It's been another busy week across the rugby world, with Ian Foster, in particular, right in the spotlight.
Max Jorgensen has revealed how the despair of being ruled out of last year's Rugby World Cup was "100 percent" a major driver in his decision to recommit to the NSW Waratahs.
South Africa's double World Cup winning captain Siya Kolisi may not lead the side this year despite playing excellent rugby for French club Racing 92, coach Rassie Erasmus said on Tuesday.
Former Springbok lock Hannes Strydom has died in a car accident, South African Rugby confirmed on Monday, the fifth player from their victorious 1995 World Cup team to pass away.
Angus Bell and Taniela Tupou have lamented Australia's woeful World Cup campaign, pointing to injuries to key forwards and the non-selection of an "experienced 10" as the chief reasons behind a maiden pool-stage exit.
South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi has denied he used discriminatory language towards England flanker Tom Curry in their Rugby World Cup semifinal in October, labelling the allegations against him "unprofessional".
ESPN's Tristan Barclay had this to say:
"Who is writing these scripts? Scotland and Australia have just played out yet another thrilling World Cup quarterfinal and, with 60 seconds remaining, it looked as if we could have a monumental upset on our hands. The Scots ran the southern hemisphere side oh so close, putting in their best performance of the tournament and rattling the Aussie cage from the 10th minute to the last. Australia, however, have Bernard Foley and that kick to win it right at the death has to be one of the moment's of the World Cup. The boos were ringing out around Twickenham but Foley shut them out to boot his team into the final four. It's a shame there had to be a loser. What a game of rugby that was. "
