McCaw the master
17 Oct 2011
MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day newspaper column, says Richie McCaw has earned the right to lift the Webb Ellis Cup.
McCaw was asked, 48 hours before the World Cup semi-final against Australia, who the better player was: ‘David Pocock or yourself?’
McCaw said: ‘We’ll see after 80 minutes on Sunday.’
There was no sarcasm in his answer. It was the confirmation of the challenge of a (younger) player who has been the form opensider of the World Cup tournament.
Pocock was immense against SA, legally or illegally.
All brilliant opensiders operate on the fine line of public opinion and referee interpretation. McCaw has been the master for the last decade. Australia’s George Smith was brilliant and, if his knees last, Heinrich Brüssow will make a similar impression.
Former Bok captain Corne Krige was often quoted as saying the Test played within a Test between two specialist opensiders is far removed from anything the public sees on TV or at the ground. McCaw versus Pocock was huge. This was the grand master against the next generation of specialist ball-winning scavenger. At least it was sold as such in the week.
But that would be too simple.
As All Blacks coach Graham Henry pointed out: an opensider will always be the beneficiary of how good the loose trio is and also the dominance of his tight five. In this regard it wasn’t McCaw versus Pocock, it was the All Blacks versus the Wallabies and the result was more emphatic than a handbag grab-and-run. This was a full-on assault; a legal beating in which the All Blacks smashed the Wallabies in the collision and at the gainline.
I hate the term ‘the modern game’, so I’ll refer to it as the game played in 2011 where there is so much influence in referee interpretation and not always that much faith in the principle and application of the law.
What is not about interpretation, however, is who wins the gainline battle. That is where the game has become so much like rugby league. Win the physical dominance of who takes the ball in, and who makes that one metre in the tackle, and you have momentum that is so unlike the game of 10 years ago.
Back then it was about creating mismatches and having a fullback run at a prop. It was about more numbers on attack, and the laws at the breakdown forced a fight for the ball that ensured teams committed numbers to the breakdown.
Not any more.
The game played in 2011 allows teams to have rugby- league type defence. Mismatches are rare because most props look like centres and some even have more skill.
This was a game won with gain-line dominance. The Boks’ game (against Australia in the quarterfinal) was a game lost in that area.
Lineout statistics, field position and possession dominance have little bearing if the gainline collisions are lost.
Wales will attest to that. Sure, they were heroic and magnificent in playing 14 against 15 in a World Cup semi-final for 63 minutes but when you go 25 phases with the ball, don’t break a tackle, and can’t get an extra metre, then the credit has to go to the men dominating the collisions. France did that, even though they showed no such enthusiasm with the ball.
The All Blacks were so different in class and in ambition. Their defence was matched by an opening 20 minutes as good as you will see in a World Cup semi-final.
The All Blacks were brutal at every collision, and McCaw was either first with the tackle or the first man in support. He was colossal. I’ve tried, but there isn’t a superlative to do his performance justice. He has been functioning on desire, ambition and one leg at this tournament. The foot injury that kept him out of most of Super Rugby will require a further operation after the final. He has been imposing as a leader and as an ambassador for the game.
I often say we begrudge New Zealand more than we dislike McCaw because he isn’t one of ours. This is a guy who has won 90 of his 102 Tests, and 45 of them have been against Australia and SA . You had to be at Eden Park to appreciate his contribution fully.
Likewise his humility a minute from full time. To understand that one must remember the taunt directed at McCaw in the 2003 World Cup semi-final by Wallabies scrumhalf George Gregan as the All Blacks turned over the ball with a minute to go and the game lost. ‘Four more years,’ said Gregan.
With a minute to go at Eden Park on Sunday evening, referee Craig Joubert called a scrum, the crowd counted down the minute and the big screen focused on a McCaw and Wallabies scrumhalf Will Genia.
The New Zealand crowd chanted: ‘Four more years … four more years …’
‘What did he (Genia) say to you?’ asked a journalist at the press conference. ‘He said well done and I said thanks.’
No taunts of ‘four more years’.
‘It’s important we enjoy the win, get our feet back on the ground and respect the challenge of the French,’ added McCaw, whose most famous quote at this World Cup has been: ‘Every player has a World Cup moment … I’ve had two.’
New Zealand deserves this World Cup win and Richie McCaw deserves the appropriate World Cup moment.
He has earned it.

Congrats Keo. You’ve called the knock-out stages correctly thus far. Good on you! After a poor showing in the pool stages you finally hit your straps.
But like you said last week, if you expect the French to lose… it won’t go well for you.
Point is: If you bet on the French this week, chances are there you’ll make a lot of dough! (With Kiwis being the outright favourites with the bookies.)

A giant of the game. Those of us fortunate to have seen him play will remember him in our dotage, along with other giants like Danie Gerber, Wiilie-John McBride, Gareth Edwards, Hugo Porta, John Eales, Frik du Preez and JPR Williams.

have you?
17 Oct 2011, 10:16 am
I’m sure Richie is the nicest guy out there, but all this shmultzy adulation amongst media and fans has caused a bit of a resentment backlash. When everyone speaks about him like they have some kind of teenage crush, then it paints a picture of someone who can do no wrong. And let’s face it, reffing is part observation and part preconceived perception.
So we end up with three rules of rugby: The Bakkies rule, the Richie rule and the supposedly universal IRB rule.
This Knight in shining black armour act has gotten up my nose, that’s for sure.

