    Boyos by 1.
    They are Dragons.Red Dragons.

    And Jones of course.
    But only two in the starting 15. Not enough.

    Taulupe Faletau, now there is a good Welsh name if ever I saw one.

    Our official Rugby-Talk figures are staggeringly good in June already, not even half the month gone and we are already more than halfway to our best month ever on Rugby-Talk!

    Well over 33 000.00 visits to the site already… truly stunning!

    We should hit 66 000 or 67 000 visits this month, once again it should be an all-time high!

    Rugby-Talk is going places!

    @ grootblousmile:
    Well done Rudi, a testament to all the effort you have put in and well deserved.

    5 @ Stormersboy:
    Thanks man!

    In 2 months time Rugby-Talk will already be 5 years old… 13 August 2014.

    @GBS 4
    Congratulations
    Great stuff

  • 8

    Right, the AB’s and Wallabies both just snuck over the line, margin wise, so time for the Bokke to lay down the marker and win with a decent score

    @ nortierd:
    Just watched the France Wallabies recording, not much to fear from the McKenzie’s tenure imo
    It might be the Boks time this season after all with such a regression of the SH test teams?
    As Einstein said: “Everything is relativistic”
    😉

    I am still surprised that the Springboks play outside of the actual South Africa today, against Wales.

    We’re supposed to have Home Tests now, not away Tests in the Independent Republic of Kwa-Zulu Natal!

    Pleasure

    Doubt seriously that the Stadium is going to be close to capacity… seriously!

    Hope Guthro has a good game today.

    Bulls player with a Boishaai demeanour.

    It’s difficult to gauge whether the SH is on the decline or whether the NH is on the up, we must wait for the RC to get an idea.

    France just tried to not get a 50 pasting again, they only really played in the 79th minute to try and win a rugby game.

    Aus will learn from this, don’t get complacent and a week in test match rugby is a long time

    Every local fan will be on the B field hoping to catch a glimpse of Frans practicing his kicking for the SR and White catching the balls behind the posts.

    @ grootblousmile:
    And the people there will all be Wales supporters because Wynand Olivier is the 42nd member of the springbok squad.

  • 15

    Did anyone watch that Springbok Saga on TV? I just caught the end, it’s easy to forget but the springboks had a brilliant year last year, it is ridiculous how fickle some supporters are.

  • 16

    13 @ nortierd:
    but that only lasted 15 minutes, White took over the kicking an hour ago

    Of course, my mistake, I guess he is managing Fransie’s knee, so only 15 minutes for him.

    How does Jake manage to kick a ball when his foot is permanently in his mouth?

  • 18

    @ nortierd:
    Jake has spent the last hour giving the crowd that gathered a show on how the field isnt level enough, he will only kick from 8m in front of the goals all the other offers were at an offset of 4+ meters and Jake does not accept that, he wants to easy kick so people can believe he is the best kicker ever.

  • 19

    17 @ nortierd:
    Jake is unnaturally gifted, he kicks with the other foot, with the one foot still in his mouth!

    Delighted

    Naas hit the nail on the head, if you are invited to play for South Africa, play if you want to, if you decide you don’t want to play for the country, stay away.
    Kort en kragtig. I would add, once you decide to stay away, please stay away forever

  • 21

    @ MacroBok:
    18

    Isn’t he?
    I heard he decided not to take the 8m kick, someone offered him a 7m kick and he took that offer.

    Ambidextrous, useless with both feet

  • 22

    GBS, I think you are right, the turn out wont be too good from the locals, they are all saving their money for the SR final tickets

  • 23

    21 @ nortierd:
    hahaha

    he then told the crowd he will make the kick 100 times with his bare foot, it all fell apart after the 71st kick when people started noticing his foot was getting black and purple, and then he missed.

    Is that when he phoned Eddie Jones to come and save him and take the last 29 kicks?

    @MacroBok
    Lol, ons praat darem nou lekker stront, gaan seker nou nou hoor van iemand wat vir ons gaan se om te sjarrup

  • 26

    @ nortierd:
    Nope he told everyone he will do it next year.

  • 27

    They just showed the Stadium, 45 minutes before kick-off and the stadium is almost farking empty!!

    Jeeeez

    GBS en Macro, terwyl ek nou besig is om stront te praat, hier is n paar Brakkenjanpan stories…..

    Jy weet jy is in Brakpan as jou ouma verwag.
    As ‘n Brakpanner verby die dam loop gooi die eende vir hom brood.
    In Brakpan leer hulle net tot by 3 tel: 1liter brandewyn, 2 liter Coke, 3 liter Cortina.
    6-uur saans sluit Brakpanners hulle kinders in die huis toe sodat die honde buite kan speel.
    In Brakpan loop die honde twee-twee saam. Hulle is bang die kinders byt.
    As ‘n Brakpanner die Lotto wen, sit hy Ferrari mags op sy Ranger bakkie.
    Hoe weet jy iemand kom van Brakpan af? As hy dink “fast food” is om ‘n rooibok teen 150 km/h met sy Hilux bakkie te tref.
    Die deurmekaarste dag in Brakpan is Vadersdag!
    Brakpanners se huise lyk almal dieselfde — vensters is getint en fondasie gedrop.
    Jy word nie gebore met blou oë in Brakpan nie, jy moet baklei daarvoor, pappie!
    Hoekom sny Brakpanners hul honde se sterte af? Sodat, as skoonma kom kuier, daar geen teken van blydskap is nie.
    In Brakpan is die karre so warm, as jy die choke uittrek dan spin die spaarwiel!
    Wat is die toppunt van armoede in Brakpan? As jou ma “polony en kaas” op jou toebroodjies moet skryf met ‘n ‘koukie’ pen.
