With a terrible signature kicks line but kids still buy them….

Unfortunately I don't know anything about shoes. Then again, looking at those D Rose Son of Chi sneakers, neither does Derrick Rose.

I thought the Scots started playing relatively well after a slow start, especially towards the end of the first half. That disallowed Ben White try was really well worked, with the Tuipulotu short pass to Jordan (although the Bok defence was unusually passive in that instance).

They'll rue a few moments - taking the penalty rather than the quick tap or scrum during the yellow card as others have already said, the Huw Jones pass that went into touch - but it always seemed like they would struggle to contain the Bok push in the final 20 minutes.

Hendrikse was a bit of a weak link for South Africa I thought.

Bad day at the office. Was it 3 knocks-on in the first half, or 4? Yeesh.

His first one was not spotted by the ref (when Fagerson counter rucked) who gave SA a penalty a few seconds later which led to Mapimpi's first try. This try should not have been awarded.

oh Mike i dunno, all they need to do is import like 4-5 more good players from a real rugby nation and they might be able to progress from the Group Stage of a world cup.

The fact that Wales is on a 10 match losing streak doesn’t deflect from the fact that Dalziel is deluded

Nice try though

Gives me an idea for the Celts: a State of Origin round robin - play each other without imports.

Then we can see whose rugby ecosystem is really in the shitter.

Be a bit unfair with Ireland allowed to keep all their SH born players because they've really bought in to Ireland and bleed green though huh?

@Bones it’s made me laugh like a loon with all the back patting about how robust Ireland’s rugby development machine is. Unstoppable to be sure, to be sure

Actually, I think it is in the OED, but it just sounds wrong. Will is credited with making up more English words than anyone else I think, so I take that with a grain of salt anyway.

Man when is the team named? We have resorted to Shakespeare discussions...

One of the Henry ones? Macbeth would be more appropriate in this thread, although there weren't that many Scots involved last weekend.

Henry IV.

Macbeth one I know is not so relevant for a time of release

How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags?
