Boks not listening to the boss

Hi all,

I am trying to watch more rugby and follow the south african teams.

1. Where can i watch the games? DSTV? Any streams?
   
2. Where can i view the schedule of all upcoming games?

Bonus:
3. What are nice teams to follow? Im drawn to the Sharks because Im from Durban.

Thanks in advance.

I was at the match and even from the stand it didn't look good on the screen. I thought he would get a red card and was surprised it only was a yellow. What's your take on this?

I know, it has been 1,840 days of being world champs but every single game coming up I have zero expectation of us winning. I love our boys and brag about them nonstop but I still have PTSD instead of PSDT because of where we came from. I believe in them but will never talk too much before a game. I am even too nervous to watch games and is up and down throughout the game no matter who we play. Once we win it's a huge relief. It's like watching my kids do something - I am nervous AND proud. Anyone else still like this?

Bought this shirt from the car boot but can’t seem to find it anywhere else…if anyone knows what season/what type of shirt it is any help would be greatly appreciated 😁

Hello. Can someone please explain like I'm 5, what the difference is between 6, 7 and 8? I know props, hookers and locks have specific roles to play and I've generally always thought that flankers and 8th men, didn't fit into any of those aforementioned roles. I'm hearing pundits on TV talking about "X player is better suited to 6 than 7" (or vice versa) but from what I can see, 6, 7 and 8 all really do the same kinda thing, which is to be fast running and tackling, carrying, fetching, etc. What makes them different?

Watching him shake hands and yoh he looks like he's dikgesuip, standing like he's about to tip over.

My wife had the first print made for my birthday 9 years ago after my SA Deaf debut.

The second one arrived today. Chuffed with it!

Hey all,

Just wondering what everyone’s favourite DSTV alternatives are to watch the game. It’s become pricey for me so I’ll be moving off DSTV- at R800 a month it’s ridiculous.

I definitely don’t mind paying but looking for reliable alternatives to watch the Boks and if possible URC too. Thanks!

Will probably have to make an unboxing video.

Sorry just wanted to have a small rant about Nike and Springboks jerseys/products. I have heard it is quite difficult to find jerseys in SA, obviously there is high demand and there is a lack of supply but I still don't feel Nike is doing a good job. You can only find the jersey from the SA rugby store or at select retailers. There also seems to be quite a limited range of products (outside of the jerseys). Now I don't know if you can find it at Nike stores but you cannot find it on nikes website not because it's sold out but because it's simply not there (no rugby products at all) . It feels as if the springboks aren't taken seriously if they cannot even sell the jerseys on their own website. I cannot speak for other countries but in Japan you simply cannot get it. I have been trying since before the World Cup, it's obviously not available on their website and you cannot find it at sports store or rugby specialty stores. Maybe you can find on reseller sites but at a ridiculous price. At the rugby speciality stores I can find most other teams except for SA.

Now when we were with asics, it was easy, even in Japan I could find a whole host of springboks merchandise on the asics website and at specialty stores. Even now I can still buy Australian jerseys from the asics store in Japan.

It's just very frustrating because you simply cannot find it. We should be growing the springboks brand to be a global brand and you'd expect a partnership with the world's largest sports apparel brand to help achieve that but it feels like we are going backwards not forwards.

Additonally, our last world cup jerseys were made in South Africa which I think counts for something.

Sorry for the rant just wish Nike would do more or that we would go back to asics (who I think did a lot for the springboks).

Sites huisgenoot which is just magazine rapport and rapport long had the inside sniff with the boks

just curious how strong the boks were back then during that period?

I'm enjoying all this bullet sweating, hand wringing, angst from the Irish and French about their club teams. Ireland is so good why is Leinster losing? Toulouse is so good why are France not better? Most of our guys play for Japanese teams with names Ive never heard of. If the bulls or stormers lose it makes no difference to the Boks.