aussies wiping the pooo from their eyes at last.
Wallaby great Mark Ella doubts the Australian Rugby Union will delve too deeply into Deans’ role in the Wallabies’ demise.
That’s despite yet another failure at the hands of the All Blacks.
“I think we’ve played them under Robbie Deans 15 or 16 times and won twice so you’ve got to think there is something wrong on the field and something wrong off the field,” Ella declared.
“It’s okay if we go down fighting but when we’re bad against New Zealand, we are terrible.”
“We’re not even in the game which is discouraging for all of us.”
“The ARU will protect Robbie and make all the excuses but nothing much will change.”
“It’s like a Cricket Australia review … a lot of words but not much action.”
17 Oct 2011, 10:36 am
As a Bok supporter I hate to say this, but you have to give this guy and the ABs all the credit they deserve.
Their record under Richie as captain is just phenomenal and I hope they lift the trophy this time around. They really deserve it as they were the best team in this tournament. It’s just a pity we didn’t get to play them. I think we would’ve lost to them anyway.
I would hate to see them fall short again, especially against this poor French team, who already lost twice in the tournament.
Good luck Richie and the ABs.
Now let me go throw up…
17 Oct 2011, 10:40 am
after three world cup attempts (for him personally and perhaps the same or at least two for the others) AND having home ground advantage AND very blatant ‘biased’ refereeing….i would hope he comes away the title of master finally…

Sounds like the article was written by a Kiwi. I nearly threw up in my mouth.
Brussouw and Bismark are worold class pilferers of the ball and ANY team would want them in their squads…..but as South Africans we can’t even recognise or support our own boys.
In retrospect and if duh Villiers had not been the Bok coach, it would have been Bismark for the full 80 minutes competing with Pocock for the ball….with a proper ref in charge…and on Sunday this article would have been about how brilliant our own player was.

Keo is always over the top.
First he was over the top in his support of Australia as it was apparently “Their World Cup to lose”. Now he is over the top in praising NZ and their Yoda-like leader.
Fact is, Australia were never in with a chance. They lost to Ireland, and should have lost to the Boks, and they almost never beat NZ in NZ. Why would this time be different?
Now that Australia have been exposed as the pretenders they are, he is over-compensating with his liberal praise of the Kiwis.
Fact is, NZ were always gonna beat Australia in NZ.

@Great White Shark(Predawn)-28:
Do you honestly think we would’ve been able to win the ABs yesterday?
We have fantastic players and hopefully with the right coaching, we can reach the heights that we know we are capable of. It would’ve been an injustice, more so than the refereeing in the QF, if we managed to pull of another WC title with all the **** happening behind the scenes in the Bok camp over the last 4 years.
17 Oct 2011, 10:57 am
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-28:
You totally miss the point of Pococks effect versus Bissie. Pocock was allowed to slow the ball down and having Bissie also contesting wouldn’t have changed that. It wasn’t turnovers that the Aussies enjoyed, just preventing quick ball.

I maybe wrong but pocock alone managed five turnovers that I saw.

France to face the Men in Black. (c) Getty
New Zealand will wear their first-choice all-black strip in Sunday’s World Cup Final despite losing the toss to France in Auckland on Monday.
Les Bleus team manager Jo Maso correctly called heads when the coin was flipped to decide first choice of jersey and changing room at Eden Park.
Maso could have chosen for France to wear their regular blue jersey and the All Blacks to play in their all-white strip but declined to do so.
“We decided to allow the All Blacks the choice to play in black. For us it is a sign of respect and a way for our team to thank New Zealanders for a remarkable World Cup,” said Maso.
The president of the French union Pierre Camou, head coach Marc Lièvremont, team management, and players all supported the decision.
Maso added: “It is an honour to play the All Blacks when they play in their black jerseys and it is logical with the World Cup final being held at Eden Park.”
France, who will play New Zealand in white for only the second time in a RWC match, hope Maso’s winning the coin toss will be a good omen.
He also won the toss prior to the RWC 2007 quarter-final match between the teams.
On that occasion, the All Blacks were forced to wear their alternative silver and black strip and lost the match 20-18. It is the only time Les Bleus have not faced a predominantly black New Zealand jersey in World Cup encounters.
Meanwhile, Australia will wear their traditional gold jersey and Wales their red one when they battle for bronze on Friday.

@Gunther(gunther)-39:
I didn’t count, but it was his constant ability to illegally prevent us from getting quick front foot ball that allowed the Aussie defence to regroup, not his odd turnovers.

90 wins from 102 tests, that is unreal. Espicially when half of those wins have come against quality opposition (Boks and Aussie)
If he can captain the All Blacks too a WC victory this weekend he would have to go down as the greatest number 7 and captain ever.

@Gunther(gunther)-48:
Yes, but with Schalk isolated, I doubt whether Bissie could have prevented it after throwing in to the lineout. That, to my mind, was the fault of the other forwards in not getting to the breakdown quickly enough.
17 Oct 2011, 11:30 am
Oh! Some people’s obsession with WP rugby is just hilarious.
I concentrate on my team! The rule of law! When you obsess with other teams it is out of jealousy. Some great youngsters coming through. They took WP to the semi-finals and didn’t have 8 Boks to assist them. Shows names mean absolutely nothing nowadays. LOL

@David(David)-53: schalk was shadowed by heinrich going in to barge on to the aussie defence and heinrich was manhandled in a stegmann-esque way! pocock straight up walked to the side of the harphazadly formed “ruck” & kicked the ball to radike samo’s hands and bang lambie was being forced to tackle samo. the rest is history
17 Oct 2011, 11:43 am
Why the antagonism at my innocent question regarding WP’s team next year?
Don’t you want me to be interested in your team?
Other than Jantjes, Habana and the Brock, I actually think you have a decent team going there – if maybe a bit on the oldish side.
I think WP will be quite competitive next season. No, I don’t think they’ll win the tournament, but they’ll do well.
17 Oct 2011, 11:44 am
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-54: but when you have “development” coach Pine Pienaar steering the ship and Heineken trying to synchronise all the structures to play the same type of “heads up” rugby then one has no choice but to busy themselves with their rival’s business.
17 Oct 2011, 11:44 am
@Gunther(gunther)-55:
Why? This is the culmination of their 11 year building process. We are at the start of ours.
No problem if they end above us. If not now, they never will.

