@BettingRugby999 He is a great player. Just not a goat, yet. To achieve that, he needs to win test matches in SA/NZ. In my very humble and admittedly small opinion 😀

@BoknRoll @APC_Rugby 👏🏻 😂

@harryxafc @Peel1659 Boks making Englishmen support France. Damn, the boys have caused some damage over the years man 😂

@HJeffred @Delpotrismo @RuggaRugby Must be why everyone was so upset when we beat you in 2023 and again last year. I don’t know man… seemed like you guys cared! I mean here I am chatting to you about something you and your countrymen apparently don’t care about 😂 🤥

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@LeinsterGoy @The42_ie Obviously every team does what they can to get away with what they can. But the scrum is one part of rugby where, yes, there are dark arts, but there is also a contest you cannot cop out of. No amount of smart tactics will overcome pure unified strength and technique.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@HJeffred @Delpotrismo @RuggaRugby Haha there we go.. we don’t care. Again. 😂

You lot love it. It makes you feel better.

Cool 👍🏼

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@LeinsterGoy @The42_ie Haha. The evidence is there. The results are there. You’re just being wilfully obtuse. You must be. I’ll afford you the benefit of the doubt. Go speak to your Leinster front row who got munched last November. They’ll educate you I’m sure.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@LeinsterGoy @The42_ie The biased and jaundiced will see what suits their agenda. I will merely lean on the evidence and body of work previously presented by the greatest scrum the sport has seen.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

Ok I know they like their domestic comp and all but this has got to be one of the most wild rugby takes I’ve seen. Absolute sizzler. Daaaamn.

[Jérôme-Frederic @HJeffred]

@SUNSTlRADE @Rugby_Scoop Neither the All Blacks, the Boks, nor the French national team have the squad depth, the budget, the staff, or the setup to compete for a title in a league like the Top 14. There’s a massive gulf between them and the big French clubs.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@LeinsterGoy @The42_ie You make it sound like it’s manufactured. As if the strongest props in the world, proven over years, need to suddenly cheat to gain ascendancy. It’s a nonsense. Look if I was Irish I’d probably be trying to convince myself of the same given how last year went.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@Raph_Ibanesse @Delpotrismo It’s a fools argument. Don’t complain about absences then. Every team has them. France apparently has the greatest league in the world. The deepest national squad. Now they lose some players and it’s the end of the world as we know it. Haha no man.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@RugbyPiss @Oldsuliansrfc @ChalynRugby Each to their own I guess. Springboks evoke a massive sense of national pride for South Africans. I think it’s a bit more nuanced than boiling it down to the number of games a team plays. There’s a lot of Bok fans out there but that don’t mean we don’t also support our clubs.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@eKoloKante This was the first test. Adjustments were made for the remaining three.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@RugbyPiss @Oldsuliansrfc @ChalynRugby Players from the local area 😂 err nah.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@LeinsterGoy @The42_ie Gardner completely buckled and refused to referee the scrum in that match after being influenced by Rennie’s comments in the media. It was a farce. Amashukeli presided over the next match and allowed a contest to develop.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@SARugbymag Go play another sport FFS @AllBlacks @nzheraldrugby your media and your coach have been squealing, bitching and moaning for months now. Put a cork in it.

[StartwideExpandfurther @LD151]

@LeinsterGoy @The42_ie Is that you Dave Rennie? Pfft please man 😂 It’d be great if an Irish coach comes out and says what you just have. We saw the result a couple months ago. Daan Human doesn’t take kindly to allegations of cheating.

[Gerrit Theron (Bruce) @RugbyGerrit]

I’ve honestly never seen an @AllBlacks setup complain about so many aspects of rugby.

First, it was the break foot at scrum time during the South African tour. Now, after struggling to deal with Scotland’s rolling maul from the lineout, suddenly that’s another problem that needs fixing.

I’m genuinely wondering whether this is a Dave Rennie thing or simply a sign of complacency.

Instead of finding ways to overcome these challenges, improve and become better at dealing with them, there’s suddenly a conversation about changing the laws.

Why on earth would you want to change the game we love by taking away two fundamental parts of rugby?

The scrum and the rolling maul are part of this game. Master them. Defend them. Find solutions.

I can promise you that if the All Blacks were dominating these areas, nobody in New Zealand would be calling for them to be removed.

Since when did we start changing rugby to accommodate teams that can’t master certain aspects of the game? @martindevlinnz @WorldRugby @worldrugbymedia
