sick of it. Boks twice a year is fine and they are one of the few teams that really challenge us and always have historically.

                                    If it is stagnant, what would you change? The 5 nations still seems to captivate fans (deliberately left out the 6th one, like the Force, they add nothing).

                                      @Snowy Me too. Boks had a real down period where they were as bad as Ozzie. But I want to knock them off their No 1 rankiing perch, and beating RWC holders always good! They also play a dif style which we need exposure to, IMO

                                        @sparky I think you’ll find their fan base is pretty sick of the site of us and IMO many NZ fans are bored as shit with the Springboks. I am one of them.

                                        The RC has become stagnant. Adding the Argies was good but it’s not the spectacle it once was.

                                        Really?

                                        That's interesting. I'm not sick of it. Boks twice a year is fine and they are one of the few teams that really challenge us and always have historically.

                                        If it is stagnant, what would you change? The 5 nations still seems to captivate fans (deliberately left out the 6th one, like the Force, they add nothing).

                                          @Snowy I think there would be a majority of NZ fans that feel the same as you do mate. But there are more and more of us that are over TRC.
