    Some French media say that Dupont may have a possible orbital floor fracture. Nothing confirmed, obviously.

    @Billy-Tell is that a romp for you? 😬

    Any score that leads to a Romp is good by me 🙂

    That poor bastard has taken a few hits in his time, probably Farrells training partner.

    Just on Namibia and their competitiveness. Are there any top young players there who won't try to play for the Springboks? Same with Zimbabwe. What realistic chance do they ever have of getting any better?

    What I'm saying is that on the off chance that Namibia or Zimbabwe produces a world class player, he'll probably play for the Boks.

    Could make the second African side an African “lions” side. But goes against the philosophy of individual countries

    Or Australia. Gregan was half-Zimbabwean.

    And 100% Zambian.

    David Pocock however was Zimbabwean.

    The majority of the Namibian squad plays rugby outside of Namibia, but not necessarily at the highest level. A couple for Top 14 teams in France and Hardwick for the Rebels being the exceptions.

    Not sure his current passport status. Do think he is no longer playing.

    So he's no longer half-Zimbabwean because he stopped playing?

    In terms of being a rugby player/Wallaby/playing for teams other than his country of birth or country he was eligible for I used the past tense, am happy to use the present tense if that can set your mind at ease.

    SA no longer has star player Marx, famous for his invisible bridging at rucks, France may not have playmaker Dupont, and NZ does not have its closest equivalent, winger in slow-mo, George Bridge. For France and NZ, is it now a bridge too far?
