The problem with the boks can be laid down to many things, but the biggest is the top 2 inches. Their game awareness seems to be very little and they make silly decisions in the wrong areas. Just dof. They have been outthought here too many times

SFM needs to pull his neck in. He is not the superstar the press have claimed him to be yet. Boy needs to earn his “you’re not allowed to tackle Carter” card. He is not there yet. #SCAvSTO

In the late 80’s and early 90s I loved the dubbed German tv show Derrick. Clever and well written show. Watched a bit of an original german episode on Youtube today and was amazed by the fact that they had nudity in it! Boobs! The things the Apartheid govt took away from us

⚡️The system is eating itself. When Amazon, UPS, Intel, and others start cutting this deep simultaneously, it means something more fundamental than “tight margins.” It means the productive layer of the economy is collapsing under the weight of its own optimization logic. Every

Part of my consulting work is to anticipate events, and then prevent or mitigate adverse outcomes. That aspect includes building plausible scenarios that could fit the available facts. A thread on a possible,and crudely simple, motivation for the US confrontation with SA 🧵

Statement scrum! #STOvSR

Brilliant from jamiekaler! It's hard to make light of such a terrible crime, but this might help some thick-as-shit MAGA fanboys understand why this is wrong.

This is another example of how poor the refs in SA is at the moment. Some baffling decisions to both sides #SHAvSTO

As terrible as this ref was, he did not force the Stormers to lose 2 attacking line outs on the Sharks 5m line. #SHAvSTO

Between Holly Davidson and Edogbo some Irish fans have seemingly been exposed to still be living in the 1920’s. Then again, both Davidson and Edogbo might also be part of some nefarious plot dreamed up by Rassie to make Ireland lose the ‘27 Workd Cup. You never know…

The year is 2001, you are a American citizen and cannot believe the dumbest man in the world is taking you to war in the Middle East. The year is 2026, you are a US citizen and cannot believe you were wrong; there is in fact a dumber man.
