Rugby should have its own version of the Ballon D’Or Just spitballing but, say, Les Boules de Laiton
There should be one Ballon D'Or for club football and one Ballon D'Or for international football Would eliminate needless debate The great challenge would be to win both in the same year

What does my head in beyond expression is that a guy who can foot-juggle a rugby ball at full pace… drops at least one sitter a game Sometimes two or three

Precisely, who gives a fuck about JHW? You could not make our point any better

Who gives a fuck about JHW? Go out, take a walk. Everything isn't about whining SA rugby supporters you know.

Trevor and Spicy Plum says they spoke to Marx and he doesn’t know nothing about no transfer And negotiationing parties never lie…
Is it better for South African rugby is Malcolm Marx joins the Sharks or if he joins the Bulls?? Surely if the Sharks get Malcolm Marx, then Bongi Mbonambi rejoins the Bulls or Stormers? If Marx joins the Bulls, does Grobbelaar leave? Lots of Moving parts?

Are there examples where reliving past glories a decade or so later worked out?

Genuine question, accepting submissions: Other examples of beating three players in a 2-3m radius , other than Kolbe, the greatest hot-stepper in history? (Not run over, stepped through)

Bulls have three Springbok hookers and infinity loose forwards Thin stocks at center and TH Yet they are getting Kwagga and Marx while shedding Wilco and David Kriel Their ways are not our ways

Welsh rugby is finally getting over the post-golden generation slump and it’s a welcome development for the URC and Test rugby and just the way things ought to be

80m but still… Straight into Elite Player Development with him
This Afrikaner kid from South Africa just ran 9.84 seconds in the 100m. My mind is blown. He has a bright future ahead of him. 💪🏻
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The attached video shows an 80m race for 11-year-old boys (on-screen graphics), not 100m. Reports confirm Dylan Calvert's 9.84s was in the under-11 80m at ASA Sub-Youth Nationals. goodthingsguy.com/dylan-calvert-… sasportspress.co.za/sports-menu-he… novanews.co.za/school/asa-sub…

“When we played South Africa, we were equally as good, if not better, players on an individual skill set level. But in terms of physicality, they were way better than us and it showed in the final result.” This has been the case in just about every post-isolation Test we won against NZ, France, Australia, or Ireland

Nextgen had superior skills coaching between 14-18 A time when the brain (where skills lie) is uniquely receptive to learning and forming hardwired neural pathways That gap is difficult if not impossible to close
The kids literally were the gems for Stormers. Ahmed, Muller, Pead, Reid, Riley & Zack all showed the seniors what showing up is supposed to look like.

What?!
A remarkable stat for you from the Stormers’ 52-40 victory over the Scarlets in Cape Town yesterday. The Stormers conceded just one penalty in the whole game.

Wessels testified that he tried to throw Murphy off of him For that action his movement was not unnatural Unless you choose to believe Murphy ( who got a te card (but no ban!) for punching Wessels in the head In fact, the Wessels case shoukd be less clear because Murphy had obvious reason to lie, unlike Coombs
Replying to @moi_pseudo
The argument in the Wessels case is that it is an unnatural movement for a person on the floor of a ruck to move his hands towards the groin of an opposition player in the ruck. While a hand in the groin is common enough when making a tackle/ruck clearout/maul

Yes, there is more clearly hand near groin here Argument in JHW case was Josh Murphy would never lie and there might have been a hand near groin Both cases are not enough for a ban in my and your opinion and I’m sure you made these most sensible arguments then too Unless you mean they are nothing alike because the accused was not Irish then yes you are right And from here it seems to be the dispositive factor Would be shocked if there is a single South African that disagrees with moi While half of Ireland appears to disagree with vous and want the perp banned for life in this case People are biased, who knew Except moi — serenely objective

And, look, I fucking hate this topic or arguing for guilt where any reasonable doubt exists, But go read the threads on JHW and you will understand the frustration