Here we go, its “lets worship the All Blacks time”…
Here’s a suggestion, why don’t we disband the Boks once and for all and everyone join the Caped Crusader **** and all prostrate ourselves in front of the Reechie and awesome AB altar.
Lets all be Bok haters and AB lovers…
Comeon, it is so easy:
Gushing, sycophantic Press
Refs up our team’s arses
Allowed to Rig a WC and come up smelling of Roses
Allowed to threaten Boycott and still be adored
We can insult the “yarpies” all day, knowing we’ve scre.wed them for years in S15 and 3N.
Actually, why bother with the rest of the Rugby universe, I reckon there should just be one team allowed to play International Rugby… The AB’s, who should be allowed to play with themselves to g.ay abondon.
Everyone can then just support the AB’s and forget about any other team.
As for this wonderfully Rigged World Cup… the incredible, awesome, infallible, wonderful, amazing, godlike, idolic All Blacks have won it already.
Why aren’t we all celebrating the modern miracles of the Sporting Universe… The All Blacks…
Legends in Black.

Bulls have purchased young talent very wisely for sure.
i hope they are all they are expected to be. Otherwise it’s a lost cause.
Wp may have an ageing team, but they are hardly over the hill.
Brock the Rock is getting better year by year,
We have a weakness at:
Flyhalf (if we pick Grant)
Scrumhalf cover

@rossoneri(rossoneri)-45:
good for the frenchies.
they get my respect and thats why they are a lot of peoples 2nd team.
they did us a good turn in 95 too, with the semi game in the rain.
they could have objected to playing the game in those conditions and got an automatic qualification through to the final if it had swayed the ref to call the game off.
very sporting and the end of the day and very honourable.
17 Oct 2011, 12:00 pm
Keo you are royal c*nt of note. You and all your so called expert got the Australia **** wrong. Yes, you guys got the outcome of the Bok/Australia game correct but you okes don’t have the balls to say we got the PDV led Boks wrong, the Boks had a plan to win the RWC and they delivered on it. It had to take a crook by the name of Bryce Lawrence to stop the Bok machine.
Bryce Lawrence should never be allowed on a rugby pitch again, he is as bent as Hansie Cronje or the Pakistan cricketers.

Albert Einstein arrives at a party and introduces himself to the first person he sees and asks, “What is your IQ?” to which the man answers “241.”
“That’s wonderful!,” says Albert. “We will talk about the Grand Unification Theory and the mysteries of the Universe. We will have much to discuss!”
Next Albert introduces himself to a woman and asks, “What is your IQ?” To which the lady answers, “144.”
“That is great!,” responds Albert. “We can discuss politics and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!”
Albert goes to another person and asks, “What is your IQ?” to which the man answers, “51.”
Albert responds, “So, what do you reckon happened to the Springboks?”

but Im sure we’ve all seen these jokes before, maybe a word or acronym here or there was different…
hopefully though this will get the Bokkes back to concentrating on every test match they play, because we need you guys to be as strong as possible, its what keeps driving us to be better too..

17 Oct 2011, 12:19 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-62: Suck it up sad ar se. We won, we won well and we won because you couldnt and never were going to this year.
All along I have blogged the Aussies would be NZ’s greatest threat come WC, that under the guidance of Deans and the power pack the Reds have become would be telling, but this was not to be their year. I see Australia gaining even more momentum in the coming years and probably with new and better players, as with SA, will be the constant threat for all competitions that we are included in. Instead of trying to demean and lessen our victory, maybe you should focus on what the Wallabies and the Q’Reds have achieved this year in comparison to where they were three years ago and as close as one year ago.
In Hong Kong they beat us in a tournament that was over, it was a dead rubber and a wooden spoon and the AB’s went on to another grand slam.
This year Australia has picked up the S15 and Tri-nations and in contrast to the slim pickings of the last few years you have had a ‘blinder’. You made it to the semis and had to play a team that is ranked number one in the world that has a dump truck full of reasons to win.
I think also the Wallabies will learn from this lesson in the pain of loss to show the difference between a Champion Team and a Team of Champions.
The contrast is significant and for any person to try and cast a shadow on Richie McCaws ability is only pathetic. The comparison between him and Pocock is the only solace in a shallow glass that losers look for. To compare the two is ridiculous to say the least as Pocock only has to play his role as number 7, McCaw has to lead and does so by example, do his job on the field also and has the responsibility to keep his team ranked at the top of which he has done for nearly the entire length of his captaincy.
Maybe Pocock does steal a few more balls, good on him- legend.
The sad part of all this is the fact that the Boks were not there for the final.
Shootout at the Ok Coral. It would have been fitting at this time that we are witnessing the end of an era for those of us who have this (these ) particular teams from the beginning.
So is Richie King for all he has bought to the game and World Rugby..Damn right.

