RWC Final - New Zealand v South Africa 29/10/23, 0800 NZDT

[The Ghost of Raelene]

The theory that he said "wit kant" - Afrikaans for "white side" - to alert his team that the ball had been turned over in the ruck is actually more than plausible to be completely fair.

After speaking with a couple of mates from SA, apparently c-bombs aren't even that commonly dropped.

Not defending him, just outlining that it is genuinely plausible that it's been lost in translation.

Maybe. Plausible sure.

I'm also searching for more of a reason to not like them.

It's also been said he said " wind gat"

A person who's full of himself

I really thought the odds would be closer to the default $1.87 each way.

So five shooters - likely to be on the field at the end of extra time:

Boks:
- Pollard
- Faf
- Le Roux
- Kolbe
- ???

Blecks:
- Mounga
- S Barrett
- B Barrett?? (D McKenzie)
- Jordan
- ???

Scott over Jordie Barrett? Interesting choice

I imagine De Groot walking up for some reason. Probably not on the field.

One of those guys at training just slotting them.

Do Roigard or Christie kick sticks at all? Could be a pretty good argument for one over the other (even though Roigard should be well ahead of Christie currently).

That's mighty convenient.

 

[LeCheese]

That's mighty convenient.

I've seen some Saffers say there've been issues in the past with referees taking a disliking to "blind kant" - referring to "blind side" of course

Really hits home how disappointing it is not having the Irish in the mix, because I'm really struggling to find a reason to support either team.

It's all pretty obnoxious, with the main difference being the sheer number of Kiwis in our orbit in Australia. Le sigh.

I think every Irish is supporting the Kiwi this time round, normally would have been Boks but they have been so full of sh#t the last year that everyone is turned off them. Even after Ireland won they went straight to we will beat them in the Final, meaning they were so arrogant that that France wasn't a good team in there eyes. Majority of Irish fans still knew they had to respect Scotland, and the All Blacks was never going to be easy.

To be fair, they were right, they are in the final

Seems more likely than a guy using his 3rd language to say something racial about someone while standing right next to his teammates of the same race

Well you can hardly insult a bloke in a language he doesnt speak.

Oh yeah?

Of course you can

 

[Derpus]

Of course you can

Well, not very successfully anyway.

 

[Dctarget]

well, if you want the bloke to feel shit you probably should speak the same language, or else he could assume you're recommending a nice bakery down the hill from the stadium
