Ahhh. It is that time again when I have to start brushing up on my rugby knowledge so I can hold my own in the rugby conversations that people seem to spontaneously spring into when they hear my South African accent.


I will follow this thread to keep up.


I don?t really follow or know much about rugby. The only South African sports team I am properly up to speed with at the moment is the England Cricket team (who are not doing very well against India at the moment)


My friends have assured me that the Bokke (As opposed to Bokka if I am to be pedantic. Sorry Spadetownboy) are pretty good at the moment and if they are in the final I will be there with bells on, Johnny-come-lately style as I was in 1995. Which I think is the last time they won the world cup.

I love rugby (although I hate rugger buggers in the pub!!!!)


Kiwis for me.


England will get to the quarters or semis at a very big ush, but that's it. If Wilkinson does get fit to play a game, he'll be targetted by the opposition and taken out of the game! Great player, but never known anyone in any sport to have that sort of injury list. His best moment has past I'm afraid (please let him prove me wrong!).

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
