@MattP555 @Slipcatch 4 weeks, reduced from 6 weeks (entry point) due to good disciplinary record and “in light of the fact that (among other reasons) there was no injury caused to the victim,” said a Six Nations statement”.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@FrontRowGrunt Well, we shouldn’t have been there anyway. Hands in the ruck (from the side) before that. Even the commentators thought so…. Anyhow, anyhoo….

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@FrontRowGrunt Complete joke.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@craigray11 Although mildly better than the (awful) English commentators…..

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@craigray11 No - at the final penalty. Twice they advanced. Anyway. French tv producers were slightly opaque, as usual. Sigh.

@MarcoMasotti_ FNB were sponsors on the back of their jerseys, and this is eerily close to FNB corporate colors. Just saying….

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@JohnSmit123 FNB sponsoring, FNB colours? Pretty poor….

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@DamezMod @davidshapiro61 Yup, happened in Cape Town recently. All happened at night, major resurfacing, less than a month, almost no disruptions. It is possible.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@sportbillysays And Tshituka’s knees were on the ground - I.e. tackle has been made - prior to the rip in the previous try, but no check on that. Anyhow, anyhoo.

@LawrenceBailey0 I wonder what Kyle Verreyne has done to completely fall out of favour? Neat ‘keeper, one of our better batters in NZ and Aus… and now nowhere. Klaasen hasn’t shot lights out.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@MichaelVaughan 100%. From an avid supporter all the way from Cape Town…. Come on the Owls. Keep going all the way to the end of the season. Back to the Championship, then onwards and upwards.

@FrontRowGrunt The 2022 World Rugby Law book is 164 pages…. Impossible to have one person (or even three with ARs) fully versed in everything, and able to make split-second decisions. Need to defer to specialists, surely? The game needs better, more consistent officiating.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@FrontRowGrunt I didn’t even watch the end, Tank. At a smidgen before 7pm, we had only played 60 minutes of rugby. Carry on like this, and rugby will lose followers quickly.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@BrendenNel Almost 2 hours for this game and we have just got to 60 minutes of game time. Rugby needs to get this sorted out.

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@Retief_Dan @dylmjack Yup…. VERY!

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@FrontRowGrunt 100%…..

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@zukokubukeli Zuks, I’d go one further and say I don’t think it is, it is. Full stop. Obviously subjective, but it is the most awesome course I have played in South Africa. Can’t speak for the rest of the continent, but I’ll give it SA’s #1 rating….

[Duncan de Groot @Duncandeg]

@Retief_Dan And completed tackles and getting up again and scoring, @Retief_Dan ? Joke.
