But the global sense of schadenfreude would’ve meant they’d have escaped international condemnation.

If it was their last game, when they were assured of finishing top, it would’ve been funny to see the Boks throw that one to see Tonga through to the quarters…

They would’ve done that, wouldn’t they?

I'm not sure if that's in the Springbok character. And they would have…

however, Barkley and Wilkinson are back and (as I predicted before) they will most likely kick Samoa into submission. Beyond that the English did, late in the…

Why? Because hopefully then the Northern unions will change the rules around foreign players and stop the flood of our guys going up there for the mighty pingers.

I am…

I don't believe Australia are really all that, and you never know, even this awful England team might just find some reserves when it comes to playing the crowing ones from the West Island.

Seriously? When Robinson went off in the England-South Africa match, was I the only person thinking…

Taking an optimists view, England is so bad that the Aussies might be underdone by the time we meet them...

ummm... you don't really believe that do you?

because that would assume they could do things like, well, string together a coherent phase of play.

The ploy of bringing Ric Salizzo on as a replacement prop worked well, and the sought-after try was scored.

Ha! I missed the similarity until you pointed it out...

Very disappointing the Samoan's lost, I relished the prospect of them knocking over England and potentially playing Australia in the quarter…
