It depends on the reason for the celebration IMO

Scrum penalty, awesome work by the forwards
Malcolm or Kitshoff ruck turnover, awesome work

Owen Farrell celebrating getting away with a shoulder charge and not conceding a penalty, gfyysmspn

How about manic celebrations for opposition hooker not getting the lineout throw straight?

The world Cup-winning lock is undoubtedly world-class, but he is also one of the dirtiest players in the sport. :unsure: If your team has played against him, you will not be a fan. A proper sh**house, but huge biceps.

Etzebeth? He just plays hard.

Itoje with the kneel on the neck of De Allende during the B&I Lions tour, along with hanging onto the legs of players should be above him. And it would be the only time he was ever rated much higher than Eben.

So it's official, Moodie being considered for cover at outside centre. Makes sense, think he played 13 for his entire school career. Hope he kills it. Our centre stocks are rather thin.

Marvin Orie on a bit of a back burner at the moment? Not considered for either of the warm up matches.

Anyway, decent side, let's see who NZ fields. Apparently they looking at fielding a B/C team.

Keen to see if they going to let Libbok kick the whole game or have Faf step in eventually.
 
Either Kriel has a niggle or they are not willing to risk him since we're already without Am.

Faf will win his 49th cap so may well start against Scotland.
