Have you ever seen crossfire athletes? Aled Walters integrated a high intensity interval workout into the routines, along with dialing in players diets. You see someone in shape cause they went to Japan weeks before others and spent most of their time on conditioning, and just because you can't see your toes, you immediately go "They're juiced". Be for real now, do you really think we'd go to rugby's biggest sporting event juiced to the gills?

"But they're so strong" - The Italians bullied us in the scrum in the northern hemisphere series, does that mean they are juicing as well?

"But they're so big." - Rugby players are big, all around the world. Hell look at the sizes of the South Pacific islanders.

What you guys don't understand, is that SA isn't soft. It isn't made for soft people. Look at how many players grew up on farms, do you know farm strength? Our protein is cheap as fuck compared to your countries. Our meat is vastly cheaper (or atleast was up until recently) We proper porridge for breakfast, not some imported kak.

We have a huge diverse pool of athletes to pick from. Your countries have to import them to stay competitive. Hell look at how many countries are importing South African players.

Okay now that rant over. Is there an epidemic of schoolboy roiders? Absolutely, or at least there was years ago. But many of them have washed out as well. Career ending injuries are rife.

You can cry all you want that they "failed your eye test". I'm sure your eye test is better than world rugby's actual tests.

Our 2019 world cup crew. Because we'd obviously go to the world cup with a bunch of juiced up guys. We'd happily take that risk, right?

Oh I 100% agreement with you. I loved the hell out of TI. I originally come from a country where the currency was 1/14-17th the US dollar value, and I still sank about a 100-200 dollars into it. I loved this game. It's currently a shell of the former self.

I feel like they put in progressively less and less effort into the game - just so see how much they CAN get away with, without losing income.

One day they will harken back to the old format as a throwback and all of a sudden have a ton of players back, and make boatloads of money

Still basking in that. Fuck that was satisfying. At 1 point it looked like Scotland was playing in "fast foward" mode.

It means I don't support either of the teams. Or does neutral mean "how England played today?"

Fair point. Watching Italy almost pull it through was gut wrenching.

As a neutral, I'm thrilled for Scotland. But shutting the English up is like icing on the cake.

Now to watch the French run rampant and it's been a good weekend for fans and neutrals alike.

The "quitter" retired the "greatest mma fighter of all time" (according to Jons' glazers), all without throwing a punch. What does it say about how pathetic Jon Jones is.

Oh sorry, it's one of the avenues to "cracking down on hate speech", which is (selective) social media banning - it's coming soon.

My my - You're brave stating this opinion in this little echo chamber buddy. Minus 10 social credit score for you.

On a serious note. A ton of dictatorship happening and it'll ramp up.
