Stop!!
There were more skills shown in any ten minutes of this game than in the entire Bokke v Stops match. As for the Bokke match if I want to watch grass grow I’ll go to the baseball.
PS I will get up at 5 a.m. again next Saturday to watch the Pumas bury the Stops and all the critics of the draw.
The draw is created, and the match officials are selected, by the Stops and their Celtic colonies allowing UK sides every advantage. Often this results in gifting the Bokke another RWC because the Home teams are not good enough to get out of the pools. Not this time folks. They’ll have to earn this one by beating the resurgent All Blacks.
I hope the officials next week learn from this game and prevent the sealing off of the ball in rucks which the Stops exploited ad nauseam and sent my family to sleep.
All Blacks' alpha flex that summed up massive gulf as Argies 'humiliated' in 'embarrassingly bad' RWC semi
The All Blacks have lost more matches under Barnes than all other present referees combined. Yet the Kiwis always treat him with respect. The disrespectful performances by the English and Irish were abominable and I thought that the officials could have been much harder on the “Born to rule” Englishmen especially.
I would have given the whingers serial yellow cards to quieten them down. Isn’t it time that we enforced the rule that says only the captain can speak to the referee? I read somewhere a claim that the English may have invented whingeing but that the Celts had perfected it. Dupont, like many French, clearly has Celtic lineage. In Australia, the first rule of rugby is to respect the referee and always call him Sir.
Coincidentally even Rassie has learned the Kiwi lesson and now shows respect for officials; at least publicly.
Thanks for the James Joyce reference I have relayed it around the world. I was twelve when I read it, at the behest of my Welsh schoolmaster, and had forgotten all about it.
