      He should be good value on the after dinner circuit. That's a very good read. Thanks for providing that.

          I think this reply to a post about the dour game by an ex-RAF mate encompasses how shit this tour has been, from a rugby perspective, both on and off field. The poster is SA heritage, born in the UK tho. So supports Saracens, and England - but the Boks if it is not England.

          Agree Kiwi. The desire not to lose has sapped any joy out of the whole thing! Not convinced Gatland really ever had a "masterplan" for beating the Boks, just game to game......almost feels like a testimonial! The Boks seem to have made a aggression the tactic almost to the point of intent to harm. Overall, all feels a bit sad to me; sad for the players, sad for the fans, sad for the game!

          It really has been a utterly crap advert for rugby, with far more innovation off the field than on - of the tests there is more talk about the shit Rassie got up to, and citings/cards or lack of

            Is this legit?

            Taking taking rugby down a path it will be tough to come back from?

            This isn't where we want our game to go.

                    in all honesty, lets just fuck the South Africans off again like the 80s

                    Boring rugby. Mouthy pushy administrators. Deluded fans. Ref whinging extraordinaires. Back to exile with you blokes until you learn you're not actually better than everyone else. No one needs you. Fuck off.

                    people will cry about the "history" and the "intense historical rivalry" when in fact since the dawn of professionalism the ledger stands at an embarrassingly one-sided 40-1-15

                    take your NY lawyers (oooooh) and your anti-rugby and fuck off.

                      @mariner4life thanks. If you want to take the Springboks from nowhere to the top as a coach then you need to be innovative to deal with a lot of politics and coaching skills.

                      I dont agree with the videos or the involvement with the Americans (the ANC Stormers executives rejected them)

                      So expect the unexpected from Rassie & kie and be thankful for a strong rival.

                      He hasn't lost against the All Blacks in NZ and will meet up with Foster in a months time.

                                @majorrage Rassie took over after a 57-0 lossvfrom the All Blacks in NZ.

                                Since then there hasn't be much between the two. The biggest probably in the opening round at the WC but then he created history.

                                  Unanimous that Rassie rant was pathetic and damaging to the sport. The threat of NY lawyer action from the Sharks owner was viewed as possibly the one thing that could unite almost all of rugby behind the cesspit that is world rugby.

                                      Bernard Jackman looking quite the fool IMO. Finn played well and should probably have started with his scrumhalf judged on respective performances throughout this tour.
