@MikeLO1962 @Dumbas61007425 @scrumming_ten Funny how AI changes faces. That is not Cameron Hanekom

@bensmithrugby Please will do us the favour and update.

[Gerrit Theron (Bruce) @RugbyGerrit]

Fair point. But the counter-argument is simple: if the scrum was “built on a charade”, then why did the All Blacks struggle to deal with it for large parts of the game?

You can analyse the mechanics all you want, but dismissing the Boks’ scrum as a tactic or trick doesn’t explain the repeated pressure and dominance. Sometimes the opposition is just bloody good at something. Give credit where it’s due

@sasol072 @scrumming_ten Will probably be similar crowd sizes. Comparing a 30,000 seat stadium with a 62,500 stadium doesnt really make sense.

@Brendennel Are the lions now world nr 1?

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@Cass_maitias Actually saw this right after I replied to your message. See people trying to validate the behaviour, even validating it through things done in 2023 by some of the irish in a contest with NZ. JH was out of line last night and the medical staff as well.

@Cass_maitias I can promise you no South African fan would support his behaviour tonight. Im a big SA fan but tonight feel sad to be associated with that behaviour and the way Munster was treated in that penalties spectacle

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@Cass_maitias Agree - it is pathetic. He could run without any issue in celebration 2minutes later.

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@objohnob Couldnt agree more.

@PaulDavis17 @sin_bin_rugby Miles forward. Tv director wont spend too much time on the angle though.

@ChicagoBoy2023 @mark_keohane @Springboks @AllBlacks Previous Bok teams would not have been able to come back from that poor start. It shows a lot pf guts to come back and register a great win. Dont see this as a bad result (bad weekend).

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@Brendennel Guess it came back to bite these pundits now. Ireland knocked out in another quarter final. Not winning when it counts.

@SARugbymag Ysters. Lanklaas die span so sien veg tot die laaste toe

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@RossiHancock Farrel were not penalised here. . .

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@jimhamilton4 You called it...

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@Elmakapelma I think majority of the SA supporters attending the tournament are currently residing in the UK or the Netherlands. Literally every South African I know living in the Netherlands will be going to at least 1 game. But not taking anything away from the Dutch attending though

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@rugby_ap This sounds very much the same as the "Bomb Squad" and race rumours the last time around.

[Tian van Rooy @tianvrooy]

@AndyGoode10 I think he and Nic White were classmates
