What do you guys remember about Mark De Marigny?

I do not remember him well, I do remember Roland. I am just asking as he lives local to me now and we follow each other on Strava, and I am sure when lockdown rules change we will get a chance to cycle together. Ex Sharks and Sevens player.

[taipan 2,568]

Sorry, can’t remember him.

[supersupporter 1,417]

I recall his brother, played for Italy for a while

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_de_Marigny

and vaguely him, but the brother does not sit in the mind. At that point I had moved to Joburg and lost touch with the goings of Sharks rugby.

I can remember Roland playing for a few SA sides but I know nothing about his brother.

Along with humour, sarcasm, logic  and basic common sense.

That is just typical UK reporting, they fail to highlight the other players, one being Manu Tuilagi who also chose not to, but since they come from a RACIST culture, then they must be racist for not giving in to snowflake culture

[taipan 2,568]

UK journalism has become totally snowflake orientated

This super 8 looks like another joke competition. We must cut all ties with NZ rugby including the rugby championship. Let their cash dry up.

Loving watching the Kiwis getting twitchy. If they can't afford to pay their players well then the NRL will come for them with bags of gold

Everyone has been saying this for years. Best move SA could have done was get away and join the NH. Just straight up logic says it is the right move.

[supersupporter 1,417]

Rugby needs to start selling players, this is the only way unions can actually make some money. Just like football, SA should start selling their players, I have said this for years, these unions invest huge amounts of money in their players, only to have them walk away with all the talent that has been invested in. Cheetahs could probably be the richest team in the world.

They already know that, this is why so many ex-players are coming out saying that this is good blah blah blah..They know all too well this move not having SA is bad for them.

Someone once told me that SOUTH AFRICA have underwritten this competition since its inception.

They will. There’s always a reason the AB’s lose, like food poisoning, referees etc. they are never simply outplayed.

Pumas lift suspensions over racist tweets in shock U-turn | Sport (news24.com)

Can't help but be cynical about the AB's laying a black Maradona shirt on the pitch last week before the game.......was it genuine sorrow or another AB plot using every trick in the book to win a game??

We'll have to wait for the next "tell all" rugby book.

 

[taipan 2,568]

Plot for sure. Same as the Haka.
