Very dissapointing to see KEO play the religion card to sensationalize stories. Luke Watson is not my favorate rugby player, but I dont know him personally. The things he has said piss me off to – but I challenge all of you to take a look in the mirror…..particulary some of those BULLS fans that called a journalist a BOESMAN. Back to KEO, why make sarcastic comments about Watson Christian belief’s – surely you’re a better journalist than that????

#2 Honkie:
I have to agree with Honkie. Keo, I always have and will respect your opinion as a rugby jorno, but I don’t want or need your comments on religion. Saying that Luke believes in “fictional characters in the Bible” is like saying that everybody in the Western world are stupid and childish. Which is not a far mark off from calling Afrikaners Dutchmen (which, quite frankly we are). Not to mention insulting a large group of people on a very personal matter. Licit or implicit, we are smart enough to come to conclusions ourselves.
Just be careful, its a real fine line.

That’s actually one helluva threatening backline the Reds are fielding.

#2 Honkie: #3 Greenpoint-Gunner: Have to agree – Keo has not only treaded the line there, but actually crossed it. I got banned from this site a number of times for stating my views which happened to clash with their politics or rules, yet he deems it ok to insult the majority religion in our country – more than 80%. Not only that, Christianity is the major religion in the other 3N countries too. So how is that for alienating your customers…

Where are the rest of the teams???

#2 Honkie:
Totally agree. The use of the word “fictional” was in poor taste.

#7 Kietzphat: Also agree with all of you, think he was just trying to stir though.
But lets talk rugby, Brumbies to upset the Tahs, any takers?
And Lions over the stormers?

#2 Honkie:
Youve clearly never read Peter Fitzsimons of the Sydney Morning Herald (ex-Wallaby lock). Check him out sometime. Lets just say he takes a rather secular approach to sports. What Keo said was tame in comparison.

#8 I wanna be coach:

“..Crusaders and All Black number 9 Andy Ellis says that the Crusaders have some work to do in order to retain their title but that they can do it because they have done it before…”
Ahahahahahahaha!!!
Have your say
