@BarneySimon Fred.

Which player has the coolest name in football history?

@RobHouwing He looks a very special talent. That was some try.

This time last year (League Cup final day) I basked in Newcastle winning their first major trophy since 1969. Today, just ahead of same final, I had to sit through them losing the derby in company of Sunderland-loving father in law, from 1-0 up. Cruel how the wheel turns.

Is Antoine Dupont not even the best player in his own national team?

The Bulls vs Stormers match is like a refereeing clinic given how much talk there is. Every decision explained, debated or argued, players weighing in on the talk-fest. What's the whistle for?

How bad is the sound quality in this Bulls-Stormers @URCOfficial game? Commentary too soft compared to officials and game sound. But also the commentators are talking when we want to hear the officials. Absolute mess @SuperSportTV 👎

@stabestweet Outstanding after long absence.

@RobHouwing Wonder how much Ruhan Nel influenced things?

I think we now know the answer to my question a few days ago: Stormers went back strongly toward grunt (a la early season) and they've outfoxed the Bulls comprehensively at Loftus. Didn't expect this result, by the way!

@stabestweet @NeilManthorp It has definitely been getting grubbier, sadly.

Watching the WP/Boland game on TV and Newlands is looking a quite run down. Outfield not great, infrastructure unkempt. @NeilManthorp @RobHouwing

@LukeEdwardsTele 100 percent.

Heartbreaking for Newcastle United. They were the better team tonight and deserved to win. A heroic performance. Story of their season though. They are the nearly men. Tired challenge from Thiaw, needless foul by Willock in the build up to that. Referee played longer than the added time on the board but got to see that game out #nufc

There was a positive for this fractious world in the night. Ben Smith has switched from rugby to cricket.

@NUFC Time to accept Woltemade signing was a mistake? Ineffectual wherever he plays!

We're knocked out of the FA Cup. ⏱️
