If we called off games in NZ due to some rain, we would never play.

[@HiMom2024]

I remember playing in a game where the mud was so bad we couldn’t see the lines lol

[@lloydbeattie9370]

Notice we play better than most on wet ground.

[@bolobolo7928]

We had a couple games where the ref would blow a scrum at any ruck longer than 5 seconds. The puddles were deep enough to drown in 😅

[@lindsayj56]

Haven't had a wet game all year

[@OuttheGate114]

Had one game called off in NZ we got to the ground and it had water like this over it. Because we hated each other they said it was wise to call it off so we didn't kill each other and that was early 90s. But in this day and age grounds should have good drainage seems like the drainage system couldn't keep up with this one. Hopefully South Africa rugby will sort it out with the field being named after a famous Springbok

[@korocam9137]

AB’s U20 forward pack are very much improved this year, the captain is World Class.

Once in a life the Spanish national team will play with NZ.... And the game was suspended due heavy rain 😅 that's I call it bad luck

Would’ve been a privilege for them to play against a great rugby nations, too bad South African weather ruined😢😂

[@dimetilldeath]

One of thoe most historic stadiums in south Africa. literally 17 people in the stands

[@iancurtis1152]

Great to see countries where Rugby is not their national sport playing the way they do. I’ve heard Malta has a pretty good side also.

[@jasonsmith3573]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@tewaewae]

Good effort guys, players from both teams and officials

[@davidsat24]

Again the fields are a disaster, why play here?? Same thing happened previously, playing in the mud. Embarrassing for South Africa. Danie Craven would be ashamed. Drainage FFS???

[@Odinstargazer]

Prestigious Stadium but shocking field condition

[@iancurtis1152]

Sideline cameras unprepared as well.

[@OuttheGate114]

The only thing I could put down too Was the drainage system couldn't keep up. After all the field was named after a famous Springbok hopefully South Africa Rugby will put some money into getting it fixed.

[@geotruthnz7013]

This Cape town weather makes New Zealand look like a desert

[@aaronclair4301]

Hahaha. I've played in games in NZ where we walked off the field weighing twice our normal weight with the mud on us.

Yes, it was to protect the surface

Spain should focus on Football where they are ONE OF THE BEST or focus on SEVEN'S RUGBY... if Spain can't beat England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland/Italy then no point joining all this junior competition; USA Men's and Women's is better then their 15 a side.. maybe Spain should be doing that too

[@RoyLimisAw3s0me]

@@Waks23 I like your enthusiasm but if Spain improve; top tier will also improve so their target is never achievable (if getting to the Rugby World Cup is their target within 6 years then it's an achievable target) - if winning the Rugby World Cup in 20 years is like asking pigs to fly :) and I do know Spain is still a young but they are a tier below the Tier 1 team in Europe.. if they beat Georgia consistently then I will say they are better then Georgia :P
