Come and join me for a Jol and a live show in SA this July/August - register your interest at https://www.eggchasers.co.za/ A 40 man alignment camp has been announced by Rassie Erasmus. This is SA based players only, and excludes the guys currently injured, so this is unlikely to be anything like the squad for the Nations Championship games. Which just goes to underline the (frankly ridiculous) depth that currently exists in the Republic.

An even better feeling than finding money in those trousers is just having them still fit.
Happy for Papier! He deserved it!
South African rugby is in a very healthy place. But what scares me is these 17-20 year old guys all seem a few levels above where the current Boks were at the same age. There is some crazy talent coming through. Let's see how they mature.
What a great call-up for Riley Norton. He had a brilliant u/20 Rugby Championship. And to think he represented SA at the u/19 Cricket World Cup last year. It's mad.
Tim please watch the Thomas du toit interview on GBR and maybe a reaction because he really is a testament to what a good guy/player really should embody, especially representing your country and family he is class👌🏾
Thank you for putting up the pictures of the new talent with their names.
Noticed a spelling error here… it is Mahashe not Mashashe. Awesome content.

Just my opinion: I think in South Africa, young guys realise that they might actually have a chance to play for the Boks, because Rassie gives chances. This is possibly the reason why so many youngsters keep on giving it their all. And it pays off!
Truth be told, the single biggest reason the Bok stocks are through the roof today is because of Rassie's incredibly intuitive decision to make Siya Kolisi the Bok captain and his embracing of the quota system, which has quite clearly turned the pre-2018 reputation of the game in SA from that of a wealthy private school / university educated white minority sport into a national treasure for literally everyone! If ANYone is deserving of South Africa's highest civilian honour, the Order of Mapungubwe (OMP), it is Johan "Rassie" Erasmus - Bok fans need to start a campaign for Rassie to be awarded this medal for his monumental contribution to not just the sport, but the country as a whole!!! 🤘
Feel for Juarno Augustus
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit. Wow. Spot on Tim
Really excited for Pead for the future.
Looking forward to your return to SA Tim! School boy rugby has always been some of my favorite rugby to watch live. It is always fast and exciting.
Then there is still RubenVan heerder as lock
At this rate, you will earn honorary citizenship soon, Tim. Please visit our Department of Home Affairs for your South African passport before you leave in July. Love your content. Thanks!
Lekker Dr Rassie 💪
Massive for Siyaya and 100% deserved.
Here's a thought: July 4th is American Independence Day - invite the U.S. Ambassador for a glass of champagne to your function, considering they will host the Men's Rugby World Cup in 2031 and the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2033.
LOL "its not fair" . . . Had a good chuckle at that chirp 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
