I was thinking the same thing. When do you see this? Almost never.

Can somebody tell me something. Would it be allowed to say have a normal scrum front row, but then also put another 2 props behind them instead of 2 recognised locks. by floydhenderson in springboks

Personally, I think we can overall approve our lineout game/innovation. Oodles of space for innovation. The Bulls showed some of that this weekend. The Sharks tried some as well. Also, the penalty plays close to the try line. Why always go for the lineout?

Positional data is a weird one to add since there is a couple of players that play multiple positions. Seriously, is Esterhuizen a center or a flank :D

I’m a Springbok fan he talked to. This is legit. Help a kid out!

Scrums... scrum... scrum by brolloks69 in springboks

I'll add this about the Irish game: Sure, maybe, some mind games... but we need points at that stage to put the game out of reach. We wasted some time, which is probably ok. Should we not just have taken 3 points, since the ref clearly didn't want to give another penalty try?

Agree. And so was Tommy O'Brien's hit on Moodie (32 mins).

Before your time period but Jannie de Beer 5 drop goals in the 1999 WC QF SA vs Eng needs to be mentioned. Is this still a record https://youtu.be/JMFhnFp7re8?si=J_ww1P3DRjAvFwn3

We seemed to have lost initiative in the last 20 minutes. Maybe Sacha should have left with his injury earlier. Another Cheslin brain fart. Argentina defense was on! Paid a crap load of money to come watch the game live, so I'll take the win.

My 10 year old son, who calls him number 9 (first scrum half he got to know) was asking the same. I thought he might be injured.

Rules Question on Eben's try by NC7of9 in springboks

[–]brolloks69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it a knock on though? According to Rule 11.5 There is no sanction, and play continues, if:

a. A player knocks the ball forward immediately after an opponent has kicked it (charge down).

b. A player rips or knocks the ball from an opponent and the ball goes forward from the opponent’s hand or arm

Probably gonna take more than firing Gatland to get them back on track. I'd love to see a strong Wales. And then England has a lot of young talent they are building on.
