One thing Heyneke Meyer and the Boks have done right has been their interactions off the field...

South Africa’s Heyneke Meyer adds to inspiring images of Rugby World Cup

Meyer, one of the most passionate coaches in world sport, gave new meaning to the phrase ‘dignity in defeat’ against the All Blacks during a tournament which has enjoyed its fair share of Andrew Flintoff-Brett Lee style snapshots

It will be Lambie's 50th should he get on the field. A real pity so many of his caps have been spent on the bench, wasted talent.

Australia may have won the Rugby Championship, but New Zealand simply showed them where the Bledisloe Cup belongs. In my opinion New Zealand is coached to play team-per-team than an all-in-one game plan. I’m backing New Zealand to take the cup, not going to speculate on the score.
