@Rugby_Scoop @RassieRugby That’s because his left hand went straight onto the ball and he clearly made an attempt to wrap. Do better.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@CharlieFelix Yeah, why would anyone want to bring out a top tier ref to answer questions around the laws. It’s almost like the Boks want to play by the rules. Alternatively, we can treat the like guidelines and see what happens next. 🤡

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@bensmithrugby Probably the first time I’ve seen you actually say something intelligent about the game and not just click bait

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@scrumming_ten But, Leinster (in green) and Bordeaux (in blue) played the ABs a couple of weeks ago and lost? 🧐

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@GregAFC @SuperRugby I was in the ground. Rieko was one of your better players - engaged and working hard with and without the ball. Involved in plenty and broke the deadlock. As a Saffa, I hate to see you guys turn on your legends.

@Brendennel 9. Hashiem Pead (Please! 🙏🏼)
10. Yaqeen Ahmed
11. Cheslin Kolbe
12. Damian Willemse
13. Marcus Miller
14. Jurenzo Julius
15. Sacha F-M

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@TheACCnz No accountability from the ABs. Why can’t they just play to the rules? 16 penalties and 3 yellow cards. Hardly the refs fault. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@moi_pseudo None of those kids were thinking about the URC last night. They were ticking the bucket list. They gave a good account. Also, URC team will include Wilco Louw, Cheslin Kolbe, Damian Willemse, Sacha F-M, Paul De Wet, etc. The only person with lots to think about is Dave Rennie..

@ChalynRugby Has very little to do with the All Blacks brand. It has plenty to do with local exclusion during apartheid - and understandably so. These numbers will dwindle to nothing with every new Cheslin or Damian or Siya in the Green & Gold. Will take a few generations though.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

The All Blacks look impressive. But, it doesn’t appear hard to score against them. Control ball, get into the right areas and come away with points.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@bensmithrugby New Zealand are the ultimate chokers. Enjoy it. 🤣

@TheChiefNerd Is this guy really in charge of this power? He does realize that the people still have to eat even if they don’t ‘get smart’? Scary stupid.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@SamTalksRugby7 Pretty solid, but you could have done many better in the locks. imho

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@bensmithrugby Gotta beat what’s in front of you. Although clearly the ABs have forgotten that.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

The difference between the @Springboks and everyone else is the @varsitycup. Crazy thing is that the Home Unions could send talented school leavers to university in SA where they could play in this competition - it would practically cost them peanuts. Huw Jones is the prototype.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@SimonBorchardt Strong Irish accent! Must be from O’Rondebosch in Cape County.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@jaredwright17 Defensive analysis of this game on Monday is going to be wild 🤪

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@traindreamsfilm has been criminally undervalued at the @goldenglobes - probably the most powerful film experience I’ve had in a very long time. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour. Slow, introspective and utterly heartbreaking. Essential.

[gavin whitfield @gavfox5]

@jim_demps Wow! One of your favourite Ireland WC moments? 🤣 Pickings must be slim.
