I played cricket with Kempson once, a totally social chilled out game, and he lost it a few times, swearing at the ‘umpire’ and generally behaving like a ****. He then got stuck into the brandy and cokes and started abusing a mate of mine who was minding his own business – the oke is bipolar, he can’t hold his booze and he is probably one of the biggest chops I’ve ever met.

@husky: Yip, Robbie also completed the Cape Epic MTB tour during 2008. It is one hell of an achievement for a 100+ kg person who at the time did not have much of a background in endurance sport of that magnitude.

Are some of you guys not mixing up Kebble with Kempson? Kempson was a hard player but not really dirty; small for a prop (bit like BJ). I see him and Wayne Fyvie quite regularly in mountain bike races; always well behaved – not taking out other riders etc.

This is just another pan of the forced introduction of inept, hopeless people into the systems of rugby, this time it’s the not so funny clown Legoete who is pretty much clueless of all rugby rules nevertheless the power that be appointed him to be a rugby referee, the citing of a white coach’s the expected repercussions.
The Sanzar refereeing committee rejected Legoete dud from their 2010′s 9 referees’ panel, but he is on the reserve pool, I am sure some heavy guns pushed his case
LOL

Yeah Murray comes across as a funny, almost weird sort of character. Comes up with some pearlers in the commentary box.

But you cant condone needless, stupid violence.

Back in the day ….When Murray Mexted was playing in S.A. I witnessed him slapping a kid at a party. Heated words,beer involved and his club side not performing well that Sat. apparently does not make a good combination !! Kid was MANY years his junior ….and word was this snot-clup totaly unwarranted .He never had a reputation as a particularly tough player,BUT, from that day forth he was always “the cheap shot artist “.Not to be confused with his skill on the field .I was always impressed with his rugby playing skill level but never earn my off the field respect ..!!! Funny sort of fellow quite frankly !!!

Ya just know he got into a brawl at a 21st. How old is he now?

He was smashed and walked up some lightie who had never met him before and punched his lights out. Sent him to hospital.

What kind of loser does that?

Make your own assumptions about that…

@WP_:

I don’t know about that, so I cannot comment.

Met him on a flight between CT and George a few months ago – he was travelling with Rob Louw – he coached at Rondebosch BH at the time – seemed like a nice and cool guy to me.

@WP_: He was also head boy at Queens college - a very respectable school. I am sure he is no trash.

Kempson is a brutish thug.

Maybe, maybe he learnt a thing or two at school but I doubt it. He probably cheated in his exams anyway. Piece of trash

@gunther: Actually other than a slight predilection for a late tackle from behind, Robbie seemed pretty mild to me, and certainly never blew kisses at the opposition. This maligning of a softly spoken Eastern Cape educated lover of labradors has to stop. Or I am disappearing in to the land of Skopskiet, or at least the land of long white clouds. Enough I say. Enough.
