@BarneySimon The moment a comedian becomes so rich he is removed from normal peoples reality they become unfunny. 30 Rock joked about it. Kevin Hart is dire and Trevor Noah has become flou the moment he started living in NY penthouse apartments.

and Reconciliation commission in 20 years time for the damage AI did to the world. When people from within the business expresses alarm it should be a sign for us all to be alarmed.

Sat next a guy at an event a few nights ago. Informed me he is the African Director of some large American AI company that specialises in business solutions. In the same breath he tells me he has to find another job asap. Tells me he does not want to be called in front of a (1)

@rugby_ap Pre Injury Elrigh would have walked into this side. He still needs aome time to get up to speed completely. The physical and mental setback that such an injury causes takes time to recover feom completely

@RugbyBits @Springboks @RassieRugby @THESTORMERS @LionsRugbyCo @BlueBullsRugby @SharksRugby @jaredwright17 @Kookie_Kuhle Ibwould argue that the scrum penalties won stat is deceptive as he usually starts, and the majority of scrum penalties are won in second half with strmrs bomb squad coming on. Problem comes you shouldn’t compare either of these to Marx/sheehan who are both exceptional players

@JoePompliano AB de Villiers, a retired cricketer has nearly 30m followers. The world is big.

@BigVicSA @moi_pseudo His dad is not a big shot in Stellenbosch rugby at all. If anything he is a big shot in Stellenbosch mountainbiking. The fact that his dad played hooker for EP is a thing Chris pokes fun at. He is just central to Stb as he owns a popular cafe/pub in town.

@Ringo26 @BoknRoll Clearly another award winning performance from someone who went to the Nick White School of Acting.

@Brendennel We are both nations that drink a lot of brown spirits (whisky and brandy) and dont mind taking it out to the parking lot. We both cuss creatively and love a good story and a good laugh. I have lived with many nations in the UK but got on best with the irish and the kiwis.

@haribaldijones @KelRo736 Ya true. Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well. At the same time there are serious sycophants (some other podcast hosts) that cant get it to criticise the team and coach at all. Too much emotion floating around.

@jaredwright17 Brok Harris probably the best scrum coach in the comp. He has made the Stormers scrum sing. Nchunu and even Allie Vermaak has become so much better this season.

[Theunis Stofberg @stofjas]

@SardieqWP He did the best move of his career coming here. Brokkie really taught him to scrum properly. The Stormers scrum been unstoppable this season… unlike some other parts of their game tough…

[Theunis Stofberg @stofjas]

@luvukonombembe They moved him to prop but didn’t have the quality in prop coaching that Brok has. Brokkie has made these scrum sing. Best move for Mchunu ever.

@rugby_ap This is a personal gripe of mine. I have heard high profile players being put at lock because they are too “slow” for blindside flank. Coaches dont think its worth sending him to speed school. Speed Coaching for NFL Combine can increase speed over 40yrds by half a second.

@rugby_ap Ten or fifteen years from now the sports betting companies sponsoring every team will be the same as the tobacco companies sponsoring everything in the 70s.

@Brendennel At least Lowe is not playing so he wont ruin Doris’ trophy lifting moment this time (if they win). Every ad for the URC where they show Lowe lifting Doris’ shirt when he lifts the URC trophy to his utter annoyance is a reminder that Lowe is an asshat.
