Super proud to be involved again this season at Tuks my 5th campaign which started in 2011 , this was an exceptional group who worked hard , it’s also nice to qualify for senior citizens half price lunch !
Oom Rugby retweeted
Key reason for me making this is to show that just because two players play the same position sometimes e.g Louw and Roos, doesn’t mean they are DIRECTLY in competition for the same positions. There is a scenario where neither play eighth-man but feature the same team.
Oom Rugby retweeted
Finally, for those non-South Africans: 6 = Openside Flank 7 = Blindside Flank Which makes sense because 6's are normally smaller than 7's 😉

As posted earlier this week I said I would provide the squads of the teams participating in the U20 Rugby Championship in 2024. If some of the information is incorrect or misspelt then apologies. Let me know and I'll make the change/s to my workbook

They did it again. Last November, Siya Kolisi's immortals became just the second side to ever retain the men’s World Cup. So, how did they do it, just how close was their 1-point win, and where, in the history of the game, does this side deserve to rank? youtu.be/n_lJbcOFioo?si…

@JacquesMaree73 I just read that in an @Oom_Rugby accent 😂😂
If this was Bok player in Vunipola’s shoes, the worst part of the story would be the world knowing he drank Amaretto and orange juice.
Billy Vunipola requiring two police tasers to take him down. Made me think that this is a metric that mainstream rugby could do more with. For instance, I think Vermeulen would be a three taser. Savea probably a four taser etc.
@Oom_Rugby 1 x Thor equals 2 x tasers and 8 police officers, now we know 🤔

IG MEMORIES: 10 YRS AGO Cheetahs 35 - 22 Stormers #SuperRugby 2014 @Oom_Rugby @watsenaam
@Oom_Rugby Completely agree Oom. Players can’t be a “one trick pony” anymore. Many strings to the bow or you are unlikely to make it at the highest level. Although I wouldn’t say the above players only had one trick, they did have big gaps in their overall skillset/ability.
Key reason for me making this is to show that just because two players play the same position sometimes e.g Louw and Roos, doesn’t mean they are DIRECTLY in competition for the same positions. There is a scenario where neither play eighth-man but feature the same team.
Finally, for those non-South Africans: 6 = Openside Flank 7 = Blindside Flank Which makes sense because 6's are normally smaller than 7's 😉
