@khayelihlemngoma2393188likes1 commentI never understand this argument and debate about the need for "running rugby". Imagine saying oh no football is boring and we have to get rid of corners, throw-ins, offsides and penalties and everybody must play tiki-taka football. It's an insane discourse.

“I remember Huw Jones for the Stormers and WP. Absolutely gutted when he left. He was a proper player. Will never forget that performance in the Currie Cup final vs the Sharks.”
“I can't believe the 'controversy' in the Arg - Eng match is centred around not penalising a high tackle, when the officiating team missed someone getting punched in the face 4 minutes into the same game. It's clear on the highlights, and it's an automatic, no mitigation red card. Even the most pro 'handbags' rugby fan knows that if a punch gets captured on camera, the TMO is supposed to flag it and it's the end of that players game, for good reason. So Argentina legitimately should have been playing the whole game with 14 men, and I think it's self evident what that would have done to their chances of getting anywhere near a last minute draw. They should have been thanking the ref rather than bullying him, it's stupid that we're even arguing about them getting the short end of the stick.”
“Dan Biggar, you are smoking something. You're such a good guy... but you are totally discounting the skills the Boks showed”
“Huw Jones was a star for the Stormers, and has been ever since.”
“Its not NRL its union. RUGBY UNION!”
“To be honest I earmarked Huw for international duty very early on and I was gutted when I found out he wasn't a Saffa”
“Rassie needs a pay raise”
“That's something that isn't mentioned enough. Afrikaners in general are huge.”
“Felt like an exhibition match? They absolutely tore into one another at the end of a long and physically taxing series, add in the heat and humidity. It was brutal.”
“Pumas 11 punched Freeman in the face after his try. Should have been a straight red and Pumas playing with 14 for the remainder of the match.”
“That was no exhibition match fellas. That was a proper battle!”
“We had 11 line breaks in Baltimore. That was not because of the scrum. Arendse ghosted through their defence multiple times. Almost like selective memory.”
““Better rugby” is subjective…better rugby is winning rugby”
“If anything NZ vs SA showed how there’s room for two completely different styles and how what a spectacle it was seeing them clash. NZ passing was exceptional against the Blitz with I think the settled nature of the Boks combined with their set piece being the deciding factor. Can’t wait for the Autumn Tests”
“We not gonna talk about argentinas third try? When he didnt actually ground it”
“Borthwick should be on about 25K.”
“Congratulations boks solid win, that was a great game with a great atmosphere. It's 1 all, what a tour aye 🍻. Bring on round 3 Go the All Blacks”
“I enjoyed every aspect of the game and series. That's what this game has been about for over a 100 years.”
“This only works if it wasn't just Saffers making all the noise.”
“I don't think the record for the Springboks is that they are the holders for the RWC, the U20 Championship & the sevens at the same time. NZ did this first. I think the record is that they are currently back to back winners of all 3. Which is a first.”
“So, Freeman scores a try, he gets a fist in the face, we demonstrate a little bit, and Argentina get awarded a penalty. That sets the theme for the rest of the match. What does that say about the quality of the refereeing? The ref lost it completely throughout the rest of the match.”
“Imagine World Chess suddenly decided Rooks are boring and try to devalue them.”
“Huw Jones was a Newlands icon, and his partnership with Damian De Allende was formidable.”
“Fair play to him if he is getting that much. Imagine what he could get if he was a top player.”
