I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
Liam Williams' friends and neighbors have just confirmed to the pub that he has never played Fly Half in his life :(

Fly half is easy, just inflate your ego and blame everything on the feed you get from the 9.

I'm confused. Despite a wobble in the first half Wales seem to be playing with some composure. I'm not sure what to make of this...

Every time I see a wide angle shot of Serfontein I have a sickening feeling that Zane Kirchener is back in the side.

If he'd led with the other shoulder it'd possibly be a different story but that was a pretty clear shoulder charge, fullback corner-flagging or no.

I think the elbow hitting the face made it look worse as well, was probably lucky not to get a yellow for that.
Drop goal from 30 metres does't work, so lets try from 50 instead. Idiots.

If it was chance they would've won by now, Wales just don't believe they can win.
Probably more single point losses than any other nation by now.

Kickstarter to fund the assassination of key players of all the other teams in Pool A of next year's World Cup. I can't face Wales losing every game by a point and finishing bottom of the group.

Scotland is going to play Adam Ashe for Scotland vs South Africa.

Just for an FYI, Ashe hasn't played a single game for Glasgow Warriors as yet. He's getting a first cap for Scotland.

Not sounding good for Owen Williams :( Normally they would be releasing more information, but it took them at least a day or two before they even released a statement saying he was in hospital. Hopefully the club will stick by him and look after him.

Sounds like a similar injury as happened to Tom Evans. Brutal injury and I hope that Owen makes a full recovery :(

Watching the Force-Blues game - are the Force so broke that the players have to bring their club socks or something? I'm seeing at least 5 different styles of socks on the Force players ... or am I going crazy?

(Then again I'm voluntarily watching a Force game, so make of that what you will.)

I heard the commentators mentions the socks thing - and it is definitely on purpose for this round.


ouch: yellow card against the Blues (although they are still leading 26 - 0 at this point).

Seem to be doing okay in contact, occasionally driving SA back in the tackle and the scrum is holding up well but the SA backs are killing Scotland.

There was no way we were going to do any sort of damage to SA and the SRU were loving morons to make us play that 4th game. Most of the team is exhausted, injured and not there because they couldn't be released. We were literally playing a C team.
