Um, super rugby started last weekend! The fuck?

Only the second tier competition

Regards,
Lions Supporters

Congratulations to the Saders, class team. To the Lions and especially to coach Akkers, thank you for bringing pride back to Johannesburg rugby. Johan Ackerman you are a class gentleman.

Not the end of the world, the sun is rising tomorrow again.

And now the Swys era starts. See you lot next year.

Wazzup bitches, long time no speak.

Money talks and bullshit walks. Fourth time now that WorldRugby has kicked SARU in the balls. Wonder if they have the stamina to go for it in 2027? Or should they?

Question though is does any Southern Hemisphere nation have the capacity to increase on the so called £350 mil promised to WorldRugby by the frogs? I suspect WorldRugby is going to have to take a knock if they want to see the RWC in the Southern Hemisphere. So 3 RWC in the Nothern Hemisphere.

What irked me the most was that the CAR vote went to the Frogs, fucking useless pricks. Getting free boarding at SARU offices. Hope you get a fucking eviction notice, godam pricks.

Yip, apparently I was wrong, sold out signs are up.

Is that Paarlbok’s twitter?

No, he is a local rugby writer, very knowledgeable on the technical side of the game and can analyse the game very good, so no, not Oom PB. But Oom PB is doing good btw.

Jesus, some memories flooding back....

@taniwharugby said in Lions v Crusaders - Super Rugby Final:

they shoulda made k/o at 11.30am SA time to give us a more familiar viewing time.

Shurrup, I'm still sleeping then. 4pm suits me just fine thank you very much.

Tickets went on sale straight after the Lions v Canes game and there was a long queue to get them tickets. I don't suspect the full house signs will go up, but I reckon a respectable 50k supporters to pitch up.

@Chris-B. said in Super Rugby games 30 June-1 July (African conf only):

@Stargazer Even not conceding the bonus point could conceivably be helpful.

I'm not holding my breath though!

Currently a point per minute

@crucial
Lucky man, never got to see them. I did manage to see Meatloaf at Wembley before Wembley had it's revamp in the 90's.

@sidbarret said in All Blacks vs Springboks II:

@billy-webb correct.

The way Vermeulen is playing he stick around as long as he wants, but I think Roos is the clear successor at this point. Is he the finished article and will he be as good as peak Duane? No and hopefully - but I think is ready and can be fantastic player in his own right.

I don't like the Jasper Wiese selection - I am biased cause I don't like player debuting from overseas, but I haven't seen anything to suggest he is a long-term prospect, he is inaccurate and has bad discipline. It feels like a player where the coaches saw something that got them super hyped and now they continue to select him to justify his original selection.

Isn't Roos going overseas? Or is he sticking it out here?

Anyway, some lucky fan got Siya's boot's

@nta Keo is an Aussie.

He's a barking mad sexpest, first and foremost.
I have no idea where he was born or what he did prior to writing articles in a very pro-Bok way, but you can't claim he's anything but a South African.

Wasn’t he the bok media relations officer under Viljoen and Straueli? Which is fairly fucking funny now that I stop to think about it.

That clown is amongst the last people on earth I’d want by my side if I was fronting the rabid English press after I’d knocked my own teammate out while leading the boks to a historic humilification at Twickenham.

Maybe that’s harsh. I mean, he smoothed that whole Staaldraad thing over. Completely. It’s hardly even a national embarrassment.

Yup he was. He is the head troll for Twitter rugby, it's a toss up between him and that other muppet up North.

On a side note, will QC be awarded an Aussie passport if he manages to get a win over the Boks?

If Russell Crowe can't get an Aussie passport for bonking Meg Ryan, funding a Koala Chlamydia ward and fighting lions I doubt Quade will for evading tackling.

@oompb said in Wallabies vs Springboks I:

@g-man pretty sure all rugby countries have their own Keo versions. Bit silly to generalize their rugby knowledge.

Yes everybody has their own version of Keo, but Keo is just that special one unfortunately.

Still think it's not going to be easy for the Boks. The Aussies will be coming out firing with the kitchen sink and baby. Would not be surprised with the score if it is within a converted try.

Boks scrum will need to be firing at full cylinders.

Wasn't the Bok scrum dominant against the Lions?

'Tis was, but not as dominated during the RWC final

@oompb 6-2 bench?

Edit: so don't expect too much razzle-dazzle

Damian Willemse covers 1st 5, 2nd 5 and fullback.

If one of their wingers go off Lukhanyo Am covers wing and Willemse comes on to 2nd 5 and de Allande moves to centre.

Kwagga can also cover a position or 2 in the backline if needs be.

@g-man I can explain that, but I get told off around here for that sort of thing so I won't.

Probably time you got over the nomination honestly. It was a joke then, its still a joke now & this is a thread about planes which a lot of people enjoy.

Besides, it's not like @kirwan has stopped banging the Toeava or Akira drum ....

Either that or you are being sarcastic, and it's not showing over the internets ...

Aaaah true love...

Perhaps she has some hidden talents that we're not aware of?
