@KatMerchant14 Very sad Kat. Only recently returned to X after a couple of years and disappointed to read you are getting the same abuse you did before I left. Hang in there. Your posts are always appreciated by decent followers.👍

@CaptSpringbok This competition is considered the Premier event in the NH. Appears that SA sides don’t value it. Left SA in 1986 but still a passionate fan of SA rugby. Sharks with that silly cartoon badge such a poor side despite the personnel. Put the pride back in the jersey - this one!!

[Christopher Sysum @CSysum]

@MarcoMasotti_ @SaleSharksRugby @SharksRugby The team has become a perfect facsimile of its ludicrous cartoon Shark. Bring back the Wildebeest and get some pride in playing for the jersey. What a poor team despite the individual talent! Bah humbug!

@MarcoMasotti_ @SaleSharksRugby @SharksRugby Marco as a Natal fan from the early 70’s when Tom Bedford’s team punched above its weight, I find it incomprehensible that your stacked team consistently underachieves and has done for some time now. Something is rotten in your set up. What are you doing about it? Fed up fan!

@Brendennel Hi Brendon, sadly we have to accept its international club rugby now and the flags of convenience have been flying since professionalism. I yearn for the days players only qualified for their birth countries or where their skills were learnt but those days are gone.Sad😔

@SquidgeRugby Hi Squidge, just back on X after a 9 month sabattical. Main reason was to get back to your excellent content again. Mortified with the blazers at World Rugby. Hope it gets sorted soon mate 👍

[Christopher Sysum @CSysum]

@thepaulwilliams A real conundrum as to why this team with its playing resources is so poor. Has to be coaching or lack of player commitment. Strange 🤔

[Christopher Sysum @CSysum]

@SardieqWP Sorry, that’s four 😂

[Christopher Sysum @CSysum]

@SardieqWP I would have say Joggie Jansen, Danie Gerber, Ray Mordt and Frik du Preez my top three of players I have personally seen play for SA.

@rugby_ap You should AP. It’s very good.

Admittedly I know next to nothing about American Football, bar watching Super Bowls and the odd game on Sky.

But I have always wondered was this allowed/feasible, and if it is, why do you hardly ever see teams doing it?

@StoolFootball Apart from Ozil.

@StephenWall1985 I thought Watson looked the real deal when he moved to 15.

@evans_marke If we needed any more proof of the depth of NZ rugby, this is it 👍

@sportex_dr_amal @TippettCooper Happy Birthday Johnson. Here’s to many more 👍🍷
