[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 817817, member: 73648"] the thing is i know a lot about rugby in the sense of playing it, refereeing it, and watching it it's tough for me to get across what exactly i'm missing: it's more the fan culture of different countries and areas i guess mainly I'm very knowledgeable about the game itself and more recent rugby developments but the overall rugby identity of nations i am more unaware partly because i am only in my early twenties and live in a country where rugby is a game we play (or watch when rarely on TV) and not a spectator sport where we know which countries and teams are historically successful like when i was asking about what standards you hold the springboks to i know that the springboks aren't good cause they play like ****; poor tackling, unimaginative attacking of defensive line, can't kick to points to save their life it's just i have no point of reference to what the springboks "should" be all i have is records saying that they are playing as well as they ever had... you know what i mean?
