@WorldRugby you need to step up and provide clear guidance. Back your refs so they don’t get so influenced by a false narrative that they fail their primary job. Got rules on their side. Blow it! Angus well below par Saturday.

The All Blacks and Australian referee Angus Gardner did all they could to depower the Springbok scrum in Cape Town. https://t.co/McS4W6q2Do

Dave Rennie spotted in Cape Town talking about the @Springboks. Somebody please change his wet nappy. #SAvsNZ

There’s a woman on TikTok named Olive. She shows South Africans how to cook affordable meals to help them get through the month. She also uses donations and her own money to feed the poor. Hundreds, maybe thousands every month.

Your president just burned R7 million on a spectacle. Bloated politicians in designer outfits worth more than your annual salary. A red carpet parade funded by the same taxpayers who can’t afford school fees or new clothes for their children.

You stretch every cent, while they sip champagne and lecture you about progress.

They tell you the country has turned a corner while your budget says otherwise. They tell you the economy is recovering while you cut back on groceries. They tell you to stop believing your lying eyes, ears and bank balance.

1 woman feeds the hungry with almost nothing. The state feasts on trillions and demands applause for failure.

You think you hate politicians enough, but trust me, you don’t.

@CityTshwane *No water update*

Areas affected in ward 47: Elarduspark, Rietvalleirand, Wingatepark and Moreletapark

Why is Garsfontein reservoir not getting water? Why has nobody been informed? You are failing us!

[JG @JacusG]

Not a great draw for @Springboks and @AllBlacks. On a QF collision course with winner likely playing France. Flawed draw system. It should be ensuring the Top 4 ranked teams meet each other in Semis. #RWC2027 #SSRugby

[JG @JacusG]

A titanic, high pressure Rugby Test match. Handled with aplomb by Mat Carley. With all the heat on refs after some dismal performances, Mat was a shining beacon. On tonight’s performance alone, give him the 2027 RWC Final
@WorldRugby. #SSRugby #IREvRSA

[JG @JacusG]

Can't wait for this one!

Tonight is the night.

After many years of curiosity, Steve heads to East Africa to see what this foreign style of hunting is all about.

Watch Africa: Part One now on the MeatEater YouTube channel.

Today this video got new meaning for showing @Springboks resilience, guts and glory after #ITAvsSA ref farce. Complete team going to war for one another! @RassieRugby, you trained them well. Upwards we go! #SSRugby

[JG @JacusG]

Did anybody check if James Doleman was not an AI bot training to be a referee? The level of incompetence was astounding! Or is this now just par for the course for the out of touch @WorldRugby folks. #SSRugby #ITAvsSA

[JG @JacusG]

@SimplySean_ Your wine game can’t even be matched with a red card to the other team…

[JG @JacusG]

@BokScrum1211 #JamesDolemanMustFall #SSRugby #ITAvsSA @WorldRugby are bunch of runts.

[JG @JacusG]

@scrumming_ten Id prefer a PK!

[GB @GBryer]

James Doleman should be put in front of a panel and asked to walk through his decision on this. It was not of int. standard. Nowhere close to reckless, dangerous or head on head. Can’t be having officials of this standard being given matches at the highest level #Springboks

[JG @JacusG]

The calls are increasingly bias in Italy’s favour. We want a formal investigation for match fixing againt this ref! #SSRugby #ITAvsSA

[JG @JacusG]

Hi hit on Eskom, arms not wrapped and not even reviewed. If not @Springboks you enjoy carte blanche for foul play. Sanctioned by the corrupt hypocrites at @WorldRugby. #ITAvsSA #SSRugby

[JG @JacusG]

@riana_anna_ Slow clap for the corrupt hypocrites at @WorldRugby

[JG @JacusG]

@chubbyninja_20 Couldn’t agree more! Would love to see the NDA all refs contracted to @WorldRugby signed directing them to look for the smallest infringement to unfairly penalise the Boks. It has become so ridiculous now it’s obvious now that a directive went out. Investigate them! #ITAvsSA

[JG @JacusG]

@Lekrom The hate for Boks is becoming a farce bordering on the insane. With 14 men we beat France and all of @WorldRugby bureaucracy. The unfair onslaught only makes us stronger! Upwards and onwards the Boks go. #FRAvsRSA

[JG @JacusG]

It was clear Kolbe tried to get ball to SFM. Fact that Angus gave that try is not in the spirit of the game. If players can be sanctioned for this, so should refs. Angus. Covering yourself in embarrassment mate. Rugby is better off without you. #RSAvARG
