Outrageous curve ball but if there’s not much on offer give Maurice Longbottom a contract and see what he can do in a professional 15’s environment

Yep, at the moment I’m quite enjoying reading everyone give it to South Africa for acting like pricks. Well overdue

Are you saying that what he said wasn’t 100% accurate?

Just heard rugby mentioned twice on Nova FM radio How good!!!

If the tahs can’t find a test quality lock surely guys like this are the next best thing, they’d be close to a bottom salary and on a one year deal you’d rather someone experienced than a first year rookie Personally Though I’d throw all logic out the window and just find the two baddest...

fitting replacement given the role SA played in cutting the Sunwolves Would be great to continue helping Japan on its journey to being a regular tier 1 nation

can merge all the threads together if youre wanting to avoid pointless arguing

Yes we get it, you only knew on October 10th that you can travel, that doesn't mean you start trying to plan things on October 10th. There was a decent chance you would be available to play otherwise they would have pulled the pin months ago in July when all this was getting sorted out and we...

no not particularly, a whole lot of this situation is the Springboks own doing *Players in Europe & Japan - This is the result of having a open door selection policy. It helped you greatly during the World Cup, while a pandemic isn't really a foreseeable outcome, its still a result of that...

Not really, it's just as self serving as the Aus and Kiwi perspectives

You cant pull this crap when your teams handed out caps to guys because of racial quotas over the last decade or more

No I’m sorry, you’re 100% correct South African Rugby have always been the shining light of being open, transparent and having their players best interests at the forefront of all their decision making

Absolute bullshit, as others have alluded to, it’s very much possible and safe for the players to play test match rugby on the level of games and training the SA players have had Hell with the amount of players they’d have to be bringing over they could essentially wheel out two seperate...

If we’ve learnt anything from SA involvement in super rugby, it’s that they aren’t the most logical or considerate organisation going around

It’s all anacdotal isn’t it, my partner has watched 5 games of Union in her life? If that? Without me speaking to her about it prior, asked if I was going to the pub to watch the wallabies play on Sunday The infos there, just got to pay some level of attention to what’s going on around you

What do you suggest would get your mate back on board then? Cause at the moment it doesn’t sound like anything short of the Wallabies starting to win every test match so he can jump straight back on that bandwagon, which has nothing to do with promotions or marketing

Didnt see anything on green and gold rugby? I’m not the biggest fan of Aus rugby marketing but jeez there’s only so much they can do
