@JockBok(JockBok)-45: Agree with you entirely. It just shows a lack of journalistic skills as well as rugby knowledge to resort to a headline like that.

hmmm… Bullet… Pieter Louw was the Baby Boks captain for quite a while and recently played in the Super 14. He has a LOT of international experience. In fact, in the Super 14 he scored almost every time he set foot on the field. Having a great season so far.

Gio… GREAT game! Well done.

The Bledisloe match was epic. I don’t think I’ve seen anything so sad in a long time. The Bokke will struggle to do worse than the Aussies.

Good luck for the rest, although it’s clearly NZ’s year again.

PdV suggested that the outcome of a test match was rigged. That is a big claim and he should be called to account. If he has no evidence, he should be censured. That was very amateurish and anybody who thinks the Boks weren’t smashed by a far better team is kidding themselves.

This isn’t a racism issue, a cigar and brandy club conspiracy. This is a national coach talking **** and bringing the game into disrepute. His team was smacked because it played badly and was badly coached.

This conspiracy **** is cowardly! Face up to your failures PdV!

Why the need to insult the ‘pathetic’ Pumas? The game I watched last night was contested by two teams of equally passionate and hard working players. The fact that one team doesn’t have the skill set to match the other does not give some journo sitting in a comfy seat in the stands the right to insult them.

Show some respect ffs and report on the game. These guys played their hearts out.

Haha…squeaky clean.

Ja the French can say two words correctly in English and still manage to walk away with dignity…try that with a Cape Flats accent..the outcome is brutal.

@Great White Shark(Predawn)-39:
Funny how a French speaking in broken English tends to be given more understanding than an Afrikaans speaking person doing the same thing. Perhaps the French are just more “romantic” . It is a funny world we live

@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-37:
Sorry, it’s just that PdeV has enough problems without using his language against him.

BTW, with your comments on the reffing, I don’t suppose you have a certain ex SA ref in your family history?

@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-35: You know, I get really tickled when I hear English speakers making fun of Afrikaans speakers...throw in the squeaky voice and I can like to laugh very hard.

Maybe Divvy should re-visit the old Afrikaans saying, As jy jou wil uitgee as n toffie moet jy bereid wees om gekou te word…………….

@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-35: You know, I get really pissed off when I hear English speakers making fun of Afrikaans speakers speaking english, the same when whites parody Africans doing the same. Anyone who is using a second language should be respected for trying, not treated as an idiot.

@JL1(JL1)-29: BTW, notice how 2 of those women are also Cape Coloured like PdeV, a community known for direct speech. PdeVs english might be suspect, especially with his mixed metaphores, but he's generally not far off the mark.
