Older gentleman in a pinstripe suit on the Northern Line reading the FT in its full broadsheet glory. Life, finds a way. London, finds a way.
We talk about guys unluckiest not to have won a RWC… Still think he could have done a job for us in 2019 - he was playing great rugby. But Jantjies *was* our best attacking flyhalf tbf
The Biggest 'F*** it, I'll do it myself' moment. Steyn Dropping 31 points on NZ head By himself from a 7 point deficit.
Many such cases.
Fucking hell, no wonder some people think you are a cunt. Just for clarity, it's because you are
SuperSport to blame, no doubt.
Heads or tails? India have now lost 14 consecutive international coin tosses... The odds of that happening are 16,384/1 🤯
Seriously strong team. The backline is insane. I’m a Jean Smith truther - think he could easily be a starting flyhalf for at least two of our URC franchises.

Now that Rishabh is out of the Test series I would say India have been caught with their Pant down

Morgan and Farrell into the Lions team is a real ‘one for thee, one for me’ 😉 I’m sure the internet will react with much calmness and erudition.
First maligned. Then adopted. Eventually commonplace.
Exclusive: Head coach Steve Borthwick is contemplating split as way of including as many back-rowers as possible in a matchday squad Read more from @CharlesRTel ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…
I am a little worried about Gerhard Steenekamp. Was supposed to be a minor injury but he’s been out for months and months now. And right after he cemented himself in the top two looseheads in SA. Thought he would be back for the Aus Tests but apparently not…
Lekker squad. Good squad. Nice that Pead, Batho and Cheswill are getting exposure too.
Can't wait for that Cape Town man that says that disagreeing with Rassie is k@k taste. No Roos, no Moerat.😂😂

I wondered what had happened to Sangweni. Such a talented player. Hopefully he goes well with Boland! Only 24 and has a high ceiling.
