Harry whats your podcast ?

Scrap the Giteau Law: Rugby Australia should look to Rassie's 'Boks RWC recipe if it wants to re-join the big boys' table

great reply except the second last paragraph 🙂 Sorry I dont have a problem with it and scientifically fatigue is more dangerous to players than sizes and since this country is so into inclusion i would argue that this discussion raised by as well as many others – so not “picking” on you – is exclusive !!!

Finding the right kind of violence: Why rugby has never been harder to play

yeh na! or ja nee!

'I'm a big fan': Kiss throws weight behind Club World Cup as Europe and Super Rugby agree to new tournament

Now now CM lol ???? – but yes I will not be suprised to find many of countrymen pulled over the coals for this stuff . although considering the court system there one wonders if it will ever get through, although if it does get through it will show the influnece rugby is having a the political and judicial system in regards to pull lol.
To be fair to us though, the 2023 WC pulled in a whole new audience of SA’s and one must remember that while Afrikaans is linked to white domination it is used by a wide portion of ppl of various colours/ethnicity in SA – sadly the new audience needs to be educated on the values of rugby and being of upstanding nature…. and some do need to be caught for their efforts of BS that gets put up

And yes Id like some French to be used on this system too ????

Brisbane rugby fan convicted for 'vile and toxic' online abuse of TMO during RWC, as WR goes troll hunting

Thats a pretty shit thing to say tbh! in all directions thats unworthy but its not good enough to ignore the issue and try sweep it with jokes Bodger sorry man

Drua 'shocked at racial abuse' as Lomani faces judiciary over Canham blow

repeating what i heard but believe that is a start

Drua 'shocked at racial abuse' as Lomani faces judiciary over Canham blow

Lomani and Fihi Drua need to lay a charge with the police!!! This type of crap in society let alone sport needs someone somewhere at some point to actually go max on the issue!!! A good lawyer as suggested in another post will get the “fan” off the hook of $313 fine or 1 year in jail but life long bans from all sport stadiums through australia and all sports would be next. And hopefully one day a judge has the balls to ignore the lawyer and do the max effort .

interesting, and lame creation by someone once a upon a time… thank you for the info

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

I dont disagree PK … although it has crossed my mind was there a score to settle or something that happened on field?
But I agree its funny how that kind of violence on the street warrants a crime but not on a sports field ….

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

So this person – or any – can be charged? IS that right? I wonder what the punishment is? in SA if the k-word is used its jail …..

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

So unfortunate to be so close to that, it seemed like ppl got in the perps face but I was interested to see what his friends did or see what they were doing as it seemed he was sitting with others. I really felt sorry for Lomani
I do have a question, are the police called in these situations? Is racism illegal in Au?

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

thats sad to read

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

Its a great comment king!! Funny you raise that as one observes after Rassie was brought back with the help of Supersport many changes happened not just in Bok team structures etc but also have since happened the last 8 yrs in SA Rugby with many changes and developments of “back” office stuff being really good for game in SA and economic decisions being made from business perspective that ive never seen over the post isolation period ever

The Wrap: 'Take them to a dark place' - A quiet round grabs eyeballs for all the wrong reasons

Agree, I have a rule with my young teams I coach whereby bad behaviour will lead to being asked to stand out of training for 10 mins and if its bad enough to leave trainign there and then and will not play game on weekend and can rejoin team following week – no one has tried me out as soon as i brought that in due to some issues ….

'What the hell's going on': Ex-Wallabies question 'losing' culture, pathways at Waratahs

At least we have something to talk about gate

'Incredible' Hoops backed to do better than Boks legend who 'failed abysmally' in sevens switch

yes it is NH, but feel free to ask Wallabies who have been there if you want. Your pitches are not as close to stands as SA, and there are alot of words and sentences when changed from Afrikaans to English that can be way scarier to hear … and just fyi I am also referring to what Aussies told me of their experiences so …

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

drunk and unpleasant are not the words I would describe expreinces in Bulls land during a game … before and after different but during no, your comment highlights what you actually dont know vs what you do know …..

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

He is actually really gifted – or was when he was younger – and outside of some bad choices and a really bad injury could have been a long term wallaby instead of a short term one. The wing made bad choice in his approach there and Shep is right, a few old school techniques might wake the crap up with these younger generations

'What the hell's going on': Ex-Wallabies question 'losing' culture, pathways at Waratahs

Yeh I do, Ive had Aussie clients go to Loftus for Tests against the Boks and I said to them as a group not to wear their Au jerseys to the game and stand out coz I knew they were going to lose that game, tehy came back blown away at the type of intensity they got given before during and after the game and still commenting about aall types of behaviour Im a bit ashamed to say happens there – although it can happen to locals to who support Stormers etc – they even wear their Stormers shirts udner the Bulls shirt and pull it off if Stormers def look like winning – so yeh sorry, 50 000 angry Saffas will take the cake there sorry.

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

thats the point though right – agree though

Rugby News: Tahs' next goal after 'big emotional weight' lifted, AB legend's career call, Crusader off to Saracens

or imagine if more NH players came south to get the experience of what we provide overall thats different to our guys.
If WR got the damn world season sorted and opened up borders a bit better and got rid of all this Eng and Fra club control over their games/organisation then maybe it would be more spread – I gaurentee you there woul dbe Saffas knocking on NZ doors to get the exposure and experience. I would imagine there would be Welsh and Scottish guys going to SA for a warmer lifestyle thats still close to home etc etc ….

Now now Jacko, if you rememebr it was you Aussies and Kiwis that threw us Saffas with no warning or help at all with Covid coz SA as a whole was in total lockdown and no players could go anywhere at all to play. Its a 2 way street when it comes to fault throwing and I would never have beleived not being in SR could be a good thing but the last 3 years has certainly changed my tune and most Saffas too… sorry mate… respect !!

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

very good idea !!!

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

As a Stormer I dont LOVE it but I do enjoy the fact SA getting over them … although last weekend was surely a huge benefit to Leinster I dont believe it will cross over to Ire … in fact I think they could get shell shcoked coz what they see as passioante at Loftus or CT or Durban etc for the URC home teams will go up a million fold with the Boks playing them and this current Ire team doesnt have enough players left over since 2016 to understand that intensity say like Ardie or James Slipper etc etc can give their new guys heads up

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

Id love to see Aussies and Kiwis in the URC!!! Esp in SA sides for the benefot of growth potential to take back to W camps coz they are allowed to lay ouside Au rather than be help captive in an inuslar market/tournament
