      It's now water down the drain, and I feel so sorry for Wayde. Regardless of which kind of rugby code he played(it was touch rugby), it was very high risk doing it, and the injury he sustained proved that he would struggle to regain the same heights. In my humble opinion, it wasn't a wise thing to play "touchies" in his situation as a star athlete. It was a career ending incident.😢

      @@boxed_by_3thn922 nah NZRFU sent an all-white team i 1949 since they decided to follow the racist policies that south Africa had. So they beat a weakened all blacks. Not saying that that era of springboks was awful but the abs had so much going against them. They could train on the boat when the travelled over, a believe the travel around South Africa was tough on them. Apparently south africa were good hosts and I think some of that may have negatively impacted them too but like this was so long ago. Rugby was so different comparissons to modern day is silly.
      I just think south african fans can't claim the won more world cup in less number of comps as justification for being a "better" side whatever that means (like best team of all time type discussions). Apartheid is the reason the weren't at the first two rwc. So South African wasn't good enough to be a some world cups.
