The first time our paths crossed was at Craven Week 2010. The night before the final, everyone came to tell me I’d be scrumming against a big guy with red hair the next day. The “big” part intimidated me, but the “red hair” part even more.

Eben Etzebeth with the rugby equivalent of putting his foot on the ball to calm things down and consolidate on the back of a turnover before accelerating into contact and dictating the tempo. Some player.

Last night after I’d had a beer I tweeted that I thought Damian de Allende had a shout at being the best inside centre in rugby’s history.

Now I’m completely sober I’d just like to double down on that position. He is phenomenal. Best ever.

Rassie Erasmus ahs revelaed that due to the meds he is on he is constantly going to the bathroom.

During the first half, he ended up trying to go in the women's bathroom to save time and ended up getting stage fright in front of a fan😂😂😂😂

My head coach is unmatched.

It is confirmed that we will have another flyover today. The singing of the national anthems will take place at 16:53, the New Zealand Haka at 16:57 and the Flysafair fly over at 16:59. #Springboks 🇿🇦🇳🇿🏉💚

[Ben Karpinski @followthebounce]

It makes us as a people sound like morons, uncultured and at best disrespectful. There is literally no up side here.

No All Black has ever said, "We really thought we were going to win today, but when we heard 'ole ole ole' during the Haka, we knew it wasn't to be."

🇿🇦🇳🇿 SA Rugby apologises over Haka interference

SA rugby has apologised to the All Blacks and New Zealand Rugby over the sequence of events that led to the disruption of the haka.

The statement reads:

"The South African Rugby Union has written to the New Zealand Rugby Football Union to formally apologise for a sequence of events that led to the conclusion of the Haka being obscured during Saturday’s Castle Lager Rugby Championship Test between the Springboks and the All Blacks at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg.

"The closing moments of the Haka were overlaid by music and fireworks – as well as a flyover by an A380 airliner – as pre-planned scheduling failed to be observed.

"I apologised in person and have written to the NZRFU to formally express our regret and apologies for what occurred," said Rian Oberholzer, CEO of SA Rugby.

"It was never the intention to schedule any activities that would coincide with such an iconic moment of any Test match against the All Blacks. That it occurred was a result of timekeeping challenges and simple human error.

"In the confusion, the crowd’s excited cheering was mistaken to have marked the conclusion of the Haka by an unsighted sound engineer who restarted the music programme. It was highly regrettable but in no way deliberate.

Oberholzer said that SA Rugby was distressed by the breach of protocol and the apparent display of lack of respect it may have suggested.

"We hold dear the values and traditions of the game,” said Oberholzer. “The unfortunate events in no way represent any lack of respect that South African rugby holds for the significance and history of the Haka. We will ensure such errors cannot be repeated.”

It’s quite clear we’re gradually seeing the laws erode the set piece. Not being able to take free kicks from scrums, play on from lineouts that aren’t straight if uncontested, time limits on setting up scrums or lineouts, inability to challenge the 9…

It’s clear organisers want to move away from set piece being a contest to it purely being a means to restart play.

It goes against the very essence of rugby where every moment is supposed to be a contest. The sport will be weaker for it.