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-97: as far as i know, SARU are still to announce whether there will be a 6 team relegation playoff or will it be last four drop and top two automatically go up. whether the Kings are playing 1st division currie cup they’re “guaranteed” super rugby participation as the SOUTHERN Kings also include SWD & Border ie different entities.
17 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm
With a decent ref Pocock was nowhere and not able to disrupt the ABs flow on attack. But we should have won by 20 points and not allowed BL to affect the result!
17 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm

Indeed you do. Luck is on the Top 5 list of “what you need to win a World Cup”. In 2007, Lady Luck frowned on New Zealand, this year it was our turn.
Question though… the Boks 2007 WC has been repeatedly denigrated as a soft win and hollow victory because we didn’t have to face the AB’s and Wallabies. Does the same go for the AB’s in 2011, having played Argentina in the quarters and an Oz team that probably played their final the week before?

Bryce Lawrence had nothing to do with the fact that the Boks did not clean Pocock off the ball, did not penetrate the aussie defensive line and did not win the gainline collissions. This bullshit about blaming lawrence is far too convenient. The blame rests solely with the SA players and coaches.

17 Oct 2011, 13:16 pm
@frunobulax(frunobulax)-192: Good on you, and you are right
@cab(cab)-196: No that is why we missed old Juan Smith, he would have cleared him off the ruck
17 Oct 2011, 13:19 pm
David: it’s a simple thing, I support the AB’s, so whoever supports them, me included it’s “we”, like you would say we in reference to the boks if you so choose so.
17 Oct 2011, 13:19 pm
@JL1(JL1)-201:
maybe you right, juan smith and bakkies, but bismarck and alberts would have at least got the go-forward we needed by winning the gainline collisions, which inturn would have penetrated the aussie defense, it was so static and slow they just lined up for another tackle, i read they made over 150 tackles and then someone else said 250 – what kind of slow ponderous nonsense is that?
17 Oct 2011, 13:20 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-200:
Congrats on reaching the final Poppa!
Have you stopped partying yet?
What is the mood in NZ like, do you guys feel the cup is now a mere formality or is the choking bogeyman hovering over all conversations?
17 Oct 2011, 13:21 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-202: UGH! I feel nauseous
Turning your back on your own country!
17 Oct 2011, 13:22 pm
@Helen(Helen)-204: Thanks Helen… not in NZ so cant say what the vibe is, for me personally havent even begun partying, we still have to contest the final and its not a one horse race as so many are making out…
we’re one step closer, but we are yet to reach the finish line… and the French know how to spoil our party
17 Oct 2011, 13:23 pm
@cab(cab)-203: Also the angle of attack
No variation on the angle of running, so just too straight to penetrate
Hey but they did well for a team where the players have been coaching the team for 4 years, very well
17 Oct 2011, 13:25 pm
@PissAnt(PissAnt)-195:
I think referring to any forward as a cheat, is ignoring the realities of the game. Name me one forward who would refuse to take advantage of a situation if he thinks the ref’s not looking. Hell, the whole of the front row is based on manipulating the ref and breaking the rules
17 Oct 2011, 13:25 pm
I am well aware of the behaviour of some of this site’s adherents (bloggers is being a bit generous) in 2007 and since. However, I wasn’t among the mudslingers, and frankly there are plenty of Kiwi regulars on Keo who are as aggressive, vociferous and one-eyed as their SA sparring partners.
I’d say Argentina and Fiji in 2007 were considerably better than they are in 2011, and England in 2007 were probably better than one of the French teams in 2011 – it all depends on which one will run out.
What I DON’T recall is many Kiwi bloggers taking the “You can only play what’s in front of you” line in 2007
17 Oct 2011, 13:26 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-202:
Good.
You have to keep up your reputation as a spineless, ball-less troll.
17 Oct 2011, 13:28 pm
@JL1(JL1)-207:
yeah well actually the only time our backline’s looked any good in the last year is with frans steyn at 12, cos he actually can pass the ball and i never thought he was that great at it either. i wanted to read all the books that come out and tell it like it is, matfield wanted to captain this side so there’ll be a tell-all from him, and bismarck was furious, so there’ll be another tell-all from him too.
The next coach must cut this player power **** right out from the word go, thats the problem with being too nicey nicey.
17 Oct 2011, 13:28 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-206:
I would imagine the whole “choking” thing is hanging over every conversation in kiwiland, much like a pair of overgrown Maori testiclles at a North Harbour orgy
17 Oct 2011, 13:28 pm
@frunobulax(frunobulax)-177: I was one of the first to congratulate chaps on the AB’s winning… I was also one of the first to wish everyone luck beforehand…
A clean game… a magnificent and deserved win…
But will not countenance match rigging and entitlement. Simple.
17 Oct 2011, 13:29 pm
Can someone explain the following to me. Pdivvie and the senior boks (#coolbandname) had a gameplan of defense and kicking. Keo and his chronies keep talking about letting go of ‘boring rugby’. Judging by the two semi-finals, Pdivvie got the gameplan right? Right?
17 Oct 2011, 13:30 pm
McCaw is a phenomenal Cheat, probably the greatest thats ever played, but there are better opensiders in the tournament, Pocock’s the best and is unbelievable at the moment and Warburton and Brussow are outstanding too.
17 Oct 2011, 13:30 pm
@David(David)-208:
Well yeah, you are not a cheat if you do not get caught.
That is the one way of looking at it.
I prefer to look at it as being a damn fine cheat!
17 Oct 2011, 13:31 pm
Yesterday almost 2000m were kicked.
17 Oct 2011, 13:31 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-213: And most of my posts otherwise are directed at Caped Crusaders… Saffa All Black Worshippers, who quite frankly need to be shot at dawn.
17 Oct 2011, 13:33 pm
@JL1(JL1)-205: Not as nauseating as a black man wearing a sprinkbok jersey… no self-respect
@Helen(Helen)-210: Spineless, ball-ess trolls?? He was quite clearly stating that he is a black SAFFA who supports the AB’s.. not the type who suckup for recognition from white SAFFAS … How are you darling/sweet thing/rose petal
17 Oct 2011, 13:34 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-218:
I agree.
These fence sitters are as irritating as a kakiebos thorn in a tampon.
17 Oct 2011, 13:36 pm
@frunobulax(frunobulax)-209: lol, I would have to agree completely, all depends on which side of the fence one stands dont you reckon?
@Helen(Helen)-212: Id think so too, we all cant beleive SA didnt win that game
but seriously, thats why many myself included were still very nervous 70 minutes into the game yesterday.. only IF we win the title will the Chokers tag be irrelevant…
17 Oct 2011, 13:36 pm
I am a Saffa All Black sycophant supporter.
I am a four letter word beginning with a c and ending in t.
Call me what I am….
17 Oct 2011, 13:37 pm
@RugbyStudent(RugbyStudent)-217:
True
It was a kick and chase game with only one try scored.
Very boring
Crowds are not paying to see that sh it.
17 Oct 2011, 13:38 pm
@Helen(Helen)-220: Sheezus, that must be irritating…
17 Oct 2011, 13:39 pm
JL1: not supporting the boks is not the same as turning my back on my country, that I’ve never done. I’ve never supported the boks and I never will.

