The Proteas getting klapped by the Black Caps in another ICC tournament… Honestly, the Springboks are just the Proteas with better ‘luck’. The ‘gold watch’ semi-final in 1995. Suzie the waitress in the final. The 2007 Steven Bradberry run. The 2019 cakewalk and then the 2023 charity event of the century, 15-on-14 final and only winning by a point. The Proteas just aren’t getting the same level of assistance, but make no mistake, they are the same.

@shockerhess Die mense is baie kakkerig. One of those two you mention jubilantly declared JSK the winners as they celebrated securing the Super Over against DSG. Yet not even a sorry for such a ginormous balls-up. Even broomstick-up-his-arse Mark Nicholas apologises for making mistakes

🗣️ "Yet another example of the level of inconsistency from officials throughout the month" Ireland great claims Eben Etzebeth’s ‘inexcusable’ actions based on Springboks mentality which has become ‘part and parcel’ of Rassie Erasmus’ squad 🇿🇦 planetrugby.com/news/ireland-g…

@FrontRowRugbyXV But he does have a point. Bok record against Ireland is poor. We have never even beaten them in the World Cup quarterfinals 🙃

So the Boks will lose because their fans are arrogant. Solid scientific stuff if ever I saw it.

@ChalynRugby Besides winning, Rassie is redefining rugby. 7-1 split, scrum call in own 22, “the move”, bomb squad, dual backline - loose forward. The ingenuity alone is unmatched, especially considering where he found the Boks.

First look at the Indian-built Suzuki Victoris at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. Slots in below the Grand Vitara in India, where it also runs on compressed biomethane gas. We don’t know yet if it is coming to South Africa. @TheCitizen_News @Suzuki_ZA #JapanMoblityShow

@scrumming_ten Maybe mister owner man must catch a wake-up then. Why price tickets R60-R190 and have an embarrassing turnout of only 12000? Make it R50 max and get at least 30 000 fans in with SAB giving each a free beer. Not rocket science people

@LangaLikeTheSun @CaptSpringbok Refs not allowed to penalise a team for only embarrassing the home crowd 😂. It’s like that Leon Schuster movie: “Kannie pale skop vir ‘n poep nie!”

Rewatched NZ v SA and noticed again how refs aren’t rewarding scrum dominance anymore. Clearly a World Rugby directive. 9s just feed it straight through the back, killing the contest. If scrums become league-style restarts, what’s the point? Rugby loses one of its most unique aspects, and anyone who loves rugby loves a scrum. It’s a slippery slope.
