A word for Deon Fourie. Bok debut at 36. Was behind Smit, Bismarck, Brits, Marx, Mbonambi at hooker during his career. Moved to flanker. Made Boks squad. 77 minutes in the final at hooker and won it 💪

Makazole Mapimpi's wife is due to give birth any day which is why he has not linked up with the Springboks this week. Family always so important for this team so never an option to miss the birth of his child. Canan Moodie gets his chance.

Sbu Nkosi played in the semi-final win against Wales in 2019. Therefore that result should be scrubbed, Wales given the win, & we can all assume based on the 2019 6 Nations Wales would have beaten England in the final, So award them the World Cup

This is where the draw really screws France, because topping the pool should give them an easier Quarter final. So even if Antoine Dupont's injured for the Quarter, they should be to beat an England or a Scotland or an Argentina. But they'll either have SA or Ireland

Champions Cup should be 20 teams Top 8 from URC Top 7 from Top 14 Top 5 from Premiership 4 pools of 5 or 5 of 4 with home & away how it used to be. 5 pool winners + 3/5 runners up so other games can affect your team so you watch them Then Quarter finals. 8/20 make it through

Imagine if World Rugby did a tackle of the year as well as a try of the year? I started watching Rugby in 2003, & after considering many tackles from & against that England team, Wilkinson, Lewsey, Tindall, Giteau, I remembered this classic from Brian Lima which surely wins?
