yes and I don't have any front teeth as well.

so to understand the gist of the pun - the darker shots without the cream are the quotas and considered not to be real springbokkies?

I doubt it. It's a simple change of length of stud used in the boots. I think they complained last time as they were not prepared. This is the RWC. If they didn't prepare for that it's idiotic.

I think in some instances the studs are not going to make a difference, the inherent nature of the pitches are different.

also, after a few matches being played on it, I'm certain that its going to get worse.

I get the impression you're not gonna be in this thread a lot if you're only willing to talk about the rugby and not politics.

Same goes for me, so don't worry.

Does anyone know when the All Blacks will be announcing their team? I need to finalise my fantasy team.

..... not at all, shows we're more diverse now. Only thing in these rugby threads is provincialism (and rightly so), we all love our teams no matter the color so claims of racism really don't belong

I think Fiji might cause an upset later this evening.

The whole backline plays for top foreign clubs, so England will have to bring their A-game.

Well the first game of RWC07 was the unfancied Argies sticking it to France so anything can happen. Personally, I would LOVE to see it happen! :D

I suppose so. The pitch will take a hammering especially with the weather they have there. My assumption is that it would only impact the scrums to a certain degree. Apart from that it should not really be a problem.

Did you watch the England vs France warm up match on the 22/8/2015? Pitch was horrific! At one stage it looked like we were going to have uncontested scrums on account of the pitch tearing up!
