Thank you gents! You do awesome work with the future soccer stars of SA! Good luck for a great season ahead!

Can someone do this in French for us please, just so that the arrogant @FranceRugby lads can understand where they actually are?

@ChalynRugby Hahaha. Luckily I do now some good losers in your part of the world. But keep on hating, it gives us joy!!

85 line out wins and zero eye-gouges. 👏 #Allblacks #Rugby

@Aryan42832Goel Which England players in recent years are NOT goats????🤣🤣

I see the bazzball & goat comments have died down a bit? When people think & reason with their emotion, it happens. Pretty much like India's goat comments on Jasprit. Then you realize that he is the same as Marco, who can bat. Goat comments start with @jacqueskallis75 #ashes25

@slatterywill I agree. Very much like the willfull dangerous, no arms tackles to the head from Farrel that he nearly ever got pinned for.

An intentional thumb in the eye only costs you 12 weeks of rugby 'Good conduct' & 'remorse' at the hearing are deemed mitigation for a deliberate eye gouge What planet are some people living on?

@Aryan42832Goel Match winner???😁😁😁 Then he should have done better because they still fell short. Seriously, how can you even compare him with Jacques Kallis?

@KP24 Great work Kevin!😁

I just paid R200 for 12 beers for a flight tomorrow in South Africa. That’s £9! What’s a beer cost these days in London?

BREAKING. 🚨 Jan-Hendrik Wessels has failed to appeal his nine-week suspension. However, the independent appeal committee has reduced his ban by just one-week to eight. Wessels will still miss all of the Springboks' November internationals. URC Statement: "An Independent Appeal Hearing was held today (Wednesday, October 29) regarding the citing and subsequent suspension of Jan-Hendrik Wessels of the Vodacom Bulls which had resulted in a nine-game ban. "An independent appeal committee led by Roddy MacLeod (Scotland) as Chair alongside Achille Reali (Italy) & Robert Milligan KC (Scotland) convened to determine the appeal. The Player and the Club requested a de novo hearing. However, having regard to the United Rugby Championship’s disciplinary rules, the panel considered that there were not exceptional circumstance to allow the request. "Accordingly, the appeal proceeded on the basis that the Player and the Club wished to challenge the decision of the initial hearing and the length of the ban. The basis of such an appeal requires an appellant to demonstrate that the first instance disciplinary panel erred in its findings. After reviewing the grounds of appeal and hearing from the Player and his Club the appeal committee dismissed the substantive grounds of appeal, but reduced the ban by one week. "The panel did so on the basis that the initial reduction from the low-end entry point (of 12 weeks) did not take into account an aspect of the Player’s conduct in the context of the case. Accordingly, the appeal committee determined that four weeks should be deducted from the headline entry suspension. "The Player will now miss eight games and will be free to play from December 20."

@Werries_ Seriously?

While I don't have a direct quote for you yet, here is roughly Shukri Conrad's reason for the omission of David Bedingham It is horses for courses. He feels the other batters are more suited to the conditions they expect to face against India He feels Hamza is one of our best players against spin in those conditions, and was very close to selection against Pakistan, but missed out due to the balance of the side

@TommyTudehope @wallabies @MarikaKoroibete Indeed, amazing wrap of the left arm especially.

Marika Korobete appreciation post. Brilliant for the @wallabies every time he stepped on the pitch. Few moments finer than this perfectly legal tackle against the Springboks. Yes, the mere mention of it will have them frothing at the mouth.

A fantastic coach that is earning his stripes without a big mouth and telling everyone where he should be coaching like some SA coaches! The elephant in the room remains the shocking reality of the under coached and poorly managed Lions. But view apparently care?

@bensmithrugby Make sure you understand all the big words you are using, fundamental, frauds etc. Then quickly check, the Boks are 4 times world champs and 'defrauded' the world of two in a row now, if you missed it clown click baiter.

There’s been a fundamental misunderstanding why NZ’ers want the very best French side down here. It’s a mentality thing. You want the best challenge for the All Blacks at all times! Some Bok fans out there simply don’t get it! They’ll take a hollow win 15-on-14 one point win with open arms. They’ll take charity and celebrate it like they’re rugby Gods. That’s a weak mentality. That loses Mana. The All Blacks are not in the business of being frauds!

@poormanscaviar Spare vehicle??

Off to Joburg for a few days, anything I’m missing? * we have spare tyres for the potholes and a water tanker. #Sandton

Congratulations @LFC this is really something very special. Your supporters are extraordinary ❤️@SiyaKolisi well done on your beloved team

@Brendennel Very good and repetetive question. How much more??

Lions fans can ask themselves. Six seasons and no success. After first two, all the assistant coaches were fired, replaced and nothing better. Will there be introspection at Ellis Park, or are they happy with the mediocrity?

The sickening judgement is as bad as this player's action. How do you only find 3 weeks in an attrocious attack like this on a sportsman? The French love story in rugby is very similar to that of India & the @ICC. Wake up @WorldRugby you are weak & absolutely sick as organization

Winning the B League. Well done France.

A Champion representing South Africa on international stage entering the ring wearing SA flag, I must now not support him because he did or said something I or you disagree with, you guys have gone mad. Well done @dricusduplessis 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

@Retief_Dan I cannot even smile to this stupidity, living under a rock surely.

For a moment I thought it was April 1 !

@AdriaanBasson Jip News24 editor in chief. No more needed to explain. Maybe move around without your shades a bit mate?

It feels good to have a president who stands up for human dignity, justice and peace in an increasingly populist world. 🇿🇦
