@T2Rugby I guess everyone must eventually jump on the saffa hating bandwagon to farm engagement. Impossible to take these accounts seriously.

@ChalynRugby The kiwi cope is really something wonderful to behold today. 😘👌

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@bensmithrugby Top tier cope today.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

Bait used to be believable.

[Chalyn.Rugby @ChalynRugby]

Talking about the Bledisloe 1, one of the french mate of mine said 50-50 calls usually go the home side’s way, and thats the case almost every game except in the 2023 RWC QF vs the Springboks. I think he’s not right there. Those weren’t 50-50s. They were 100% France calls that didn’t go their way.

#Springboks #France #FRAvRSA

This guy again. 🙄

[Tier 2 Rugby @T2Rugby]

No. The "best rugby player in the world" should be able to consistently dominate in the Japanese league. Kolbe hasn't done that in two seasons. In fact wasn't that special at Toulon either. Seems to only to do well off the back of dominant teams (SA or Toulouse).

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

Dude. Sit this one out.

[Athi @aahhtee]

@AnalystGus what difference has Pollard done outside of slowing ball down?

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@BbAus20 @JWDrennan No chance the stadium is half empty. That's why SARU keeps charging these high prices, because unfortunately the tickets sell. Saturday will be close to sold out. Cape Town is already sold out iinm.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@CptAncapistan Haha. No no no. It's just because that's what you are used to. Celsius is just superior. Done.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@rugby_ap And in the right accent. 😉

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@JamesEsses Yup. I've literally seen it and I'm not a black woman. Can only imagine how often it actually happens to them.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@Oom_Rugby @DerekODon @jaredwright17 Hy probeer sarkasties wees oom.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@rugby_ap Surely their post was just good old rage bait? Nothing gets clicks quicker than rage baiting us South Africans.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@ncakos316 Seriously bro. Just let it go.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@T2Rugby Bro always complaining about something.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

So much bollocks. Jesus. No whites are being targeted by anything except MLMs.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

I don’t think what’s happening in South Africa is anywhere close to a “white genocide.”

If you spend time there, or if you have South African friends and family, you know somebody who knows somebody who has been affected by racially targeted attacks. Even murdered. But words matter - it’s not a genocide.

You have to be living under a rock to ignore just how far South African society has strayed from its Rainbow Nation vision as enshrined in its Constitution. It’s now a completely identitarian and racialized society. If you’re white, you live in fear unless you can afford to live in Sandton with high security or armed guards out in the country.

Racial discrimination is systemized into law. And race relations, due to a two-tier system based on retribution and vengeance, have deteriorated into open hostility.

The ANC has presided over an increasingly dysfunctional state.

The reason why American progressives largely ignore or willfully deny this is because South Africa is in many ways a living experiment of what happens when the kind of race-affirming policies and critical race theory indoctrination they favor reaches its logical conclusion.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

This guy makes me very happy. Just knowing that there's someone in the world with such a chip on their shoulder re the Springboks gives me the warm and fuzzies.

[William Battlhiem @WillBattlehiem]

@ChalynRugby PSDT? What can that even do apart from tackle.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

Thank goodness. Adios. Cheers. Country feels better and brighter already.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

@GHoTiO1 @rugby_ap Aaah OK. You're one of those. Good to know. Won't take you seriously going forward.

[Leon van Zyl @CaptainCarling]

Baie mense lieg, maar min mense lieg so lekker soos Oom Kallie.

[Kallie Kriel @kalliekriel]

ANC leaders and the ANC-led government must be held directly responsible for the fact that the United States and President @realDonaldTrump has punished South Africa by imposing significantly higher import tariffs on the country than on most other nations. South Africa and its people are now reaping the bitter fruits of the ANC leadership’s reckless policies and provocative actions toward the United States. These ANC leaders have placed their own and their party’s ideology and interests above those of the people of South Africa.

Efforts to prevent the country and its people from being punished by advocating for a change in direction in South Africa were undermined by those who dismissed the United States’ grievances as a misunderstanding based on “misinformation.” Consequently, these denialists must also bear responsibility for the current crisis.

To have avoided these punative measures, it was necessary to openly identify the problems and find solutions through a change in direction in South Africa. @afriforum will therefore continue to work toward such a change, as it is the only way the United States’ punative measures can be lifted. This change in direction requires that South Africa protect the property and human rights of all its people (including Afrikaners and other minority communities) and that the interests of South Africans be prioritized by ensuring the country follows a truly neutral foreign policy.

@jwcoetzee We've been in 2 finals and now sitting at 3rd on the log. What exactly is he doing wrong?
