The Rugby Pod

I 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.

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

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.
