    Can anyone say window-dressing?

    Why are there Border players in both teams… and why aren’t competitive CC teams like Kwas not playing to actually give the Poms some opposition?

    I’m excited to see all those Border, SWD and EP players there. Finally they get a chance to prove they’re up to Super Rugby standards. Happiness all round.

    What a joke. SA rugby sabotages itself again. We have to the opportunity to put the English under the pump and bruise them with quality Barbarian outfits but instead we’re playing a bunch of fourth-raters and easing England into the republic. Our rugby is rotten at the top or at the very least incredibly incompetent but I’m preaching to the choir.

    Don’t throw stones at Jimmy if his teams lose both matches against England by huge margins. Not even Rod McQueen will be able to make this bunch competitive.

    They don’t call him Stonehouse for nothing. If life throws you stones, make a house.