Helllooo sweetie!
I see you pick your online times carefully now?
Don’t blame you for trying to avoid King Gunth. He’s been merciless of late. Much like a retrenched miner with a gold card
17 Oct 2011, 13:42 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-218: I’m sorry, but I don’t buy the rigging argument. I don’t believe any of the referees or their Grand Vizier Paddy are bent or blatantly biased. Incompetent, yes. Inexplicably protected from criticism and being held accountable – absolutely! The term used to be “royal game”. But the same can be said of many sporting codes. Both Paddy and SARU have been guilty of serving their own selfish agendas, but I can’t see it stretching to out and out corruption. There is an infinite supply of stupidity, as both Einstein and Frank Zappa attested, and it’s a far more plausible argument.
As for the Caped Crusaders, let them be. At best they’re living life vicariously, at worst they’re voyeurs.
17 Oct 2011, 13:42 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-225:
So, by saying you will never turn your back on your country, what do you mean then?
Pathetic.
17 Oct 2011, 13:43 pm
Helen: you are back again! How are you my love? Helen, what’s your new mantra now since the choker tag has fizzled out? What’s your new gimmick?
17 Oct 2011, 13:44 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-225:
Oh, ok, I get it.
It’s like the white south africans not supporting Bafana?
You go boy! That Madiba magic rainbow nation is not going to crash all by itself, you know. It needs whimps like you!
17 Oct 2011, 13:47 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-229:
It must be fun getting through life without a pair of balls, hey?
You can cross your legs whenever you want and can wear skinny jeans to the Pride Parade.
Life is good.
17 Oct 2011, 13:47 pm
Youknowwho: how are you old friend? Toy with Helen don’t go for the jugular straight away it’s more fun that way!
17 Oct 2011, 13:47 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-202:
That’s what interests me. I’m supporting the ABs in the final and in most matches where they’re not playing SA , but wouldn’t dream of referring to a New Zealander as “we”, because of it. Kiwis are a very proud people and I wonder how they feel about foreigners identifying so closely with them and their national treasure.
I remember how p*ssed off my black friends were when, in the early ’90s, contingents of black americans descended on Kippies Jazz Club in traditional African dress and talked about “we african americans”.
17 Oct 2011, 13:48 pm
Helen: we don’t sit on the fence, we are very clear, we will never be bok supporters, never!!!!!
17 Oct 2011, 13:49 pm
@youknowwho(youknowwho)-219:
you are the kind of half black supporter who wears his (XXL) all black jersey to irritate his white boss.
and then wonders why he gets drug tested twice a month and never gets called in for overtime.
17 Oct 2011, 13:50 pm
@frunobulax(frunobulax)-227: What makes a rugby ref less vulnerable or open to corruption than a soccer ref, a cricket player, a baseball player, an olympic athlete, a Tour cyclist…etc, etc, etc.?
I will tell you the answer.
Nothing.

Hmmmmm…. I am now starting to think that ET was on to something.
You and I are thinking more alike every day.
I agree, rugby is not even on the radar for match fixing, so it must be an attractive prospect for bookies who’ve been squeezed out of cricket and soccer
17 Oct 2011, 13:52 pm
@frunobulax(frunobulax)-227: As for the Cape Crusaders… let them be…
That I will do… they are free to support who they want…. and I am free to call them what they are.

Is that right, white south africans dont support their national football team?
17 Oct 2011, 13:58 pm
David 233: my support of the AB’s is not a function of acceptance by new zealanders, it’s my own personal choice, I’ve never supported any other team but the AB’s, they are not a default position they are the only position!!!!!
17 Oct 2011, 14:00 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-242:

How is that question NOT coherent??
Man, but you must be dumber than we thought!
17 Oct 2011, 14:00 pm
@Helen(Helen)-244: Yeah you tell the carnts…
Aside from calling someone a Bryce, I cant think of any other insult as bad as being called a Caped crusader or a Saffa AB prostrator…
Says it all really: Spineless, traitorous, self hating, corrupt…
17 Oct 2011, 14:00 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-236: I’m not saying it’s impossible. Just appying Occam’s razor. If in the future some leak reveals shocking tales of match fixing, I’ll gladly accept the “I told you so”, but in the absence of proof it makes us look like a band of whingers – and that’s unworthy of the team we support.
As for the Caped Crusaders, think of how hollow each victory must feel… everytime their team wins, instead of welling up with national or local pride all they have is a sense of “that’s one in the eye for the racist oppressors” – most of whom are now dead or in old age homes.
17 Oct 2011, 14:01 pm
@youknowwho(youknowwho)-246:
Not me, and I’ve been one for over 50 years, but I’m not from Manchester. To be honest, I still feel slightly guilty when I boast of WPs successes in the 80s, as apart from paying my entrance fee, I had F all to do with their winning 5 CCs in a row.

