The 8 / 9 Combo

Gentlemen of the oval ball 🏉 / Discussing all things rugby union, with a marginal bias towards the Springboks

WE ARE BACK - and with a new look! 💪🏼 After one of us lost our login details awhile ago (you can guess who), we decided to change things up! Stay tuned for all things rugby related. Just in time for the Lions Series too! 😅 #NewProfilePic #GoBokke

@AmiJaneD @Andre_123789 @TinusvS4 @SharksRugby I’m with you on this one … maybe the inclusivity culture is attracting the best players as they feel they will be valued correctly 🤷‍♂️. Not sure how the Sharks model is a point to argue … they are creating a great culture that players want to be apart of

@Da_Me_3 @sportbillysays So much energy and definitely will be one for the future - currently a walking penalty at the moment, maybe because he playing in a weak pack (the last few games I’ve seen)

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@RobHouwing Sharks 100% let themselves down. Massive momentum swing taking our experienced front row off. All yellow cards and Penalty Tries were legit.

The Scottish National anthem at Murrayfield …. Absolutely incredible!!!!

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@SquidgeRugby Haha that is poking 🤣🤣. Was it playing club rugby SA. No Union wanted him. Well done to him for making a massive turnaround in his career

@FrontRowGrunt The only guy that advanced from an offside position was Franco Mostert. He then realizes and retreats … to me applying the reason for the rule is to make sure those guys have no impact or bearing on the outcome … in this instance not one of the guys offside did

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@FrontRowGrunt Couldn’t agree more!!!

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@Johan_Jordaan72 @FrontRowGrunt Out of this squad who do you think won’t make the RWC due to Age?

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@DaneGalley Much better when curwin not in the match day 23

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@CRFCFans Not sure those are the official pages. But point taken for sure

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@mark_keohane @WorldRugby Absolutely ridiculous how interpretations can be so different - when the point of refining the laws is to take out the grey area.

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@iYusufVaid @FrontRowGrunt Very valid points

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@FrontRowGrunt Is that law being applied at the Rugby Championship? I see Curwin got blown up for this I’m the Semi-Final

[The 8 / 9 Combo @the8_9combo]

@craigray11 @stefanungerer93 Great signing. All 3 are in players deserving of a step up to the URC. Good business by the Stormers
