@valuations_ Why not? You are worth what others are willing to pay for your product. You are not forced to participate in any way. But others might see value where you don’t. Same thing with crypto which has shown little to none utility ever.
@FrontRowRugbyXV One call. Happens to every ref. It’s the same as saying Ben O’Keefe is a bad ref for missing Kwagga’s hand on the ground that gave Pollard the chance to win us that QF vs France. Not everything is a conspiracy…
@JoelJutgeDredd “you do not understand”. Like the rest of the world are at fault for France taking a penalty kick in the last 10 when they should go for a try. Sorry bud, but you are not convincing me with this bullshit argument. I do like you by the way, and you seem very reasonable. Just wrong
@JoelJutgeDredd Nah, just looking for excuses now. The things you are blaming are in your control. Adapt or die. The French have the players, the cash, the most successful league in the world. Lean into your strengths instead of looking for others to blame.
@JoelJutgeDredd Victimhood won’t get you far, that much I promise you. SA tried it for decades, and we were always 2nd best. Just adjust. Learn to speak english, the whole world won’t change for one other nation. Don’t boo every single decision that goes against your own team. Refs don’t like it
@JoelJutgeDredd This reasoning is ridiculous. He missed Kwagga’s hand on the ground. That’s ONE penalty that could go the other way on a different day. It’s not propaganda. It happens in every game, even when both teams are French. It’s human error. Speaking French can’t change that…
@JoelJutgeDredd I don’t really understand the point you are trying to make here to be honest? Are you saying the ref treated France differently on account of them speaking French?
@JoelJutgeDredd You use the lack of understanding English as an excuse for the loss. What do you propose? That every ref is fluent in English, French, Mandarin, Zulu etc. Impossible. This is the way it has been for ever and if the players were so fussed about it they should prepare in advance.
@JoelJutgeDredd You seem to speak English well. And it’s your second language, just as it is mine. So what is stopping the rugby players from learning a 2nd language just like you have, knowing full well that the game is reffed in English at international level? Lack of preperation…
@ChalynRugby 1.) SA teams don’t play in the Premiership so why are they getting pulled into it?
2.) Super Rugby was dog shit long before SA left. Was terrible as soon as the pool system was introduced. Its even shitter now though…
@scrumming_ten If Stander was at 8 he would have been behind Duanne and Spies. Ireland was good move for him. Kocket behind Fdp🐐, Ruan, Hougaard, Faf. He left before HM was coach. Good for Castres for a season or 2. He was OK for France. Never set the world alight at international level.
