I think the rugby law book needs changing, the holding up of the ball in the try line area where the attacking team is effectively punished for not putting the ball down should be reversed, scrum to attackers. Attacking teams should be rewarded not defensive plays #rugby #BORvTLS #ChampionsCup

Sale dominating Leinster at scrum time, comfortably #LEINvSAL #ChampionsCup

How good was McCloskey yesterday, direct & over the advantage line performance of note, what England would do to have a player like him. He was immense at Twickenham #ENGvIRE #IrelandRugby

The sooner England realize Finn Smith is the answer at 10, then the sooner results will upturn. The ever elusive 12 position is still unanswered, Borthwick has much work to do with this England side #ENGvIRE #EnglandRugby

The game will always be won in the tight five, England were just not good enough up front, Joe Heyes being the only player leaving HQ with credibility. Not enough grunt up front & nobody willing to do the hard yards in the loose, too many luxury players #ENGvIRE #EnglandRugby

Standing with Edwin Edogbo on what should have been a life highlight, keep on progressing and playing, congratulations on your debut, well deserved #IRFU #6Nations #Edogbo

Scott Cummings is seriously underrated, very good second rower #GLAvSAR #ChampionsCup #GlasgowWarriors

Franco Smith is doing some job at Glasgow Warriors #ChampionsCupRugby #GLAvSAR #GlasgowWarriors

What are Sky Sports doing with this “In The Box” on their main channel, wow is this the best they can do from a broadcasting point of view, so so poor. Focus on the sport and analysis, reaching…. #SkySports #manuvsmancity

The All Blacks will regroup, they will come back stronger, I think a captaincy change is necessary, I think Schmidt would be the most dangerous option for other nations. Joseph has good coaching qualities, but so did Razor. Interesting times, they’ll be back for sure #AllBlacks

People suggesting that the All Blacks are trying to get Tony Brown back is just the rumour mill. Why will they try & get an assistant coach back when they haven’t firmed up the Head Coach, that’s the not the way NZ Rugby works. Strange take & certainly no credit to it #AllBlacks

I think the Scott Robertson news will lead to a change in captaincy as well, Scott Barrett’s time will be up. New coach with new ideas and a new leadership group, massive changes ahead for the All Blacks, lots of work to do before the “The Greatest Rivalry Tour” #AllBlacks

This is huge news - Scott Robertson, the All Blacks don’t change direction on coaches on a whim, they have been an organization of continuity and the boat must have been severely rocked with a move away from a coach with Robertson’s potential #AllBlacks

Sky Sports reacting to fan notes & becoming a clickbait organization, what happened to top quality sports reporting & broadcasting. The quality of content is really deteriorating. I recall it being at the cutting edge of sport but sadly this is no longer the case #SkySports #SportsBroadcasting

Stating the obvious but these Willis brothers can play rugga, very talented and don’t mind the rough stuff #SARvTLS #ChampionsCup

What a try by Rayasi, made it look so easy #BORvNOR #ChampionsCup

Another poor defensive performance by an SA team in this weekend’s Champions Cup, this time the Stormers. A real poor first 30 minutes from the side from Cape Town #HARvSTO #ChampionsCup

This Bulls v Bristol Bears game should be known as “The Battle Of The Non Defence”, both sides don’t seem to want to defend. Some nice attacking moves but serious questions have to be asked of the defensive coaches & players for sure #ChampionsCup #BULvBRI #Bulls #BristolBears

How can any professional side ship just under 50 points in a half, serious questions need to be asked of this Bulls team, shocking defensive performance #ChampionsCup #BULvBRS

Bulls defence is absolutely awful #ChampionsCup #BULvBRS

SA Rugby has been relatively easy to criticize in the past for many a reason but the extension of Rassie’s contract shows stability and good forward thinking. Excellent news and well done to the leadership at SA Rugby #Springboks #Rassie #Rugby

So the top 2 current seeds can meet in the quarter final of the Rugby World Cup. World Rugby what a mess that is - follow the tennis route where the top seeds miss each other until the finals of a slam. How not to promote the game, just don’t get how you can get it wrong #RWC2027 #rugby

Just rewatching the Ireland v Springboks from last week, Ruan Nortje got through an absolute mountain of work, got an old style diesel engine on him #IREvRSA #Springboks

It was a strange Test match but just love live sport, it is so special especially when two of the top 2 Test teams are hard at it. Dublin was great, the Irish fans were also gracious in defeat. A special weekend with rugby people #IREvRSA #RugbyUnion

