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:
"The first-half was one of the most chaotic periods of rugby anyone inside St James' Park will have witnessed. The second-half was just as mad. Scotland came out from half-time with a plan to kick for touch in an attempt to heap pressure on the Samoan defence, but the Dark Blues failed to execute it and Samoa went with them right to the end. Greig Laidlaw thought he'd won it for his side when he touched down on 75 minutes but the Pacific Islanders ensured a terrifying final two minutes when Patrick Fa'apale went over to make it a three-point game. Scotland clung on, but there will be few fingernails left on the fingers of their fans after that heart-stopping game. "
