Re: TRC: All Blacks vs Springboks: Match Thread: Saturday 15th July
Reflections after a second watch: From an overall perspective, apart from Frizzell being in beast mode, I feel it was the forward's handling that was the feature of the first half hour, along with ruck speed, and Smith just moving the ball so quickly. We hit the wall a wee bit, had a scrum shoved b...

Yeah my family has shown me that it’s not nearly a consensus of opinion as it’s promoted .

Regardless of the injustice or otherwise of the shooting
The sheer amount of looting suggests justice is not top of the agenda for the rioters.
You don't get justice by stealing new Volkswagens, motorcycles and torching residential buildings.
