Last time Australia, South Africa and New Zealand all lost on the same day was in November 2002.
I was just about to say this has not been a good weekend for the traditional SH powerhouses.

The return legs in June will be interesting.
The boks miss Faf a bit I think. Wobs copped some injuries. AB rotation affected their cohesion.

@kruse agreed
i will add that as the premier rugby team in the world...we should be preparing for that, you dont rock up on a rainy day in turf boots and complain things should be different
The advice in the post was good but this didn't age well.

@nostrildamus sorry, should have added “former” or “aspiring”

Such a top level troll, I laughed!
He’s still a cock but that was pretty well played ( if it’s actually him )

@machpants We've given the Walrus so much shit over the years that frankly I don't mind him enjoying this moment (this era?) of Northern Hemisphere Rugby supremacy.

Didn't we beat Wales? Or is he only Welsh when it suits him?

@nostrildamus The All Blacks have beaten Wales every time they've played them since 1953, including a heavy win against a Wales team (with a few o f their best players unavailable) on this tour.

He’s any nation that beats the All Blacks. So I’m sure he’s become Irish and Argentinian in the last few years.
The one consistent is how much of a talentless cock he is though.

Total obvious troll all right.
As much as we are dumping on the ABs all of the NH teams had to play very well to beat their SH counterparts. Somehow that isn't quality opposition?

@voodoo said in The State of the Game:
Home-town calls or are we southerners just a bunch of dirty bastards?
that is interesting, or does that say more about the consistency of application of the laws applied by refs from the southern hemisphere versus their northern hemsiphere brothers when playing here?
