These guys. Words cannot do anything they’ve done justice. They took the Springboks & this country from dark times to being the greatest World Cup team of all time. 2 World Cups & a Lions Tour. They conquered & carried a nation along the way, & they did it their way

Oh & the WORST was how they chose the new ruler on a good story “Bran the Broken”. Not “Jon the survivor of being stabbed multiple times, rider of dragons, defender of the the wall, uniter of the people, killer of whitewalkers, boner then killer of Tyrant, saviour of human race”

Rassie is 1 of the leading rugby brains on the planet. If World Rugby wants to know what’s standing in the way of the game, it’s inconsistent calls that are drastically changing the outcomes of a match. He’s taking on a fight that very few countries have the clout or balls to do.

The reality is that Curry’s ignorance has been weaponised/manipulated by media/people looking to derail the Springbok campaign. It’s a different angle of attack each week. From death threats to character assassination, and people wonder why we’re so defiant as a nation.

Kwagga has to be one of our most reliable players. Every time he comes on, he makes a difference. Whether it’s a turnover on our line or a break up the midfield which leads to a try, he makes proper impact.

Curry has an obligation to set things right & not hide in the wake of an event that has marred the game. A simple “It was a misunderstanding in the heat of the moment. I’m aware now. Bongi & I have spoken. He’s a great man & I wish the Boks all the best for Saturday.”

Nienaber has lost the attitude Rassie brought. Boks are lost. Siya’s lack of visible captaincy is a concern. Can’t speak to tactics because we haven’t seen anything. Terrible selection policy. Dweba starting is madness. Senior players failing at every stage. Dark days for Boks.

This is such a Kak thing to do. It creates animosity towards a person who plays a vital part of the game. In a game this big, everyone will make mistakes. He did a solid job. Boks only have themselves to blame.

Undeniable. That’s what we had to be and that’s what we were. From start to finish. It was us against the world, and the Boks smiled back with purpose. Anyone who doubted us, knows nothing of the South African spirit. Heres to the Springboks. Champions of the World.

It seems the only way the world can beat the Boks is to literally remove them from the game. Remove the Director of Rugby from everything, remove the best players in the world from the Awards, in the same week. Coincidence?
An independent misconduct committee has found that behaviour displayed by SA Rugby Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus towards match officials during this year’s test series between South Africa and the British and Irish Lions constituted misconduct.

A key difference is that most players play the player, Kwagga plays the ball. Huge sevens influence coming in. Everything he does is focussed on the ball - in the tackle, at the ruck and in the carry.

Siya Kolisi is a 1 of a kind. There are few moments when a sportsman ascends the game & becomes something far greater. Siya is more than a player & Captain. He is an inspiration & a leader of a nation. Humble & hardworking, strong & compassionate. He is a living legend

Rugby has become very analytical with cleverly devised gameplans that map out every minute of the game, but at the end of the day it still comes down to 2 teams courageously throwing everything they can at each other. It will always be a game of heart.

In terms of non-boring rugby, France & Japan are great to watch but with the flair comes failure. NZ are always exciting, but they came 3rd in the last World Cup & drew to the Lions in NZ. Anyone can score. Few can keep the tries out. Now that’s exciting.

Rugby is simple. Smash each other for 80 minutes, shake hands, accept the outcome, pay respect to the other team and look forward to the next game. This isn't a Bok thing. This is for the sake of the game we love. If the system isn't working, then time to upgrade.

World Rugby: “It should have been a try, even though there was a knock on, which is kinda part of the game, but forget about that, the try was a try, but not really because of the knock on, but NZ are crying a lot and the Boks hammered them before, so the ABs need a hug…”

Some valid points but the reality is that the Boks didn’t enter this series to demonstrate a new brand of rugby. They came to win. The Bok coaches demonstrated rugby intelligence by knowing their own strengths and working that. It’s a work in progress, but there is progress.
