Initial thought was penalty and maybe yellow for the neck roll. Didn't realise he'd rolled onto the knee. Was poor technique at best. Considering boks lost our only specialist hoover at 3min I think it was fair enough. Losing Bongi was a huge problem esp lineout. It also resulted in a blown front ro...

Did anyone ready today's article in the NY times about the evidence in the hospital blast?... I don't have a subscription but the snippet I read seems to imply the the evidence the IDF and US intelligence used was wrong and that the projectile they said caused the blast actually came from Israel.. ...

I beg to differ - that is absolutely an argument in favour of people going around using racial slurs. The idea of actively challenging inappropriate behaviour isn't new. Much as I hate to admit, I agree with Mog here. x( . The Wendell example is a good one. I just cant understand why exactly he fel...

Big Wendall Sailor said something pertinent about twenty years ago. When asked by a journalist how it made him feel that someone in the crowd had called him a "black c-word", he replied, "well, I suppose it's pretty offensive to be called a c-unt". My respect for him sky-rocketed after that. Gettin...

Bah x( Go back to 5 nations and 2 months long full tours. Abolish the world cup and just have a 4 test series between the Boks and All Blacks every 4 years. Lions Tours to continue as is. Players to travel by ship and have proper jobs. All matches to be played at 3pm no matter where they are. While ...

The bit that pisses me off (other than the time wasted) is that most refs just refuse to allow an advantage and give a huge blast of the whistle as they gleefully extend their arm immediately. Good refs like Gardner and Peyper let it play out, so-so refs like Barnes blow immediately then apologise ...

Followed a journalist on Instagram this morning who's on the ground in Gaza. His following went from almost 0 to 7 million within a few days. Had to unfollow him after looking at some of his posts. Christ almighty they're depressing, I couldn't get the scenes of seriously injured and dead babies ou...

I dont understand the hate. Its theoretically a match between the third and 4th best teams of the tourny. It also counts for double rankings points (I assume). Its a chance for supporters whose teams missed out on a final to see them one last time in action. OK in this case, England are in it, so no...

Was that Ben Earl? I noticed it; low no arms tackle, but it was in conjunction with someone else who effected the tackle so was missed. Should have been a penalty. Both tacklers went in low, no arms. Need to back and watch to see who it was, but it was from an attacking lineout after a penalty, aro...

The only positive outcome from this thread is that we now have a new way of circumventing the swear police .

You are all a bunch of Kants !

Keep scrums, but you shouldn't be able to take another scrum off a shortarm. It's absurd. To compensate I'd allow the scrummy to take a quick tap anywhere before the opposition's last feet in the scrum. The unintended consequence of removing scrums would be even less space on the field as players w...

So white is a pejorative now? Make your mind up. If he is showing contempt for someone being white, that is 100% racist. If he is showing disapproval for someone being white, that is also 100% racist. You've tied yourself up in knots. Sigh. the 'tall fat short' bit was in replacement for white, 'pe...

So can you please define power, real power. Currently in SA the majority are in power, so does that mean Mbonambi is in a position of power? Therefore he can be racist towards white people because where he comes from they are the minority? They aren't separate things. Racism comes from a group in p...

Bent O'Keefe was blowing every call Englands way up until Farrel started getting chirpy. I think that pissed BOK off a bit and he seemed a bit more even handed after that. Noone seems to have mentioned the torpedo tackle on Mostert close to the line which resulted in spilled ball. No arms. Around t...

Get called that every time I go down to Wellington street in the centre of perth. Doesn't bother me at all. They don't like it when I tell them to fvck off and get a job tho.

Personally Im very sorry Ireland arent still in it. Went to the SA v Ireland pool game at Stade and it was the single greatest game I have ever attended. Not necessarily in terms of wow factor, but the atmosphere created by the Irish fans was beyond description. Genuinely passionate, knowledgable an...

Is this a new thing? I noticed O'keefe immediately called time off every time the scrum went down in the last 10min. As a saffer this did my heart no good at all, but in general I would love that policy to be applied all the time.

Is this a new thing and what is the actual law in this regard?

Catman

I miss Globus on threads like this.

BTW is he dead?

Catman

Whats this then? I thought that getting rid of the saffa teams was going to be the magic pill that transforms SR into a trans-Pacific comp that would be the pinnacle of world rugby!? Being able to watch scintillating rugby at a convenient hour was going to bring in masses of spectators, and fabulous...

this sums up my position - written by Gareth Cliff I am not a Jew and I’m not a citizen of Israel. I haven’t even visited Israel. I don’t trace my religion back to a holy site in Jerusalem and I don’t have a problem with Arabs or Muslims or Christians. I’ve read about Abraham, Moses, David and Solom...

These kind of pricks - and society in general to be frank - have totally forgotten that they are not doing the employee a favour by hiring them. The employee is doing you a favour. You're paying them to do it FFS. I f-cking hate entitled employers. Especially the ones that ask you to do hours of wo...

Nige seems to think the right calls were made. What would he and a panel of professional referees know though? Especially after viewing every possible angle available in neutral surroundings without thousands of baying, drunken fans? Idiots and fools

Are they actually any good, or is it like watching your kid in a primary school production? Do the evening kickoffs have a horror movie quality to it? They're beautiful.

Attn Boredies I have decided to launch a new global cult: "Finitia" The way it works is as follows: Using a (still to be developed) AI algorithm, cultees will upload all relevant personal medical data, which will be analysed by the Finitia bot (still looking for clever names for it), which will dete...
