When they said life begins at 40, I didn't know they meant from scratch...

@psixaba @GraemeSmith49 You mean Whatshisname?😂😂😂

[Paul Williams @thepaulwilliams]

Boks and ABs running each other close like this.

Is fantastic for rugby.

This is exactly what you want from number 1 and 2 in the world.

👌

Cricket…..You never disappoint 👌🏏

I can't with South Africans...😂😂😂

[IG:dalinoliver @DalinOliver]

The world needs to make more of an effort to understand South Africa as a country, people, culture etc before criticizing & shouting at us. Awê 🇿🇦

[Darrel Bristow-Bovey @dbbovey]

People who say that Siya is only an inspirational leader need to watch rugby more closely.

South Africans are ungovernable, yazi...😂😂😂

Other countries shocked because we fly planes over buildings for entertainment not to mass murder people.

So now Ruben Love is being called All You Need Is Love by IsiXhosa commentary 😭

Food for thought...

This was recorded 📽️ before the Springboks 🇿🇦 lost to New Zealand. 🇳🇿

The reaction afterwards only reinforced the point. 🙃

New Characters & Campaigns, out now! 🚨

SFM has 21 Tests for Boks, 13 as starting 10. Five of his Tests been a/g NZ. His W/L v All Blacks: 3-2. He was instrumental in 2024 wins (comeback at Ellis Park + outplaying McKenzie in CT over last 27:00). He started in record 43-10 win in 2025; Gaza + Manie alt 1st receiver in 2H. Bok 9 that day: Reinach. Pack: Ox, Marx, Tank, Lood, Nortje, PSDT, Siya, Jasper. LW: Hooker. RW: Kolbe. Gaza 2nd receiver off Manie. Let's all breathe.

The "5 turnovers" SFM supposedly had in Test One: one of them is on him. Can't catch pullbacks to nobody or passes behind him at full sprint: his ability to twist and almost field them saddles him with a TO. He caught his own kick and nobody on support. Yes, that's a "turnover" but FFS.

Pollard is a RWC tee legend but rugby is now sped up, teams taking the three left behind, RWC 2027 finals might be try fests, was W1 L5 v All Blacks to start his career, and was the 10 in those Rennie Wallaby upsets. He was not the panacea for the ills of Boks in Test One. I back Sacha to expand his early edge over the All Blacks. Target him at your peril. He's a tough boy and will go well, with Manie Libbok not easing up: full peddle metal.

Two years since I properly wrote about rugby. Been struggling for time, but have missed it more than I realised.

These conversational pieces are far quicker to put together than my data heavy analysis, so they’re the ones I can actually sustain.

More of this? 👇

[Paul Williams @thepaulwilliams]

Absolutely incredible win from the ABs in South Africa.

Beautiful counter attacking rugby.

Very rare to see a victory like that with such a setpiece disadvantage.

Well played New Zealand.

As much as I love a scrum.

Scrums for show.

Tries for dough.

[Simnikiwe Xabanisa @simxabanisa]

@GavinCarter83 I'll take it...😂🙈

Liverpool already trying to kill my geriatric ass this season...

[Clinton van der Berg @ClintonV]

Stunning performance by the All Blacks. Murdered up front, yet they still found a way. Boks' lack of imagination telling. Roll on Cape Town.

@khayakoko88 😂😂😂😂😂

[Simnikiwe Xabanisa @simxabanisa]

@khayakoko88 I can still beat you in a sprint, though. We should do it before they get rid of me...😂😂😂

@AmiJaneD This is an unfair take...
