@MiketheSnow I've only just tried to read the article and gave up after the shitty page pop-ups and ads still hadn't finished loading by the time I'd managed to eventually get down to blindside with far too much effort than should have been required.
Didn't miss much
Usual suspects -
@Bovidae said in NH International Rugby:
@Rapido Ian McLauchlan was his name. Before my rugby watching.
I would probably pick Os du Randt at LH prop.
McGeechan didn't select as many old timers as I thought.
Os was the LH in that 97 series.
Tom Smith got the better of Adrian Garvey

I know.
As you say, the problem was on the other side of the scrum.Just saying Os would be picked ahead of Smith in my top XV.

Dawson’s bunny. He practically wrote him a cheque as he was buying that dummy.

Great play, but hardly consigns Teichmann to the scrap heap.
It was a No.8 backtracking against a No. 9 after all

"However the two parties have now agreed a new deal, which will protect the lowest earners in the Irish game." Minimum potatoes guaranteed.
Rugby Players Ireland finally agree new pay deal with IRFU after weeks of talks
Rugby players in Ireland had been on a pay deferral scheme since March, when the coronavirus pandemic saw rugby seasons suspended across the globe.
To be honest, same with every case of reduced wages in rugby I've seen reports on, a big push by the big names to make sure the Jo average pro doesn't get shafted. Which is good to see

@MiketheSnow No, undoubtedly a good player but what do most people remember him for? Unfair but...

Captaining SA to unbeaten Tri Nations season and 17 wins on the bounce in my house.
He captained the Springboks in 39 tests between 1996 and 1999 with 27 of those (72%) ending in victory.
-
@MiketheSnow was he the captain when SA lost their first series at home?
