Here's hoping for a good RWC. Good games, individual performances, sportsmanship and officiating. And no bad injuries. A bit more traffic on Supersupporter would top it off nicely.

Vlag takes things literally. I am sure he is fully aware he is not buried.

In Africa you become the all-time hero...........as soon as you die. If in doubt - ask Gavin Watson. Bob, his wife & family are a dis- "grace" to humanity - finish & klaar

If I read a news article that quotes some random twitter follower I stop reading. Twitter is not real life and that is why MSM hacks don't get Brexit, Trump, Morrison (Australia) etc

We have a saying here "I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire". Better places to piss methinks

If 8 had the money I would.

Jeremy Corbyn walks into a Bank to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning, Ms could you please cash this cheque for me?" Cashier:"It would be my pleasure. Could you please show me your ID?" Corbyn :"Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Jeremy corbyn, leader of the Labour Party. Cashier:"Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID." Corbyn: Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am." Cashier: "I am sorry, mr corbyn, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them." Corbyn,"Come on please, I am urging you, please cash this cheque." Cashier: "Look sir, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque." "Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and only you?" Corbyn stands there thinking and thinking and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't have a clue." Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes , Mr Corbyn. ?....

Hell Barlee you had me worried there for a while.

They are copping it here for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

I have taken my 700 pieces of silver but if we lose the Ashes from here it will be tragic

The Poms are a chance from here methinks and the betting shop was offering $3.50 so I couldn't resist. If the Poms do win the collect will soften the blow.

Just as female team sports are becoming main stream (well at least here in Australia) they introduce the freak show factor. I think this will undo the recent good work. Apart from the initial curiosity factor no one wants to want neutered soi boys competing with women.

We've been having a drought for so long now, there are 5 year old frogs in the garden that haven't learnt how to swim.

And with a hard knock we're back down to earth. Supporting the Boks is like riding a roller coaster. Unfortunately there's been far to many troughs and not enough peaks.

I hate vegans they eat all the animals food.

Yeah cause you said that there will be lots of partying and having a place to piss on. Difficult if there is no grave yet.

LOL, doubt it he has only just died....And if it's a cultural thing and he gets buried in Zim (heaven forbid they must waste more money they don't have on the tyrant,) the family might want to go collect the spirit in Singapore first... One thing I said to someone the other day. Africa is the white person's (European) conscience. By this I mean they will all come here to try rescue the Africa that gets depicted in movies such as "Out of Africa"....they haven't yet learned that ".....helps those who help themselves"... Just my opinion 😉 To me : No RIP. Go straight to hell, do not collect the choirs of the heavenly angels, just go, leave us in peace maybe for once and all

Does that matter?

I haven't seen it but it wouldn't surprise me. There are two things to consider. The one is BBC's knack of twisting things by only showing the interviews with ignorant arseholes who probably don't even know who Mugabe is. The other is the fact that the Brits have been led by the noses by the media, about Africa, for so long that they have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to Africa. They only remember the media hype about how he was once seen as the saviour of Africa and has since ignored everything in between that time and now.

Meanwhile the MSM overlook credible evidence that she married her brother (immigration fraud), has made numerous anti Semitic comments, requested leniency for ISIS members and now has diverted campaign funds to have an affair with a married man (the brother is apparently very dirty). The squad have a collective IQ of about 50.

In Rassie we trust

Big celebration tonight for Zimbabweans, and an added bonus, somewhere to piss afterwards

We live in hope and support Bokke all the way...

Will always be remembered for teaching the world how democracy in Africa works.

What could help us, IMO, is that the ABs are not as lethal at the moment. The NH teams are difficult to judge. All of the England, Wales and Ireland, to my mind, are a bit yo-yo’ish at the moment. France, as always, are a mystery. That leaves us and the Aussies. The Aussies, to me at the moment, are a bit like France. As for our guys.... I’m still not convinced. The recent results seem to reflect a team that is at the top of their game, having won the RC and all, but I don’t know. There are too many players who were supposed to have been game breakers come RWC2019 but I don’t see any game breakers. Maybe Pollard who has been showing me the middle finger lately. I have been a big critic of his up until this season. As for the rest? I don’t see a FDP, or a John Smit, or a Juan Smith, a Victor and Bakkies, a Danie Rossouw, a Jaques Fourie, a Brian Habana, a Percy Montgomery, etc. But then again, maybe we don’t need them this time around because of the opposition we may face.

You should know my attitude towards the media by now. I am very sceptical about the MSM. I have no trust in opinionists as opposed to reporters who report the facts rather than their opinion of the facts. Opinions on social media is the very last when it comes to “getting news”. It is excellent if you are looking for opinions. It is littered with that but news? Hardly. IMO Twitter comes in right at the bottom when it comes to news reporting but somewhere near the top when it comes to getting opinions and this is where many folks embarrass themselves and where many have eventually dug their own graves.

Paine is a big problem for us - if he wasn't captain he would be long gone. Wade made a ton in the First Test so he gets another go so it is either Khawaja or Head

Well I suppose England keep the Ashes alive but hell I'll be pissed if the Poms win the series Dock. Send your lads a telegram, tell them to please win the series !!!

The lad was very poor in the First Test and again here. Not sure where we go - the problem is that Australian and English umpires make up more than half of the elite panel so apart from Erasmus and the Sri Lankan lad the balance of the umpires are either past their best (Dar) or not top shelf.

Hats off to Stokes for the freakish effort. There was a number of poor decisions/lack of skill in the clutch that cost us the game. Time to bring Starc in to clean up the tail - Leach wouldn't have survived 15 balls of left arm yorkers at 150 clicks

And a poor result to add salt to the whole thing.........so it goes

Are you saying women are not good actors?

Holding did warn England about over bowling him - will turn him into another English fast medium pacer if they don't bowl him in short spells. Not sure if he has many tricks outside extreme pace

The white ball world champions - all out for 67!!! Goes to show what happens when they play REAL cricket

Facing 95 mph red leather missiles at 22 yards is not my idea of fun!! 0.4/second to make a decision - play, duck or run for your life

It is all getting so out of hand. The entire system in almost all codes are just trying to be the next one to make the change first and try and impress. I am still not a fan of females rugby if I am honest. I must say though, I am not a football fan at all, and when I get to watch some on TV I find it quite pathetic, but, when i watched some of the ladies football in their World Cup. You actually got to see some serious skills without all the play acting and drama as you see in the mens game.

Is the position of hooker still ok? I guess we'll have to ask the Gender police.

loose scrums, tight head, tries & conversions could take on a whole new meaning............

Where are they going to draw the line on the gender debate? Trans men will start qualifying for women's sport codes. Have already as I understand it. You've always stated that you doubt you'll let your lightie play rugby. Good for you. But think about parents that must make a decision on letting their girls participate in sport codes with 'T-Men'. That's just fucked up. Can you imagine your daughter competing at age group level with Caste Semenya?

But, I bet you WR will not give them the same money. It is just like the corporates, they give people titles and fuck the money increase.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I think it all started in the scrum.

I think what is most annoying is we get a guy like Faf who is shit at kicking and if it was not for a bit of fortune, we would have lost Saturdays game. I am starting to hope he becomes second choice to Herschelle.

New rule effective 1 August. Can only replace like for like. Doctor has to agree

May take is this. I love cricket. ODI is also mostly good. And then is there that hit and giggle bullshit that some like to call cricket as well.

Tickets sold out in 20 mins this morning....
