@RL-11: Even if it was an inside-job (not saying it was), how cares? Iraq, Syria, Iran they all had/have it coming. Besides if you lot are going to get all conspiracy theory on that then how about commenting on the world's new religion called race denial?

@stormer in a teacup-14: Hehehe I think the owner of that blog is family of pops and Bakkies, he thinks saying the same thing over and over and changing the 'angle' slightly people will start believing it to be true.

“Several foreign-based players arrive in France at an early stage of their careers and they should be considered locals in what the game in France has given them by way of development.”

Strange, I could bet there would have been “poaching” mentioned all day long, if France would be changed for NZ.

Juan Smith = Yster. Sad but the right decision. Respect to one of the greatest 7 flankers ever!

@Tuna-5: so he is retired - should have taken the retirement package in France instead of trying to please those Cheetahs fools for one last season.

This is beyond ridiculous now – soon half the players playing for 6N teams will be born in the southern hemisphere with passports not belonging to any 6N country.

It is time the IRB takes action and put an end to this poaching farce, if not then there must be streey justice. Yes if I were president or dictator I would label these prick traitors and revoke them of their citizenship. I would also introduce some kind of a statues of limitations and strip anyone of their citizenship if they are out of the country for more than 3 years.

That’s right. Watch me have Obama terrorist drones patrol the border and rocket attack anything crossing the border – at airports and harbours anyone looking strange will get a bullet between the eyes.

Either the IRB stops this madness or it is plan B.

France should have picked Claassen years ago. Actually reading how many caps Spies won, South Africa should have picked Claassen years ago.

Pretorius for Wales
Claassen for France
Geldenhuys for Italy
Botha & Barrit for England
Denton is from Zimbabwe… Hardly South African

But yes. Almost a South African in every 6 Nations squad
