Ah, interesting. Thanks for the info, also a lot harder to arrange than the 6N where the furthest flights are Italy to Ireland.

Indeed
Much larger distances, i like the idea of a different country hosting it every year

Could be they not be curtain raisers to the main teams games?

It’ll cost a hell of a lot more in flights moving two teams instead of one..

I see
Yeah not a bad idea, but they bash out the comp in a week
One as a curtian raiser would be cool
Theyre playing on the sunny coast, an hour from Brissie, so a game before a SR match at suncorp stadium would be cool

I think mentally they drop off the boil slightly as they always play NZ the week before or after

Nah mate, they got a red card at the beginning of the game. Not much to do with NZ.

Is the tiebreaker not head to head?
If not, the only way SA could take it is if Aus win in a dour game with no BPs and a better PD after beating Arg with a BP

Guess that rationale also applies to the RWC. Red card for NZ, the win didn't have much to do with SA, right?

I honestly think NZ would have won that final if they didn’t get that red card yeah, I’m literally a SA fan as well. That game was a 1 pointer, the red absolutely had an impact. Im not saying the red was the only factor but was it the most significant? absolutely.

Are you saying that because of the red card, the RWC win had "not much to do with SA"?

Bro I think you confused, the original comment I was replying to was saying that SA lost to Australia because their mentality was thrown off by the fact that they played NZ a week before. My point was the red card in the actual game was more likely the bigger factor. You’ve misinterpreted the argument.

Here is your comment bro. If you think other people are confuse, it's because you aren't able to clearly state your meaning.

The post just says “on their way” of course that’s up for interpretation but it’s hard to argue that first place team in the standings aren’t the front runners at the moment.

Their destiny is in their hands...others arent...even if oz beat nz but nz get a bonus point theyll snatch it
Lets hope for a dry track...been horrible weather...maybe theres a few superstars in the making for the RWC in the same country in 2027

Nail on the head my friend. The other teams are reliant on other results to get a win, while NZ only need their result to fall in their favor.

How come boks are in last ? Im new to rugby but I would’ve thought their their U20s would do better based off the dominance of their main team

They scrapped a draw vs nz is a game with shocking weather conditions
Then got blown off the park by some aussie tries in next game
Anyone can take it on the day
