The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

I'm all in on old school tours but it does become a bit of a farce when the mid week games are against token opposition.

Only the second rime ever the Schmucks played the All blacks.
Fans and team are an embarrassment as per usual.

Instead giving the schmucks a game again, SARU should rather give a game to an invitation side and play it at Bloemfontein or Nelspruit where people will show up and appreciate it.

Considering how many of the shurks players are leaving - around 4 players joining the Bulls.

They have fallen so far from grace it's a shitshow, so much wasted talent there.

But yes, Nelspruit deserved a game from the tour.

There used to be a South African universities team that played touring teams. That would be a better option than wasting a once in a lifetime opportunity on Durban.
 
I was not expecting much from the Sharks and was still disappointed.

Why the hell would you send, at best, a 3rd string side against the All Blacks.
 
Things might go worse for the Bulls. They are likely to tire first, even at altitude, and I don't think they are going to be playing in a lake, so the All Blacks could fire even better over the weekend.

Bulls might field a half decent side. Embrose, Curwin Bosch, Harold, Stedman, Jooste, Willie le Roux, Marcell, Hanro Liebenberg, Rudolph... not sure what their tight 5 will look like, most are Boks...

Wonder when they're naming their side?

I'm happy for Brannas and have nothing against him. Great player. But the man is pushing 40. What is the benefit of having him still in the Bok setup. We have an over abundance of loose forwards as it is. Not understanding the thinking here.
