The most Wales in Bloemfontein team since Wales in Bloemfontein.

(Asenathi will ensure victory though)

73-17 win against Australia in the tournament opener.

32-22 win against title holders England (after being 14-0 down) in the key Pool A game.

Loads of character, speed to burn, a big boot at 10, power scrum...

This Junior Boks side is the real deal...

We kinda take it as read that Namibia are semi-decent what with them being at all of the most recent WCs

But they’re not currently Africa champions and they are ranked below Belgium, Hong Kong and Canada

Oh and their coach quit last week

So theres a very real chance they dont make the next WC 😕

As a Lakers fan it’s so bittersweet

WE CHOSEN FRIGGIN TALEN HORTON TUCKER INSTEAD OF CARUSO!!!!!!

The Springbok Women took a squad with no less than 12 uncapped players to Madagascar, and were crowned champions of Africa for the fourth time 💚💛🇿🇦💚💛

I know it's a 'warm-up game' but the Lions not awarding test caps for playing against Argentina (ranked fifth in the world) but awarding them for matches against Australia (ranked eighth in the world) does seem a bit silly on this occasion.

Not much wrong for La Rochelle losing away to Pau; but that middle of the season is coming back to bite them. No Top 14 playoffs for the first time in years.

Alldritt, Antonio et al, get ready to learn the haka for July.

Think the cramp might have been real, or he’s got serious imbalances in training.

World Rugby has WWE scriptwriters now and they’re cooking with this Rieko Ioane to Leinster storyline 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

He also plays such a different game to Ringrose or Henshaw and I’m not sure it’s complementary to their skill sets. He definitely should play 14

I wouldn’t fight you. It felt almost too tense to be enjoyed though. My goodness.

Tim Connelly, be a man and trade Anthony Edwards to the Lakers for Rui Hachimura. You can’t have those attitude problems.

Pollard back to the Bulls??????

And shoutout to Aimee Kitshoff. Steven was probably overplayed for both club and country in 22/23. How many brunches and wine tastings did she sacrifice for her country - a true patriot 🫡

Bided his time well backing up Mtawarira when he was probably the best loosehead in the world. Led the Stormers to their first major trophy and formed a new one-two punch with Nche for SA.

Fantastic career, sad ending.

Also the Boks really went from Os > Beast > Kitshoff > Ox the last 20 years???

I'm gonna miss him so much. His carries around to corner off 9 were always brutal and beautiful.
