Question

Do you think South Africa is best when comes to Rugby?

Answer 1

I wouldn't say they are the best all round, in this years competition however they were... if any team was 'the best', there would be no point whatsoever in having world cup matches - as it would be obvious who was going to win.

All teams improve in between each arrival of the RWC, the best team i believe is the team that has worked the hardest in training, throughout the rugby union matches etc to win the tournament that year (and for the next four years).

Answer 2

Yes SA is fully the best. They have the best lineout in world rugby without a doubt, the best flankers, the best winger (Habana), they have a calm head under pressure (very important) and one of the most promising players soon to be a better drop goaler than Wilkison (Steyn). Nobody else has this much talent, no, not even the ABs. So I think you are mad to suggest SA is not the best team. They are not miles ahead in the game, but they are definantly ahead. :)

Oh and to all you kiwis, you are such dreamers. The All Blacks went out in the QUATER FINAL. How on earth can you still say they are best in the world??

Answer 3

Win a tri nations before you start gloating aye Bokke

Answer 4

Sorry, NZ is the best when it comes to Rugby. You are still better than my team though... but the gap is narrowing.

Answer 5

I would have liked to see you play france australia or new zealand during the competition, and you have zero strength in depth,...but we will see when you play Wales in Cardiff in a few weeks whether you are the best..

Answer 6

They are this year.  They will be the team that we all want to beat.

Roll on the tri nations and the Mandela Plate

Answer 7

Quite simply, nope.  They aren't.  Sure, they won the world cup, but they didn't play any of the top ranked teams and everyone who follows the Tri-Nations is aware of their dreadful inability to play well away from home.  

And to Kaitepai, did you watch the quarterfinal with the AB's.  They didn't lose it, they were reffed out of the game by a friggin englishman who had just seen the English qualify for the semi and the winner of the game was going to play his poms.  Conspiracy????

Answer 8

South africa  after the all blacks are the best rugby team in the world

Answer 9

no i still think that the All Blacks are the best team in the world, im not a huge fan of the South African team, i think the are good and everything, they have some really good players, but i really think that South Africa lack sportsmanship, they always play really dirty, trying to bend the rules etc

Answer 10

I think they deserve the title yes (this coming from an Englishman) but being the best is always a changing thing. Teams in the past who were greater still deserve to be called the best.

Answer 11

yes there are for now ,they wins.They will be a team to watch in the next 4 years

Answer 12

As A New Zealander, id have to say the ALL BLACKS are the best team on EARTH! lol but it was a fair game and south africa defiantely deserved to win =] XX

Answer 13

if the world cup is the be all end all of rugby then this year yes they are, in my humble opinion though N - O, noooooo, they are by far one of thee best teams however I still think the ABs have one over on them and it is a pity the ABs never got there mack on at the world cup, me thinks that game has been forged into the ABs mind forever and they will never make a mistake like that again. Ooooooh I know they been making the same mistake for the past four world cups but hey this time 4yrs on they will be winners! mark my words!! lol