well i think mpundulu has every right to choose what team he would want to support, whats the big fkn deal. This going a we bit over on a person that supports another team.
If you ask me i find it a priviledge to have someone who loves the game from another country thats supports our team.
Mpundulu, glad to have you on board.
17 Oct 2011, 14:02 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-254:
It is a reciprocal thing.
People like Mypundu insist on turning their backs on their national team.
Reactionary whites respond by doing the same.
Really pathetic on both counts.

All Boks had to do was ditch that overrated hump of f’ng lardass cappy Smittybumkins and his 2 pathetic passenger lieutenants FdP and Spiesie and they would have successfully negotiated the 1/4 finals and possibly the semi’s too..
All these whinging die hard arsecreep patriots can now THANK these useless triumvirate of passengers for undermining Boks cause and sinking their team below France on the world ranking ladder.
Had Smit SAT OUT, and FdP and Spies with him.. and a proper ball carrier NOT Schalk Burger been employed as the go to man.. Boks would have made headway beyond Australia.. Bryce the Schmyce or NOT..
Now all these pathetic cappy marvelous aura induced compromising ommiserators can thank this cappy f’ng marvelous profusely for stuffing up Boks WC campaign from the top..

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-260:
Off course not. I was referring to the point you made about why should rugby be exempt from bribery. If, as the investigator stated, there was a strong suspicion that bookies were responsible for the food poisoning, then it’s naive to believe 16 years later, that they wouldn’t try to fix results in other ways.

Hey people, we may have had to return empty handed from our encounters wtih the Island nations, but it could have been a lot worse:
German feared to have been eaten
2011-10-17 14:03
Nuku Hiva – A German man is feared to have been eaten by cannibals on a South Sea island, the UK’s Daily Mail reported on Monday.
A round-the-world sailor is feared to have been eaten by cannibals during a visit to a South Sea island.
The man, 40-year-old business adviser Stefan Ramin, is a sailor who has travelled the world.
He apparently arranged to go on a traditional goat hunt in the forest after dropping anchor at Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia, the Mail reported.
His girlfriend Heike Dorsch, 37, says she saw him go off with a local guide, Henri Haiti who returned without Ramin.
She also claims that Haiti sexually abused her.
Last week, ashes were found in a valley by police officers. Among the embers were bones including a jaw bone, teeth and melted metal – believed to be fillings.
Investigators believe a “human body was hacked to pieces and burned”.
Guide ‘a suspected cannibal’
Haiti is now missing and soldiers from the French overseas territory have joined local police in the hunt for him.
Nuku Hiva, is the largest of the Marquesas islands and over the over the centuries there have been many reports of cannibalism.
German newspaper Bild also said that Haiti was a “suspected cannibal”.
Bild reported: “Ashes from the fire are distributed over several square metres. In it bones, dentures and an artificial denture with charred metal lay. It smells of burned meat. Around the fireplace clothes were scattered.
“A prosecutor said that the probability is that he was murdered by a cannibal and parts of him were eaten.’”
Nuku Hiva has a population of just over 2 000 and featured in the stories of Herman Melville, author of Moby ****.

2 weeks ago, Mypundu were all “we are the world” and saying we should back the backs regardless of Divvy’s selections. Adding that he backs the Boks to go all the way. He even said “we” have a team that can beat the wallabies and kiwis on consecutive weekends.
Now, 2 weeks later, he insists he has always been a kiwi supporter.
Bwhahahahahaha…. what a doos.

@Hurricane(Hurricane)-262:
Just being argumentative for the sake of it. I see myself as taking a Socratic roll with regard to questioning Mpundulus stance. There’s nothing personal in it and I’m sure he doesn’t see any either.

17 Oct 2011, 14:32 pm
yip the Boks 1st XV has this AB team, it was the Boks RWC to lose, and thats precisely what they did.
17 Oct 2011, 14:32 pm
Helen 311: everyone on this site knows, I’m an AB supporter, at times I may feel sorry for the bok fans, no one can watch such nonsense for four years and still retain their sanity!
17 Oct 2011, 14:33 pm
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-308: And I have been saying Lawrence is bent, Paddy is a twat and the RWC is the Refs World Cup (and maybe even a Rigged World Cup)…. and so?
Hardly worse than any Soozie or Wayne story?
Now farkoff with your entitlement of requiring everyone in the Rugby World to bow down at the altar of the infallible ABs… Your team has won a semi and will probably win their first WC since 87… Even if a little help was required to guarantee this.
You got your congrats. But most Saffas with any sort of spine aren’t going to morph into Caped Crusaders for the benefit of Kiwis.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-320:
Dont be daft, i dont want no one to bow down to the ABs, your going mad.
NOt once did i come on this site in 2007 and said the RWC is rigged. We should have won this.
All south Africans are cheaters and bent. South Arica paid the ref.
What you are doing is making a complete fool of yourself, carry on with your childish statements, you know the ones that are fantasy if it makes you better. This Bok loss has messed you up big time.
Shame, i use have a good ole laygh at you comments, very witty and full of great one liners.

