@CaptSpringbok @SaffaStrachan Mismanagement of players is not at all the issue for the Sharks. Minutes are spread fairly across the plethora of talent at the club. The issue is overall game management which leads to bad results. If management was the issue we wouldn't see players getting signed by big clubs..

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@CaptSpringbok @SaffaStrachan And as for Mchunu, he is playing just as well for the Stormers as he was for the Sharks. The only difference is results which is related to the other players. What is he doing now that he wasn't doing at the Sharks?

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@CaptSpringbok @SaffaStrachan The management of Jurenzo has been fine. Competition at centre is fierce at the Sharks but he's managed to get a good amount of game time. He wouldn't be any better off at Stormers with Nel, Willemse, Du Plessis, Hartzenberg...

@GmanSupBro @Slipcatch @ospreys @URCOfficial_RSA Difference is that the large majority of Bok fans agreed with Eben's ban. But here almost every Osprey fan inuding thier coach is denying foul play, as well as the player himself.

@Slipcatch @adrian_slabbert @rugahl If circumstances are so important then it's important to mention that it was classic racial profiling as well. He knocked the guy out because the guy was black and he assumed he was stealing. Not so normal after all!

@SpringbokRWC Fassi hate will not be tolerated. Passing game is better than people think and is electric with the ball. Not to mention the air game👀

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@ChalynRugby 100% agree. And with that Josh Murphy should never have gotten off with mitigation from JHW's ban.

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@ColmGrimes1 @CaptSpringbok It not the fact that it's a 'weaker scrum' that results in the yellow cards. It's intentionally collapsing that does that. So here's a bit of advice, if you have a 'weaker scrum' just bite the bullet and go backwards. It's the same either lineouts, don't do anything illegal.

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@ChalynRugby The amount on times I've heard "this is the springboks' biggest game of the year"🙄 not saying that it isn't but why do people change their mind every week?

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@Jamespkeeton @TheShaunR_ If you really want to address the outcry and the inconsistencies I suggest a thread about why it was clearly direct head contact, not on the shoulder that then moved up (which is what most fans believe)

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@Jamespkeeton @TheShaunR_ Untrue. Your thread only mentions the decision of whether there was head contact once, in the 8th slide. But instead of addressing the issue you simply state that the refs deemed it head so it must be red. The fans issues are that they do not see the head contact as the refs do.

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@BladeDinno @clueclucks @jaredwright17 @StatBoy_Steven @WorldRugby 100% agree, still images are dangerous. But the point remains that it should never have been a permanent red.

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@rugby_ap A-P will never get off this train, I respect it🙌

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@BladeDinno @clueclucks @jaredwright17 @StatBoy_Steven @WorldRugby But if it starts on the chest and moves up to head then it can only be yellow card. You just proved yourself wrong in your own post.

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@will_owen9 Hence why the British press whining about Australia's breakdown infringements was just absolute bollocks and should be called out...

[Offside opinion @OffsideOp1nion]

@jameswhile @jaredwright17 Never thought a non-saffa would write the biggest referee bashing article of all time. I really thought we would take that one😅

@ChalynRugby What's the difference between a 'Performance Coach' and a 'Head of Performance' role😂😂
