@Moelikhyd @BarneySimon It did happen and I need to find pictures!

Also I love that people brought toy and paper planes to make up for the fly over. 😂

I love us as a country shame!

[Clayton Saville @clayone]

@Candice_Chirwa I'm trying to find footage of this, I was canning myself in the stadium.

@BoknRoll I really try not to get caught up in the hype of of junior player but jirre jissis after the 2nd game I was hooping and hollering for this laaitie. He is really him!

[Clapped 🚀 @F1Clapped]

The fact that Verstappen won 10 races in one of the most dominant eras in the sport, before he ever sat in championship calibre machinery should tell you everything.

Instead fans with wins in and around that mark are commenting on him being a car merchant, because he may possibly swap teams after 11 seasons with a team where he spent half his time without a sniff at a title.

Oh and these are the same ones who say he can’t be in the goat convo until he swaps teams and faces a champion.

@Springboks Jassis guys 🥲

[Clayton Saville @clayone]

@THESTORMERS @BoknRoll Such a long serving player deserved a tad more than a 3 second appearance in a video with departing squad players.

@ArmyNenyes The mentality to push after soiling yourself is also something else

[Inside Rugby With Mark @insiderugbymark]

Have spent some time this week looking into the state of doping on rugby across the world.

The top 3 nations with violations in the past 10 years are

1. UK
2. Australia
3. South Africa.

The UK has had 143 players fail doping tests. Australia second with 83 and South Africa 3rd with 81.

The Gift that keeps on Giving! 🇿🇦❤️✨ Historic win for the @Blitzboks Breaking the Hong Kong hoodoo on the 50th anniversary with a dominant win over Argentina.
From the trailblazers of the past to the heroes of today – this legacy runs deep. Congrats Coach @snymanphilip and team

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Devistated by the sad news today. Christopher “Chippie” Solomon, you sir, were a gentlemen, a father figure to many, and a great rugby man. Rugby has lost a great man. And I will miss our chats. Much love and strength to his friends and family, and the WP Rugby community as a whole.

[Clayton Saville @clayone]

@Jay34Burness @Slipcatch Given Adres penchant for cards that leaves JD and Connor. I supposed BJD and Dyamani will have to sometimes to a job at lock but its not ideal, theres going to have to be some incomings

[Morne @Mud_n_Guts]

Make it about f****** racing, man and machine, driver talent and skills, and not worrying about charging batteries or software algorithms, or hopefully starting a race because your PSU didn’t fuck out, or even just surviving a race because some other dud’s shit is not working (Bearman). I can watch Formula-E if that is what I was into, I am not. F1 will lose their most loyal following (fans) for a tik-tok generation that has no loyalty.

Max is the only driver currently saying the quiet part out loud, leaving. He is not thebonly one thinking it.

[Clayton Saville @clayone]

@Lm_matoke Ok I hear you but who is the player with the footwork to get that pass away?

[Rágnár Ván Töndérsön @Slipcatch]

Stormers play their best rugby away from their faithful. Players believe winning in Cape Town requires a different type rugby. This add just more pressure and then the weird stuff comes out.
All the faithful want is for them to win the game.
The Chicken-Wing Stormers, is a real thing. But exclusively for Cape Town.
So maybe a home play-off game comes with baggage?
So much talent in that squad.
