Culling teams and events is incompatible with World Rugby's Mission Statement. I could understand if this decision was in the name of survival due to profitability, but how does sportainment grow rugby by culling teams and events?

From World Rugby's website:
"World Rugby's purpose is to grow rugby by making it more relevant and accessible, with a vision of a global sport for all, true to its values."

@markwelch7 @Jaco_Verster @jaredwright17 Haha, do you mean by penalizing SA multiple times for side entry at rucks, and then letting the ozzies do it at will... OK if so, then yeah, the refs anti-SA bias helped us win! Bu seriously, SA had greater intensity, whilst Oz simply wilted in the heat.

That's definitely not all of it, although moral superiority is a big part of it. But for a quick summary, this tweet punches way beyond its package.

@RitaPanahi This would be amusingly ironical if the implications were not so severe for young and impressionable children. I am beyond appalled and cannot comprehend how much further this can be allowed to go.
The woke need to wake up.
But first, we need to wake up so that we can wake them.

@BurgerOdendaal @BlueBullsRugby Honestly it looked like one of the tackles of the season. Your timing and body position were great. He just dipped really low. I was thinking at the time that it would be harsh to penalize you guys for it, but a yellow?

@Carl_LewisZA Wilder is not done. He has too much natural power and should learn from Fury's movement & skills.
Fury, with how greatly he has progressed, is no. 1 in my mind.
I would like to see:
Wilder vs Andy Ruiz
Fury vs Joshua
Joe Parker vs Oleksander Usyk
Your thoughts?

@FOXRUGBY @Draftrugby The best part is that there isn't a team up there because of the conference permutations.

[Nicholas Hannaway @noisywindbag]

@SamLStandsUp Well I think there have been some quite upright blokes playing at 10. Butch James, for example, always aimed very high. Especially in the tackle.

@lyndseyfifield @RitaPanahi @PeteButtigieg Inner turmoil is aggressively projected outwards and any defensive reactions are subjectively interpreted as confirmation of oppression.
Yet how can anyone expect that they could unfairly accuse other people whilst still demanding to be embraced?
Goebbels would be proud.
Woke.

@BlaBlaBluester @Munsterrugby Mate, I'm here in SA trying to figure out why the Kings & Cheetahs arm wrestle over the Super Rugby leftovers when other Pro14 sides sign Super Rugby stars.

Yes sponsorship plays a role but surely the Kings & Cheetahs are getting enough to do their own transfer market raiding?

@paulwasher Amen brother. Our destination is not perfection. Perfection is reserved for God. Yet this is no excuse for not trying our best.
We then seek our best not to be justified, but through our delight in God's unparalleled grace, He who already justfied us despite our imperfections.

@SohrabAhmari @RitaPanahi REFERENDUM.
REFERENDUM.
REFERENDUM.
The will of the people must be heard on these gender neutrality/fluidity issues.

@Qokani @TheSharksZA @TAKEALOT This is a tragic sporting injustice. It almost feels like Bryce Lawrence had something to do with it. So wrong...

@bratley_j @JarvisDupont Maths is privileged. Truth is woked. Yet left is still not right and right is still not wrong.

@JustinJ25Verm @FantasyRugDraft @Carl_Leisegang @GuyDuke4 @JohndylanVogt @jasonprice200 @sverleis @mitchblewitt @Boemslang58 And congrats to @JustinJ25Verm for getting Sevu Reece at #5.
