You are wrong.
No, he is right
No. He is not. Nor are you. Carrier never reduced his height. No matter if he is one inch off the grass, if he does not drop his height, there is SFA mitigation and onus is on tackler not to make head contact.

You didn’t listen to the ref then.

Lions getting shafted.
That was a try all day.
Tmo helping the Irish

Yeah. Lions shafted there. The tackler was on his knee and the ref said “ he should be lower” clown.

:smug: If only tries win , then make it slightly more possible by awarding 7 points . Remember when they were only worth 3 ? I think I do . I played when they were only 3 points. we still went for tries of course, being New Zealanders :D (Though the fact that at that age nobody was kicking a lot of ...

Are you actually trying to dispute the fact that the Springboks prefer a slow game, set piece heavy game? Look at the ball in play statistics from Springbok games versus All Black games in this RWC and have a thought about what you said. https://www.rugbypass.com/plus/has-ball-in-play-time-reached-...

Yet it is something that the Springboks have been doing since the advent of the Bomb Squad. No. No it isn't. You need to watch more Bok games if you want to pass comment on them. In fact, the AB's slowed the game down as much as possible in the loss in Australia. Are you actually trying to dispute ...

SA have played there hand... lets see if the AB's respond in kind.
There's going to be a lot of 'South African timeouts' with water bottles and fatties lying on the ground sucking in the big ones.

At the Twickenham game, most of the breaks were due to the ABs.

swissguy

It’s clear that Bongi is shouting “ Wit Kant” and Curry really should man up and come out publicly saying he got is wrong and apologize. As for those who moan that Bongi refused to shake his hand, would you shake hands with someone who has made a false and potentially career ending accusation about ...

swissguy

Lions denied a try cost them the match.

swissguy

So he is offside and the offending player. However he is accidentally offside because he cannot avoid being touched by the ball. The ball ricochets off him into a bok player who immediately knocks it on. The offending team gain an immediate advantage. Therefore that to me is a scrum to the boks eve...

This TMO is an absolute Farce.

Some suspect reffing here!
Best was asking Ramos “ are you ready” (to take the penalty) and when he said “yes”
Ref says “time on”.
Scrums been dodgy too.

swissguy

A proper f**king hooker, please. So you'd rather have Dwebe than the 2022 finalist for World Rugby player of the year called up? Marx is not replaceable but Fourie can cover Bombi and be average, not losing a game for us. Am is a game changer that has the potential to win us a game with one moment ...

Surprised DDA got the nod ahead of Esterhuizen. AE had out performed him since getting the jersey and offers a lot more on attack IMHO. Would have liked to see Moodie on the bench at least. Making a big assumption that SA forwards will dominate the Irish but if they don’t will be a long day for the ...

That's the WC chances likely gone.
Dweba is a provincial player on his best days.

Afrikaans father, English mother but his dad died whilst he was a kid so he was raised English.

Incredible at avoiding it. He spectates more than Bobby skinstad- might be a Province symptom.
Have you actually watch how little work he actually does?

I will be going to the ABs vs Springboks match next Friday. I recall that getting out of twickenham after a match is a bit of a mission. Can anyone recommend the best way for a family.

sugaring a bitter pill for the moment

With Am out, there was no way they could leave out Kolisi.
Unfortunately.
This team looks weak.
4 scrum halves one flyhalf- you know it’s going to be the old 10 man boring bok rugby

Marvin orie should be no where near a bok jersey.
Mostert subdued again
Is Trevor Nyakane even on the field.
Esterhuizen Reinach and Moodie carrying the boks at moment.

Absolute joke that both these side are on the weak side of the draw and stand a good chance of a semi final.
This has been dire.

swissguy

Rassie Erasmus handles things shoddily but Nic Berry really is atrocious.
Absolutely out of his depth in this game.

swissguy

Having to watch the Haka for every little occasion is bad enough, then we have to put up with a welcome to country speech, now a welcome dance.
Just F off with all this shit, or do it at the netball.

Ref is doing all to keep Toulouse in this game. What a shocker Policing the offside line and rucks VERY strictly, but has been pretty consistent I think. Bulls are not adapting and that's on them.

What about players who you didn't mind while playing but hate since they retired.

Haskell for me. The only rugby biography I didn't bother finishing. His ego would put Bono to shame. Comes across as a total posh c*ck.
