    Least surprising news ever.

    Handre Pollard to join Springboks’ RWC squad in Paris

    Handre Pollard to join Springboks’ RWC squad in Paris

    Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard will join the national team in Paris on Monday after being called into the squad to fill the vacancy created by hooker Malcolm Marx, who was ruled out of the Rugby World Cup in France earlier this week due to a knee injury.

    They now have Bongi, and two flankers covering hooker.

    I'm looking forward to Italy v Uruguay; and Georgia v Portugal

    Could be two upsets on the cards based on Week 2

    Apart from the soapy water bit any one of us on here could have written that

    A handy Presidents grade team. Fozzie missed the cut.

    I don't know that any of us would have written this and said it encompassed the All Blacks

    The big teams kick a lot but it’s more how they kick, when they kick and the accuracy with which they do it. Very rarely is it aimless, unless they’re under pressure, it’s all about playing in the right areas, limiting the amount of phases in parts of the field where they’re susceptible to turnovers because the breakdown is so fiercely contested

    Did Townsend or that other made up name ever play 10 and take the Shield off a dominant Auckland team?

    Can’t speak for the other guy but Townsend was too busy being awesome against France

    @Machpants Started watching some of the final tonight. Frizell is really shit player, but the yellow card against him was such a fucking joke. Absolutely made up bullshit.

    "Put his weight down on his lower body." It was a collision in the cleanout, and he impacted a player. Like every ruck. FUCK ME. The game is in massive trouble if that is the international standard.

    The penalty against Savea that gave SA their 3rd penalty goal - "no clear release", he wasn't the tackler. FFS.