” I see myself as taking a Socratic roll with regard to questioning Mpundulus stance. ”
How laughable in the extreme. More is the case that you are banking on your predominantly sick white bullies here being impressed with your hypocritical, pitiful stand.
You have now for weeks been going on, with much encouragement from your fellow deluded diehards, like a dripping, blood soaked old menstrual pad (the strings attached).
By your own admission, you were born in Norwich. That is in England and nowhere on the continent of AFRICA.
Your sick perception of nationality is all about where you are BORN and not where you lap up the milk and honey for the greater part of your life, denying the locals in the process even a few much needed licks.
Should you, with YOUR notion of nationality, not thus be supporting, hand on heart even Churchillian style, your beloved England always and only?
Do you ‘shout’ for England and/or South Africa during the soccer and cricket world cups?
Just the TRUTH will do.
It is even an Englishman who penned that ” all the world’s a stage” not so?
So some do not even share your restricted sick view.

I believe I’ve questioned Mpudulu about his support for the ABs on two occassions lasting about 5 posts and responses each time, and I am genuinely interested in his responses. As far as playing to the crowd, as you infer, I suggest you produce some form of evidence to support that statement. Unlike you, I don’t fall back on stereotypes to make an unsubstantiated accusation nor do I presume knowledge of anothers background, motivation or history based on my own prejudices as you appear to.
Now with so many Americans out of work, I’m sure they’d also prefer it if a foreigner, like yourself did the honourable thing and relinquished your job to a native born citizen

Typical rendition of distortions, half-truths, twisted ‘logic’ and ultimately just naked lies. Ignorance of the real truths of history and thus totally unqualified to ever make political comment.
How the jump is made from fellow racist white administrators to ” All Blacks ” is just mind-boggling.
Your RACIST S.A. governments, all, whom you now despicably protect with these LIES, advised the NZRU not to select these people of colour and when they were challengingly selected on MERIT, they were kept out of S.A. by not being issued the required visitor’s visa.

EP’s fraudster won’t back down
2011-10-13 19:58Email | Print
Rajan Moodaley (Gallo Images)

Crook in line for top EP job T20 rookie ready to lead SA Biff a huge asset – Amla Johannesburg – Rajan Moodaley has declined to back down from standing for the Eastern Province (EP) cricket presidency, despite an uproar over his nomination because he is a convicted fraudster.
“I have always and will always have cricket at heart, I’m not in it for the free tickets, drink and food,” said Moodaley.
“I want to look after cricket’s best interests. So yes, I am still in the race for the presidency.”
News of his nomination came as Cricket South Africa (CSA) was preparing for a special general meeting set to result in the ousting of president Mthuthuzeli Nyoka on Saturday.
Moodaley was the sole nominee for the vacant president post at EP cricket.
Elections for posts in the audit and risk portfolio and the presidency of the body take place on October 21.
This means local cricket could be embroiled in a further controversy with his possible appointment.
In 2004, Moodaley was found guilty by the Port Elizabeth Commercial Crimes Court of five counts of fraud totalling R79 950.
He fraudulently claimed payment from the Eastern Province Cricket Board, CSA and the SA Cricket Scorers’ Association for scoring duties he did not perform.
He was fined R30 000 or two years’ imprisonment, and a further two years’ imprisonment suspended for five years.
Moodaley is an ex-president of the Eastern Province Umpires’ Association and the Eastern Province Cricket Scorers’ Association.
CSA’s nomination committee head Ray Mali backed the nomination of the fraudster, saying he saw no reason why Moodaley could not run for the presidential post.
“I see nothing wrong in his nomination,” said Mali.
“He has been part of the correct structures as the president of the most powerful board in EP cricket (Nelson Mandela Bay Cricket Board).
“The priority is finding a president and the criteria the nominations committee works on is based on the cricket knowledge and contribution made by the nominee and Moodaley has served the game well.”
Moodaley’s nomination and the election of new EP cricket board members – who are said to be allies of the fraudster – led to the withdrawal of incumbent president Donovan May.
May said: “Just looking at the new board, I can’t work with those guys… and have decided not to stand.”
Moodaley is said to have mobilised support for his nomination from the majority of previously disadvantaged clubs which do not play in the main EP league.
They outnumber the clubs opposed to his nomination.

Is this due to the paucity of ideas or just the depravity of your thoughts?
It takes mere mins. to wage “the war of the flea” while your W H O R E St. steals for a lifetime.

you see that is the thing with you ET, you’re so irrelevant and out of touch that you think typing words on blog makes you a revolutionary.
Mpundulu supports the All Blacks because his father who was born about 100km from where mine was born indoctrinated him into it, on the contrary my father taught me rugby, made me aware of the injustice but never transfered loathing towards the Springbok.
i am a South African, no more no less than Mpundulu, i recognise the genesis of his support and it does not bother me one bit.

ok, thanks for that grant.
those are two very good points.
perhaps also add to that wish list a shake up admin wise at saru.
yes, though these two years have not been the best of times they have also certainly not been the worst of times either, as i can fondly remember some great games played by all the boys who donned the green and gold (legends from 1 to 22).
but no, we did not win the wc (not withstanding the really dishonest refereeing, which is never excuse enough all the same) and at the end of the day that was what we built towards, so i understand your disappointment.
for the future now we need to focus on all tests between wc’s but most importantly on the win/loss ratio against the blacks (its stretching too far out) and at the end of this, if we have it in us then the next wc.
some zen wisdom:
in life he who holds on too tightly, lets everything go…
use this in understanding your anger at the events that have led us here and hopefully find that is in your best interest and ours to let it go. like the zen parable you are in danger of holding on too tightly to the sad events of the past and in so doing letting go of all the rest of life and the (hopefully positive from here on in) journey that is the springboks and the nation of player 23′s who support them.
lets keep it in our hearts to celebrate them all the same, while we keep it in our heads to try and rebuild as well as rediscover our successes as we know and believe the boks, and by extension us too, are capable of.
if there is one team i believe is capable of picking themselves up from the floor and lifting themselves back up to where they belong it the springboks.
our blood is always green,
go bokke!

