Ireland with a 6/2 split. World rugby should change this rule…. #Mattwilliams

Many expats, myself included, have never ever intended to leave South Africa permanently.

But rather,
to access markets to earn harder currency, to kick start a better standard of living in South Africa.

From anecdotal evidence, many South Africans abroad want to return

It’s been an honour and a privilege representing this special Island over the last 7 years! It’s been our family away home 🇯🇪

Jersey Sport It would have been nice if the players left on the islands had been told about this, and were able to attend to celebrate what was!
It would have been a fitting way to sign off Jersey Reds before they move on to new careers on the island.

South Africa after losing to Ireland in a pool game ➡️ winning #RWC2023

Siya and Jacques knew 👀

Had a chance to breakdown one of the best defensive displays I have ever seen for RTÉ Sport this week on #againstthehead . Can’t wait to see what Jacques Nienaber does with the Leinster Defence #RWC23Final

🎵RASSIE RASSIE🎵

This is pretty incredible, and brilliantly captured and illustrated in this graphic.

“But it would feel so empty without me!”

23.5 (Boks) plays 22.8 (All Blacks) in last 11 Tests between these two teams ... 5 wins each & 1 draw but on the biggest night in Paris that 1 point favoured South Africa. NEVER has there been a finer margin. Just respect brothers. #RWC23Final

28 – Pieter-Steph du Toit made 28 tackles v New Zealand in the #RWC2023 final, the most by any player in a single match at this year’s tournament and the most by any player in a men’s final, overtaking the 18 made by Richie McCaw v France in 2011. Warrior.

I think he should’ve blown this earlier, don’t wait for them to actually start shoving. (Knee on ground is a penalty).

Once the knee goes down, pin him.

Beast retires and we get an OX 🐂

Stephen Donald on the Springboks:

Define: The Springboks.

Very sad day for Jersey Reds! Thoughts are with all players and staff.

One of the few players in the world who has everything! The complete player. This man is world class. He’s going to be a massive loss for the Boks.

Ridiculous from a professional golfer Jacques Kallis
