Number of Games in Professional Rugby Union Leagues:
➡️ Top 14* - 37 Games
➡️ ProD2 - 33
➡️ URC* - 29
➡️ Premiership* - 28
➡️ Japan RLO - 18
➡️ Super Rugby - 17
Facts, and what those Facts logically entail, so often get lost in Rugby debates.
(*including European Cup)
Cam Roigard is a very good player, but he’s not special or generational.
Not sure he’s better than Lucu or Gibson-Park, let alone Dupont.
Jalibert: the best Fly-Half in Rugby by a mile currently.
Put him in a Springbok or All Black jersey, and that team wins this Series 4-0.
Something so tiresome and tacky about these constant Springboks antics.
A deeply unloveable team for anything other than South Africans.
That’s the difference with the great All Black sides. Everyone loved them.
Changes to the Bok team to face the All Blacks in Cape Town will see Deon Fourie, Gerhard Steenekamp, and Thomas du Toit start the match in the front row, while Malcolm Marx, Ox Nche, and Wilco Louw will switch to the replacements bench 🔁

People committed suicide before Social Media, but probably not in these kinds of low-stakes circumstances.
His bullshitting was hardly that heinous. Sociology itself is complete bullshit anyway. Not as if he faked his way into brain surgery.
Springboks Achilles’ Heel: they don’t have any World-Class Half-Backs.
Their lack of Depth at Scrum-Half is alarming. Like, Van den Berg has no business playing Professionally, let alone Test Rugby.
That’s the (only) chink in their armour. Hope for their rivals.

How is it that in all the BBC reporting on Jason Arday, the “fact checkers” and “misinformation experts” at BBC Verify - with their 60+ staff and £3m budget - have been nowhere to be seen…🤔
If you only followed BBC reporting on this you’d have no idea what’s actually going on
Cortez Ratima, Matt Proctor and the likes wouldn’t have been Super Rugby players in the past, let alone All Blacks.
Drastic decline in Depth.

This was about a year ago. It is the smartest thing Trump has said about the Israel/Iran conflict.
Toulouse’s 1st-choice Backline next season. Significantly better than any Test team currently, let alone Club.

Great Tournament so far the Nations Championship, but…
So easily improved with the French/TRC Bonus-Point system.
Keeps things uncertain until the final whistle of every game.
