Re: The Rugby Union Thread
It's strange that the Bokke and Proteas are always criticised for being 'too white' and non-representative yet nothing is ever mentioned about Bafana Bafana being predominantly non-white
Some of the best players to ever represent us in Rugby and Cricket in the last 20 years are not white - and I couldn't be more proud of them

This shit is never going to go away and you're right that it has made the task much harder for the Bokke to win the WC

Re: Rugby World Cup 2015 Poll
I voted Australia. Statistically it should be won by New Zealand. But New Zealand often seem to have a challenge with statistics.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2015 Poll
I want England, but head says Ireland...pull of the hemisphere to beat out Australia....
Though it would also be good for one of the small islanders to do well as well.

I really don't see many chinks in the Kiwi armour despite their bad world cup record and the French nemisis being in there somewhere.
