You know, looking back at that incident, it looks like Lomu has arrived from the future, where a guy like that has so much speed and power than anyone of his generation. South Africa have built a squad of these titans and maintain the quality throughout the game, deliberately grinding the opposition to dust in the final quarter: the swine only led England for less than three bloody minutes but that was all it took.
I wonder should the RFU look around the league to see how England will rebuild for the next tournament where that kind of player will become an essential part of a winning team - do you follow Rugby League? I thought it was mandatory for anyone north of Sheffield...

Thought they tried that but let him go to manage Ireland.
Used to watch it in the days of Billy Boston but never really took to it even though it's a lot faster game.

South Africans don't have humanas they have boulders - Esteban and Bongi etc

Their pack is just too powerful.

I watched it in the days of Eddie Waring....not much else on on a Wintery Saturday afternoon in the 70s, but not so much since then. It's a faster game now for sure. They learned a lot from the NFL - pace and power, is the way of it now. The Aussies of the early 80s changed everything, i think.

It's all under the carpet now.

RFU reacts with fury to World Rugby ending Mbonambi case without hearing

RFU has said it is ‘deeply disappointed’ there will not be a hearing by an independent disciplinary panel into Tom Curry’s claim of racial abuse

The Afrikaans phrase “Watter kant?”, which translates as “Which side?”, can be heard and the video has been construed as South Africa making light of the situation. It has been speculated that during the semi-final Mbonambi might have used a similar Afrikaans phrase, “wit kant”, meaning “white side”, a reference to England’s shirts.

Maybe Curry misunderstood?

Too bl00dy right

Maybe Curry misunderstood?

Shouldn't that be rephrased to Curry misunderstood.

 

[Odds]

That'll be the polite version the RFU will have to accept.
Their coach is a well known sh!t stirrer and these South Africans have proven time and again there's no limit to what they'll do to retain the World Cup.

Not a lot you can say about last night's game.

 

[Odds]

We won, yes?
A third place finish is as good as i expected - and it's always fun to rub the Argies nose in it.

The bok's are going to win it all, aren't they?

I like to see the Argies coming up inbthe world of Rugby as well as the likes of Fiji

International rugby union needs a bit of a shake up, I reckon.

Over 30s only.
Bodyfat percentage must be higher than 20%.
Banned from next game unless you drink ten pints through a team mate's grippers, post-match.

That sort of thing

The Argies are like the Aussies - they must be beaten to maintain the natural order in the world.
Fiji were this years fun team in the tournament. Last time it was Japan, next time...Tonga?
