The top 4 teams all making it to the semifinals of a competition is not good for the competition. You need 3 of the top 4 teams and one team slightly less good (6-12) that shoots the lights out and will probably be outclassed in the semis (like Morocco).

“Everyone loves Milkshake Duck” etc etc

THEY MADE HANDRE POLLARD MAN OF THE MATCH???????

I never doubted you, king 👑 that France 10 jersey is yours again

Another factor for Italy’s performance is Paolo Garbisi’s long hair. Why is he looking like young Francois Steyn?

Another 22m entry opportunity missed for Italy:

54 gain line carries. 150 passes. 4 kicks. That’s a lot of effort expanded in attack for not a lot of gain.

“Why isn’t the All Black attack as good as it was last week?” It’s a little easier to be good when your opponent allows 81% of your rucks to have quick ball like France did last week. Italy’s line speed and counter rucking has made a massive difference. The All Blacks look very Razor-y again.

HITLER DEAD!

Just saying if I’M Scotland and I got the URC All Stars XV for a test match I wouldn’t take that lying down.

Borthwick roulette and today we have: 🏉 3 locks instead of the 3 fetchers experiment 🏉 Freemo at 13 again 🏉 Not picking your in form centres in Ojomoh and Slade 🏉 Opoku-Fordjour covering tighthead instead of loosehead 🏉 Furbank finally playing 15 🏉 All of the captains and vices are in the pack 🤔

Springboks battling to sell out Ellis Park for this England game this weekend. Apparently the war in Iran is the reason why tickets have been expensive even before the war started. Another 75% filled stadium for a Springbok game because of greed. Disgraceful.

Welcome to Nations Championship Week! 🇿🇦 first out the block with a team announcement. Libbok at 10 the big starting call. Bench is interesting with a 5-3 split, Hanekom, Wessels and Porthen getting big chances and PSDT as lock cover and Willemse as 10 cover.

So incredibly proud of Bafana Bafana last night. Resolute defensively. Mbekezeli Mbokazi was titanic. Ronwen Williams, what a leader. We are part of the bigger boys of men’s football again. Now, let’s get back into the top 30 🌍.

Well first you need to beef with our Sports Minister

Bingo

The vibes are not great for South Africa.

There’s no rugby country that respects your retirement less than Australian rugby. Joe Schmidt, Nic White, now James Slipper

Trump and his nicknames:

Bulls have gone unchanged for the Final. I don’t love persisting with Moodie at 13, Jacobs at 11 and Van Staden as the reserve hooker. I would’ve had Gans at 13 and move Moodie to the wing and Akker instead of Carr on the bench. But at least Moodie is matched up against another fake 13 in Rieko.

I don’t think the Springbok women have ever had a better set of home fixtures ever! Will definitely watch them in Cape Town v Ireland and (maybe) in Soweto v the Black Ferns. Proper building steps to 2029.

France A Squad v England XV on Saturday (decent indication for the NZ tour squad). My 23: Poirot Lamothe Montagne Palu Bochaton(?) Capilla Gazzotti Guillard Le Garrec Despérès Ambadiang Moefana Depoortere Arfeuil Attisogbe Massa Wardi Falatea Staniforth Tixeront Jauneau Brau-Boirie Ferte

Look at the URC Champions edition. Inadvertently packed my team with NZ born backline players that play for Ireland. I can report that Justin Tipuric is NOT considered an Ospreys legend by the game @squidgerugby.bsky.social
