Its an interesting discussion. If you were in the shoes of the young lads, where would you prefer being right now?

​

Playing in a world championship with an awesome shot of winning the tournament and playing a starring role in it. Or being in the Springbok squad (which is awesome because the Boks are the number 1 team in the world) but probably unlikely to get a lot of game time, if any at all.

​

Also what's better for their own development? I see a lot of debate online since the squads were announced and from what I've seen,, there doesn't seem to be consensus on this one.

We've become so used to a particular style of play in South Africa. No one runs the ball anymore. 9 puts it in the air. 10 puts it in the air. 15 doesn't counter attack, he puts it in the air. And I think the Bulls were expecting Leinster to do the same. But Leinster have been running every ball and that Bulls defence just wasn't ready for it or expecting it.

I dont know. Maybe it's a personal preference and I'm alone on this one 🤣 But I genuinely can't stand that green jersey. Blue at home. White away. That's the stormers colours I'm used to.

I've been following the U20 Rugby Championships where they are trying out a new law that any tackle above the sternum is penalized as a high tackle.

I understand player safety, but I'm not a fan of the law. 1.Considering that the ball gets carried at that height, its almost unlikely to attack the ball in the tackle. 2. Above the steenum does not cause any major injury risk to a player (although I can understand the point might be to change behavior). 3. If you're a good defensive team, you're probably not going to be able to get a dominant tackle in any more or tackle a player backwards. I just think the bar is starting to get impractical now.

I hope it doesn't get introduced to senior rugby but I'm curious to hear everyone else's thoughts.

Hi everyone. I'm planning on buying tickets to the knockout games for the World Cup in Sydney. I've never been to the Accor Stadium so I want to know how bad are the cheap seats? Like if I buy category 6 tickets, will I actually able to see any rugby or am I just looking at dots on moving on a pitch lol. OK, I'm exaggerating but you know what I mean.
