No faith in manie and a couple others ... they have lots to prove and I hope they do without backfooting us

Where'd I insult you? I'm not the one insisting I know better than the guy who's been primarily responsible for winning the last two world cups.

Ok then so we all just shut up no matter what Rassie does, ever. Don't be silly.

This is a forum for debate, stop stifling it, or just ignore it rather. You don't have to respond.

I hear that. I just think we should put the Championship to bed. Win it and be done with it. Especially given Arg wins over the AB and Aus. Underestimating them could be a bad idea.

Then we can rest the whole team if he wants to.

Yeah, there's an element of risk but not so much...

PS Rassie's not under estimating them. He backs his squad to get the job done. If anything he might over rate some of his own players....

You do realise that is possible to debate and discuss without thinking you know better, especially since we don't have access to anything close to the data the coaches have available and nor do we have insight into the planning/thinking processes involved.

If in your mind the only options are to criticize what you don't understand or shut up then, yes, I'd suggest you stick to the latter.
 
Haven't seen it posted here yet - it looks likely that there'll be no rugby championship in 2026, 2028, 2030 with old school stand alone tours taking place in those years instead. Initial reports say it'll pretty much be SA vs NZ tours for us with Aus being left to fend for themselves.

Who TF made YOU the thread police? Nobody here thinks they "know better" than Rassie...because nobody here can know better than him, obviously.

People have their own OPINIONS about team selections and strategies. That is what this thread is for...not just to suck Rassie's dick all day long.

So calm you tits for a change.

"Rassie should know better" says otherwise.

Have you read the rest of the laws you posted yet?

The RC as a whole may be under threat. Some interesting observations from Brenden Nel

TALKING POINT: With Australia imploding, has the Rugby Championship run course? | SuperSport

With Australia’s implosion in Sante Fe at the weekend and the reminder over the past two weeks of how great a traditional rivalry between the Springboks and All Blacks can be, is it time to ask: Is this the beginning of the end of the Rugby Championship?

May be?

It's already been decided that it's over.

You still crying about the Bong try and the fact you have no idea about rugby rules at all?

It was a try and confirmed as such.

You're quick to deflect. I never said it wasn't a try, and obviously never cried about it. So either your memory is fading badly, or you're being deliberately dishonest. And then you're saying I don't know the rules when you won't even read the very same rule you posted a screenshot of. :confused:

You were moaning about "downward pressure".
I posted the rule that shows no downward pressure is required.

You ignored that obvious rule and started crying about other rules.

You also ignored the fact that downward pressure is a MEANS of scoring, but not REQUIRED.

So I wonder who's actually being deliberately dishonest?

Die on this hill if you want to...I honestly don't care.

In a nutshell: you're wrong.

Never said I know better. That's why at the end of my sentence when referring to Rassie I put "IMO".

We all have opinions. We can all be wrong.

Still don't actually know what you are on about, I was just voicing my opinion and you came in like the headmaster and told me to shut up as I don't know better than Rassie. Weird.
