An overseas-based writer has again hit out at the Springboks, suggesting a new World Cup winner is needed for the sake of 'integrity'.

“Why are South African fans cowering at the prospect of the Boks sweeping NZ 2-0? This is the worst AB side in 25 years statistically speaking. Not a soul in NZ rates them. This is gift wrapped for you, two tests at home. Cowardice preamble for the ‘world champs’ and all that.” If you run through Smith’s current timeline, there are numerous other examples of passive aggressive chirps and digs at the Springboks, which constantly rile up passionate Bok fans.I’d argue South Africa and New Zealand don’t deserve to win the RWC at all. Both have already lost to known better sides. Combined they have won 1/9 against Ireland & France over the last 3 years. We need integrity back with the world champion tag.
And perhaps this is also the case for Smith. Perhaps it’s all just banter to him, and possibly as a keyboard warrior based a million miles away from South Africa and the Springboks, he may just get a kick out of getting a reaction from emotional fans.guy sitting in a pub showing your mates how South Africans are overreacting, and getting a giggle out of it.
