The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

Something I found refreshing - albeit a bit jarring - was the comment by Nick Mallet this week relating a story about an occasion in which the ref when asked by then-bok coach Mallet why he didn't penalize the boks in the last minute(over an obvious infringement), which would have meant them losing against the Wallabies, replied..."Ah....they [the Wallabies] didn't deserve to win."

A reminder not to put too much stock into sport where political stakes are as high as they are in SA.

The boks have been propping up a failing political class for some time.

Take your political kak elsewhere please

Here's hoping the one-handed intercept attempt doesn't result in any yellow cards... for either side.

I hate that rule.

It's too instinctive a reaction to be sending players off, imo.

Yep I hate this law as well.
I remember a game recently a player getting a card for it and in the same game just a penalty was given for tackling around the neck 😲
 
As always with the Boks we don’t take our chances. Our forwards absolutely minced them the last 20 min but for what? We didn’t get any points. NZ is still in this.
