Bulls win. Leinster suck

Davies earns rookie of the year award, but unfortunately got landed on by another rider after crossing into the other riders line… nowhere to go for the already airborne Smith. Broken nose and arm for Davies

PSdT deservedly MOTM performance. That try looked like a knock, so was freakish. He had a perfect game. Glad Eben got this. Libbok after a week of critics played well.

@SidBarret oh I thought Faure Stadium has been named after your Oupa? I can be wrong , blame the age.

@Bovidae said in Americas cup:

So no more cyclors (halving the crew number), and they've sold their souls even more to have wannabe influencers on board.

So the best battery tech wins..?

@Kruse six months is the going rate for doing something more or less everyone else is doing ineffectually (but according to Rugby’s sumptuary etiquette) in a way that is effective but aggravates the pearlclutchers.

And Aussie fans should be delighted if their coach catches 6 hard - every other coach who has, has gone on to win the next RWC.

Sadly, doubt Joe was gaming the subs. Nothing I’ve seen from teams he’s coached suggests he has the nuts and/or diabolical cunning. Which is a shame. Rugby needs a devilishly cunning Aussie team prepared to do whatever it takes to win completely. fuck up the scrum for two decades to win five or six games - of course, sandpaper cricket balls, bowl underarm, sing Waltzing Matilda after the Haka - if it means a single, one point win over Georgia, yes 100%.

Squidge take. My take the boks are looking ominous as fuck

I think the NZ sides were far better with the travel factor - though they did have years of practice. The current SA URC sides aren't great but Leinster etc struggle to play in SA.