Are Fabian Galthié & Gregor Townsend getting enough out of their respective squads..?For me neither are, that game yesterday against the All Blacks was there for the taking & the French seem to have stagnated, both teams have great player pools, wins are needed #SCOvNZL #FRAvRSA

From an all round rugby experience not much matches Murrayfield. Another “could’ve performance” by Scotland. Maybe some fresh blood is needed from an idea point of view. Great Test match though #SCOvNZL

That’s a big loss for France, 15 points at home against 14 men, there has to be questions asked. Not good enough from a squad that talented #FRAvRSA

100 Test matches for any nation is a helluva an achievement, at the top table of Tier 1 nations is even more impressive. With the road that Siya Kolisi has travelled it’s monumental, epic. One of, if not the greatest Springbok captain #FRAvRSA #Springboks #SiyaKolisi

Lewis Moody - thoughts with him & hope … #LewisMoody

Enjoyable day at Twickenham yesterday, a successful campaign for the Springboks. Looking forward to seeing the autumn internationals, think they’re may be a few interesting selections. A few positions where depth could be built #Springboks #ARGvRSA #RugbyChampionship

Damian & Sacha are such unbelievably talented rugby players , if they stay injury free they are going to be the spine of the Springbok backline for years to come. As talented as there have been for the Boks #Springboks #ARGvRSA #RugbyChampionship

If a team infringes with a professional foul & a team scores afterwards, a yellow card should still stand. It should be enforced & frustrating when it’s not #NZLvAUS #BledisloeCup

When will teams learn to build scoreboard pressure and take the easy 3 points on offer, both teams getting it wrong in my opinion in the last 10 minutes #NZLvAUS #BleidisloeCup

Roigard is simply an outstanding 9, he controls the tempo and keeps defences honest, an excellent scrum half. All Blacks have a glaring issue in the second row though, they don’t have a world class lock in their stocks, a real issue #NZLvAUS #BledisloeCup #AllBlacks

Cmon Europe #RyderCup

Man of the match Damian Willemse for sure, he would be in my side every time, sublime & supremely talented-1 of the great performances. Runner up & not far behind PSDT, immense today, no coincidence when PSDT plays well the pack performs #NZLvsRSA #Springboks #RugbyChampionship

Christophe Ridley having an excellent game, not enough praise is given to good officiating #AUSvARG #RugbyChampionship

Is there a more entertaining team to watch than Argentina in the Test arena at present, on their day they are mesmerizing #AUSvARG #RugbyChampionship

The focus of post match analysis is to focus on the game, analyze, identify focal points, give opinions but let’s not just focus on the officiating. Thought it was poor on Supersport on Saturday after the Bok game. Sometimes a team loses cause they deserve to, the ref blame game is tired #NZLvsRSA

Ardie Savea. I know it's not news but what a big game player he is.

If you don’t have a functional lineout you don’t win Test matches , really simple. Really poor performance by the Springboks in that facet #NZLvsRSA #rugbychampionship2025

👇🏼 Excellent read #Springboks #RugbyChampionship

Once Mr Chansiri has left Sheffield Wednesday I envisage a huge upturn & increase in season tickets, merchandise sales & one off tickets being sold. I think there will be so much support & financial upside for the new owners. Potential with a capital “P” #SWFC #SheffieldWednesday

Tom Curry has the engine of an 18-wheeler truck, a massive effort in the 3rd Test and the series as a whole. Superb rugby player #AusVLions #LionsTour2025

Skelton has had a huge first 40 minutes, at his bullying best and schooling a couple of the Lions pack, getting right under their skin. Lions need to fight fire with fire #AUSvLIO #LionsTour2025

Porter constantly scrumming in, has to be penalized #AUSvLIO #LionsTour2025

Talk of Aussies tweaking a few things to get the win in the 2nd Test, it’s not that simple. As we all feared this Aus side especially up front doesn’t have the firepower & players. Lions will get better, plenty of room for improvement, Aussies simply don’t have enough #Lions2025

I thought the Lions pack was excellent yesterday, the standouts for me were Sheehan, Genge & Curry. To a man they were all simply outstanding. Aussies just couldn’t manage the collisions & the upfront battle, going to be tough to come back for the home side #Lions2025 #ausvlio

The rebuild of one of the great football stadiums, Camp Nou #Barcelona #CampNou

100 Test Caps is an unbelievable achievement, simply an excellent rugby player. Fantastic career & one which should be celebrated, to captain the Lions & England is a rare achievement, Itoje really is the glue of the England team #MaroItoje #100Tests
