@insiderugbymark From my perspective, Australian Rugby is losing to Australian Rugby League due to stronger financial growth and stronger broadcasting sponsorship. Plus, Australian Rugby hasn't made any effort to help rugby grow at the grassroots level (schools, etc).
@haribaldijones Think the score was flattering the Boks a bit. Their defence wasn't pleasant to look at. One thing we learnt, for sure, is that Scotland is improving. If they manage to get a bit more depth in some positions, they will be a very good team at the WRC next year.
@insiderugbymark I would say Pollard did well on the kicking and defence fronts, but not so much on the attacking front. His kicks kept the Boks moving forward, given their own terrible defence, but the Boks' wings were left starved, having got the ball very little via backline passing.
@Brendennel Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation. Will continue to watch how the story develops: we definitely don't need that in our rugby. Really need to stamp it out at the source.
@haribaldijones It's not just about relying on kicking; it's also about knowing how and when to send the backline away with quick attacking passes, something Pollard can improve on.
@Brendennel Every sports reporter I follow or visit on X has a link in their post. Why is it so hard not to include it? Why force your visitors away from your X to search for it? By including it, you gain followers and a reputation for newsworthy content.
@CaptSpringbok That is a bit of a reckless post. You don't even share context for those of us who aren't aware of anything. Be a bit more credible with link sources.
@Ryuzetsu2@RassieRugby Rassie is all about versatility, so he choose players who are best in more than one position. That is what makes the Boks so unique.
@Oom_Rugby Manie kicking 78% is still a LOT better than what we Internet “experts/coaches” can kick 😜 He's there for creating opportunities. People forgot that the Japan rugby environment is much faster, and Manie was the 2nd top scorer which is no mean feat!
@JohnSmi24686745@FionnualaFini It all depends on the type of car, whether it's front-wheel or rear-wheel drive. Just remember, it’s always best not to place a spare on the axle that actually drives the vehicle.
