Hi isthatrightref,

That other lot you refer to must be the AB's. The Boks don't have a 5/8th, they have a fly half. But a good description of AB rugby anyway.

Hi Prince aka the poster formally known as APV1

I will try to be more obnoxious and brain-dead in my posts. Sorry to dissapoint you your majesty.

The reason why a number of us have added the 2 behind our usernames is due to some problem on PR last weekend which deleated our posts and barred us from entering any further posts under our usual name. We all had to re-register, and adding the 2 still meant we were identifiable.

@ JayStarr - it will really depend on how much the dirty Saffas go out baying for blood, especially in the mid-week games. As is an accepted fact, all Saffas are dirty cheats. No debate there. But what England need to watch out for is their deliberate maiming tactics, as employed in previous tours. Add in a couple of biased refs (for once in the Boks' favour!) and some food poisoning and we could be in for a cracking tour.

@ isthatrightref - I think you could be right. If we check out the London 7s this weekend, you'll see it being trialled, just in time for the tour.

Unfortunately the colours often run and it just looks black. All black. With a red rose on it. That's what happened in the RWC. Obviously.

@ APV1... any truth to the rumour that Ringinland's new alternate strip will be predominantly green with narrow gold, black & white hoops? And that the Rose will be framed by the Southern Cross (inverted of course)?

And another thing...

@ Stellenbosched2 - you say that, "The one problem I have with PR's team of the week is that I can't comment on it. To be fair, you have to watch every match played the previous weekend."

What rot! As a good example of this myself, you don't have to know anything about anything to have an opinion. In fact, knowledge of the subject often renders you rediculous on a forum such as this.

I think you need to spend less time watching / reading about and / or playing rugby and more time having ill-infomed opinions about it.

Slacker!

Heh Stellenbosched2 liked that but can we cannot include Trinats in that as he only plays with himself! Trinats assertion that he and his mates (he has mates?) watches a Friday night game at 4pm seems a bit strange given that the games from NZ on Friday night start at 5:30pm AEST. The only place he is watching live at 4:00pm in Oz would be in the Northern Territory, yet he prattles on about "one of the advantages of living on the east coast". So either Trinats has his times all confused and given his usual state of confusion that is quite possible or this rabid Queenslander doesn't even live in Queensland? This of course may not be news and perhaps I have missed it before but Trinats is like some of those Queensland rugby players who left the place for a better life. Nothing wrong with that but has he been pretending all this time. Explain please Trinats????

APV1 you are a very funny actually I hope you are right this year because everyone in the SH is sick of us always belting the bejesus out of you NH wallys. Unfortunately England have no chance and while I would like to see history made before I move to a (hopefully) higher plane it won't be this year and this Irish team, Wales may have a sniff but unlikely.

Trinats mate I watch all the games even the Saffa games, a small consolation and benefit of being the dad.

IMO instead of the list PR has come up with I would have these blokes in their respective positions.

14 Henry Speight (Brumbies)

10 Pat Lambie (Sharks)

8 Josh Strauss (Lions)

7 Liam Gill (Reds)

4 Scott Fardy (Brumbies)

Mate I hear what you saying about Higgers, he is exceptional no doubt but Strauss single handedly kept the Lions in a game against the top performing team at the moment. Completely agree that Gill was the stand-out 7, only a certain gentleman with a musical instrument in his mouth missed this.

M elbourne were rubbish. Again.

E veryone played badly. Again.

D id anyone actually watch the (not very) Super matches?

I n my opinion, all SH teams and players are worthless.

O bviously some of you will beg to differ. But you'll all be wrong. Again.

C onsider this fair warning - the Big 3 from the NH are coming!

R un, whilst you still can.

E ngland are the best in the world. Fact.

@ swiwi: exactly!

@ Trinats2: Are you the imposter Trinats... or the new and improved Trinats..? Anyway, TJ Perenarra gave one of the best scrum-half performances I have seen in a very long time... The things he did brilliantly had little to do with the weakness of their opponents. As for Higgenbotham - I completely respect him, think he's a brilliant player when on form and think he had a very good game this weekend... All I'm saying is that Josh Strauss and Marcell Coetzee were absolutely immense and should've been there ahead of Higgenbotham.

@ kiwilad: Cory Jane was fantastic - I agree - but Henry Speight was terrorising the Waratahs... His best game for the Brumbies in my opinion - and certainly the best performance from a wing this weekend. He looked dangerous every time he touched the ball - no other wing did this weekend.

@ Stellenbosched2: Are you the imposter Stellenbosched... or the new and improved Stellenbosched..? Anyway, I watch all the games every weekend - and then all the highlights on Boots & All and Re:Union :P And yes, I'm not married... (thank god). Lol. I record the games on pvr though, so I can fast-forward through all the stoppages, scrum resets, etc., so it takes me less than an hour to watch a game... So if you did it like that, I'm sure you could get all the games watched before the end of the weekend! It's no more than 2 hours a day.

The one problem I have with PR's team of the week is that I can't comment on it. To be fair, you have to watch every match played the previous weekend. This obviously excludes 90% of married men (the other 10% are soon to be divorced I would suspect), and anyone who plays sport themselves and cannot be in front of the TV all day.
