@GeorgeBramatt @bensmithrugby Properly good point

@bensmithrugby The Red Roses have won 70 of their last 72 games. Just saying.

The three greatest international rugby teams of all-time: 1. 2015 All Blacks 2. 2023 All Blacks 3. 2013 All Blacks

Oh look, a U-turn 😀

@verminlionel @scrumming_ten That’s because Barnes was one of the best refs on the planet and actually penalised Richie for not coming through the gate 😜

@scrumming_ten Barnes has refereed 11 All Blacks games involving IRE, FRA or AUS. NZ have lost 6 for a winning percentage of 45%. Since 2007 excluding games Barnes refereed NZ has played another 62 games against IRE, FRA and AUS, losing 7 and drawing three. WINNING PERCENTAGE of 86%

Today's date: 11-12. A happy 11-12 day to everyone in New Zealand ❤️

@ratracecontende @jaredwright17 @WorldRugby This will continue to be a farce until 'intent' is factored into the decisioning. None of the other cards, incl the 'non-cards' to SFM and O'Brien were intentional. James Ryan's ive was both illegal and deliberate. For that reason alone it should a straight red and a lengthy ban.

@jaredwright17 @WorldRugby , again a Stirling job guys. I mean well done

Slap on the wrist for James Ryan who has been banned for *three weeks. *Reduced by a week when he completes World Rugby’s Coaching Intervention Programme.

@Outhalf @jaredwright17 Emerald-tinted glasses

@jaredwright17 No head contact should have been just a penalty

@bensmithrugby Show me you know F-all about rugby without showing me you know F-All about rugby

Bielle-Biarrey with 8 tries in the 6N deserving, but Antoine Dupont with 7 try assists equally deserving but due to voter fatigue doesn’t get a look in. The dead-heat Boks, who finished with the same record as the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship, get three wild nominations. None of these Boks produced more than Ardie Savea, never mind that their best player Sacha F-M, a guy who actually wins matches, isn’t picked. Ox Nche with 0.07 carries per minute and 0.09 tackles per minute, plays about half the minutes every game. Never in a million years should a loose head be in the running. Will Skelton, on his limited time with the Wallabies, was more influential than all three of them.

@PDoyle1988 @rugby_ap This from the original “won nothing” crybaby Irish supporters. lol

@rugby_ap South Africans fucking crying again Learn that shoulder charges are illegal you might be ok 🥸

Direct red btw. Get a grip

@ElonMuskNews47 Yes

The URC can’t start fast enough

@followthebounce You certainly picked one to miss BK. Arguably their best ever performance

First Bok game I’m missing in many years…

@FrancoisMa90111 @bensmithrugby It was shotty reffing, but definitely not biased

@bensmithrugby The officiating has been well below par in these tests. Thinking a dodgy french ref is the way to go, they don’t seem to favour anyone

The stranglehold choke out by Fassi worthy of the octagon after no clear release with Wallabies hot on attack about to score. And of course, no replays. Huge moment and professional foul by Fassi to save the Boks.

@alphonceg181883 @bensmithrugby Agree except the neck roll policing was shocking for both sides… consistently. Three neck rolls at the rucks by the wallabies not policed

@bensmithrugby This had me screaming at the television. No review. Why? FFS the inconsistency of the officiating is killing the game.

@JamsSupreme @AntiCommieBecca @TRobinsonNewEra They don’t hate immigrants mate. I’m an immigrant and I am welcomed, mainly because I followed the correct channels and because I’m a taxpayer and a contributor. This is one of the most accepting countries in the world.

@RAGunner72 @robprogressive @grok is thi statement accurate?

This is "on top of." Instead of paying stamp duty on the sale, the buyer pays money each year over and above the cost of £500,000 on the property. So if you buy a home, say, at £600,000, you will have to pay a percentage in tax on £100,000 every year that you own the property. This breaks down as follows: 0.54% annually on the portion of the property's value above £500,000 0.81% on values exceeding £1 million A potential 0.44% local property levy could also replace council tax, applied to homes valued between £500,000 and £800,000

Labour want to TAX you every single year just for owning your home If your home is worth more than £500,000, Labour want you to pay 0.54% EVERY year. Here’s what that looks like: ↳ £550,000 = £2,970 a year ↳ £600,000 = £3,240 a year ↳ £700,000 = £3,780 a year ↳ £800,000 = £4,320 a year ↳ £1,000,000 = £5,400 a year Just for OWNING your home You’ve already paid stamp duty, income tax, council tax… now forced to pay this new property tax This is a SCAM by the government

@MarianneSansum This is totally fake AI generated content. Whether you agree with the sentiment or not, one thing is clear is that it’s a poor attempt. @CNviolations

@j00ny369T She’s 100% right. Happened to me in the inside of both knees from having an oil heater under my desk.

What happens when you repeatedly sit in front of an electric space heater?

@RadioGenoa What I don’t get is “why?”. Can someone explain the end goal to me?

Keir Starmer says he will bring 1 million Pakistanis to England as new nursery and primary school teachers.

@rugbyphilosophy @bensmithrugby Some context for you. Ben Smith is a troll and has been baiting South African fans for ages, hence the comments. Not sure why we even respond to him to be fair.

@bensmithrugby These comments 🤦‍♂️ all Ben did was literally state a fact..

Kelston Boys beat South Africa’s top 1st XV Paul Roos 20-12 to win the World Schools Festival. Third year running the title has been won by a NZ school.

@LongLostMFFL @mark_keohane @Springboks @lionsofficial @AllBlacks @SiyaKolisi I’m a massive Bok fan and I couldn’t agree more. The McCaw, Hansen, Carter, Reid era ABs have some ridiculous record of 11 losses in 98 games or something like that. Truly the greatest squad of all time for me

@mark_keohane @Springboks @lionsofficial @AllBlacks @SiyaKolisi Most ABs fans don’t mind if SA is on top you are our biggest rival . what we get pissed off at is putting them over the clear greatest team of all time when quite frankly it’s not close

It really irks the rest of the rugby world that @Springboks are back to back World Cup winners @lionsofficial series winners Rugby Championship winners, have beaten @AllBlacks 4 times in succession & have lost just 4 in their last 28 Test matches. Thank you @SiyaKolisi @RassieRugby @Springboks Started the year No 1 in the world. Ended it No 1.

@SimonBorchardt Could not agree more

This goal-line dropout law for being held up over the tryline has got to be scrapped. Attacking team deserves a 5m scrum.
