@horbury_jo45232 @rugbyexpansion @Lattman_ When did David Pocock retire?
I hope Tino Mavesere will play for Zim at the World Cup
English

@rugbyexpansion @Lattman_ Retired due to knee issues sadly but hoping Snyman and Darrien Landsberg show up for Zim as they are lacking in that department for the WC.

@FrontRowRugbyXV @RugbyRules Nah, most of us 'got it' - we're all being facetious and/or sarcastic. I'm criticising the person who created it - you're doing God's work by posting that absurdity
English

@BeASport17 @RugbyRules I put it up as a joke to highlight the absurdity of the graphic.
Apparently 5% of my followers got it.
English

@FrontRowRugbyXV definitely not the correct pic for some of our athletes though lol
English

@FrontRowRugbyXV @RugbyRules Ya, Pienaar & Jaque Fourie were real toughies - I might have struggled with most of those if I didn't have the context of rich SA sportsmen. As a knowledgeable, fanatical SA sports fan I could never have released that graphic in good conscience

GOT TO love both Moms and Dads around a #cricket field… Heart rates at an all time high!!…all really for their own love and care - which actually quite often can have the opposite effect in terms of the added pressures…🧐😅🏏

This guy spent $3,140 on chocolate pudding and got 1.25 MILLION free airline miles
His name is David Phillips and in May 1999 he was a 35 year old civil engineer at UC Davis when he spotted a Healthy Choice promotion
It was offering 500 frequent flyer miles for every 10 product barcodes mailed in, doubled to 1,000 miles if you mailed them in by May 31
He did the math on the cheapest Healthy Choice product he could find
Individual chocolate pudding cups were on sale at his local Grocery Outlet for 25 cents each, meaning $2.50 of pudding could buy him 1,000 airline miles
The airlines themselves valued those miles at around $20
He drove a van from store to store across California with his mother in law, cleaned out 10 different Grocery Outlets around the Sacramento area and ended up with 12,150 pudding cups stacked from his garage to his living room
When suspicious cashiers asked what he was doing he told them he was "stocking up for Y2K"
The early bird deadline was 3 weeks away and there was no way he could peel that many barcodes alone, so he called the Salvation Army and proposed a trade
He would donate all 12,150 cups if their volunteers peeled the labels off first
This donation also got him an $815 federal tax write off on top of everything
He mailed the barcodes in by the deadline and then heard absolutely nothing back for 2 months
His friends told him corporations always get out of promotions like this and his kids even started asking him if he got scammed
Then a giant package showed up at his door with paper certificates worth 1,253,000 frequent flyer miles, which made him a lifetime AAdvantage Gold member at American Airlines and was worth around $150,000 in flights
The Wall Street Journal put him on the front page in January 2000 and the London Times wrote about him a week later
Over the next 5 years he flew his entire family to 43 countries, and in 2002 director Paul Thomas Anderson loosely based the movie Punch Drunk Love on him
Adam Sandler made a movie about him and he paid for the ticket with pudding

@OMG_ITS_NDABA @dcron911 @SimonBorchardt You can 4 to 5 times that amount - we're talking Billions for a R20k+ seater, training fields & offices
English

@dcron911 @SimonBorchardt There's no changing Lion's current address without an injection of money Lions has never seen before.
And to what end? R500 million capex spend so Lions attendance can "look better on TV"?
The increase in ticket revenue won't wind down that R500m capex bill quickly.
English

This is what the Lions need – a new 30,000-capacity stadium in a decent part of Joburg. Bok Tests can be played at FNB Stadium. sarugbymag.co.za/crusaders-unve…

@imRohit_SN Thank you for saying that - Klaasen needs to at least make himself available for ODIs again, we need him at next year's WC. I do however believe it's an issue with Conrad - when he took over the white ball teams Klaasen retired
English

The likes of Heinrich Klaasen, Nicholas Pooran being the shadow of their former selves should be warning bells for the current gen of up and coming T20 players. To remain the best you need to play the best as much as you can.
I understand the financial part of it, and it's fair that players look to maximise their earnings during their short careers. But even from their pov, someone like Pooran, who's only 30, will be maximising his chances of playing top flight leagues with good pay if he can stay on top of his game. Instead, he might end up playing a plethora of leagues year round to make as much or slightly lower if his value in a league like IPL goes down.

@shockerhess @NeilManthorp Nah can’t say that, think of Smith, Warner…
He fffd up, but he’s young and can always come back. My question is, have we heard his side? Why did he do what ge did? As a professional player, no flights are booked, contracts signed, or NOC is ever just done by the player alone…

How can there be no coming back. He made a mistake, was most probably badly advised. He is a good cricketer, will learn and definitely come back from this!
stuart hess@shockerhess
I guess there is no coming back after what Swanepoel did. Going to be hard for him to rebuild trust whatever path he chooses to follow in the future...
