I thought South Africa was an unacceptable safety risk before COViD-19. Well you are the SA social commentary expert in here. Wise move. Things are c...

Re: Two NRL superstars caught drink driving in one night
Yes, it's an issue. Much like that toxic issue in South African sport that manifests itself in match fixing and murder. I blame soy milk. Deflection ain't going to fix the problem.

Re: 2021 B&I Lions Tour to switch to Australia?
Play it in Oz in front of a full crowd of expats. Split the takings 3 ways. I would f**king love it. My eighty year old dad would love it. He probably won't live to see another Lions tour.