Sane sentiments and advice.
I complained towards the end of Jakes tenure that he’d done very little to create young depth for the post RWC years. Our bench was just a weaker like for like of the players they’d replace and most senior players were destined for overseas. PdeV promised to change that and yet apologised recently for not doing it.
We need a coaching team that is prepared to build a fluctuating pool of players who can be called on to provide the same level of quality for every game.
17 Oct 2011, 19:33 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-513:
well if kirsten’s serious about success and whats required to achieve it he will seriously look at changing captains, perhaps for starters.
he certainly does not exude a pdivy air about him.

Especially hypocrites on this site who were quiete when the likes of Craven unashamedly said no Black person will ever wear a Springbok jersey. Hypocrites here on this site would have killed Cheeky Watso and his brothers for playing non racial rugby in the sixties. And you wonder why he is such a hated figure in some of our communities.
Some people have painful memories re-Springbok history and are rightfully bitter and can never get over it and are entitled to feel like they do. Some people are over those memories and I gues they are entitled to feel like that.

17 Oct 2011, 19:45 pm
watching the AB – Aussie semi again it becomes reasonably clear this WC has been more or less set up to favor AB’s
Aussie were always chasing the game from the early Dagg break to effect the Nonu try.
AB’s were always in control though discreetly aided by Joubert who had a good game with the whistle although he made reasonably sure AB’s always maintained that modicum of control throughout.
Bryce Lawrence was briefed to eradicate the one possible threat to AB domination which was to cripple the Springboks in 1/4′s and Joubert kept the program on course by ensuring AB’s were never in danger of relinquishing their hold over Australia from kick off.
And so it plays out that the darling of the rugby world gets to lift the cup 24 years after the inaugural WC way back when it was first conceived as a purpose for anointing the king of the rugby world every 4 years, and against the very same opposition all over again, a script dreamt up in Hollywood or else in IRB back room script writers directive. either way one couldn’t have dreamt it up any finer than this for the true rugby sentimentalist to have his RWC cake lavished with the cream of sentimental expectations adorning the confectionary and what’s more he gets to eat it too.
Who could have written it any more appropriately, not a one, because this little pantomime has been hatched up in the offices of the powers who control the structures and hierarchy in rugby parlance long time ago, this little pre ordained episode of the inevitable outcome has been rehearsed and rehashed through the minds and wishes of those who pull the strings so utterly and thoroughly that any defiance or deviation from its course of intention would simply not ever be given the green light of acceptance nor the inappropriate right of way.

Peter mkaba: a lot of the bloggers who have an issue with me fall under the whole Mandela mantra that we have to show the boers we really mean to reconcile by supporting the bok brand, white brand as Mandela envisaged that. That was Mandela’s form of social engineering, however, I’m free to support whoever I want, you are quite right I don’t need anyone to justify or accept my position, and I’m certainly not asking them for permission, that I can assure you will never happen!!!! if they are sour about it and angry that I’ve not followed other blacks into their corner that’s their problem, I don’t hold brief for anyone least of all them!

@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-526: on the conspiracy bandwagon skop? how degrading for you..
is it only when SA win the thing that everything is ok and above board? seems the ABs had just as much cause for concern in 07, but that was widely discarded as sour grapes and not being good enough..
love the fact its come full circle and many on here are finding out exactly how NZ supporters felt after Cardiff, and it seems some are even getting precious about kiwis returning the banter they received for the last four years… I believe thats what you like to refer to as karma?
aint it a b1tch!!
17 Oct 2011, 19:58 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-511:
I agree, it is just a sport and I certainly wouldn’t brand you a traitor. I was just intrigued that you identified so closely with the ABs. I grew up in England and absolutely loved the way Wales played, and just wished England had the same flair, rather than cheering for Wales to beat them. That’s the frustration of being born in a particular country when it comes to your national side, rather like not being able to choose your family.
I’ve been in SA for a long time, but only since 1994 felt proud to really support the team of my adopted home. That doesn’t mean I haven’t admired and been exited by the Boks prior to then, but I couldn’t identify with them as representing me.

Mpundulu stop chucking all the bloggers into one basket FFS
17 Oct 2011, 19:58 pm
CONGRATULATIONS to All Blacks.
Am a Saffa [in US], but huge supported of AB’s. How can you not respect for what they’re doing for rugby. How to……….play rugby the RIGHT way comes to mind…
Get minds ready for French………all it takes is 2 intercept tries and panic sets in…to any team..

17 Oct 2011, 20:02 pm
The ABs deserve to win this WC given their between WCs record.
17 Oct 2011, 20:04 pm
Naughty pundie.
Next thing he will be singing THAT song…
17 Oct 2011, 20:05 pm
David: I think the difference is that I don’t feel anything for the boks, I’m still a south African. I grew up supporting the AB’s just as white south Africans grew up supporting the boks. Why is there a requirement for me to support the boks, why do some bloggers here get so irate, what’s the real motivation behind their anger, surely they can’t be labeling me a traitor because of a rugby team, that’s just ridiculous.

17 Oct 2011, 20:07 pm
and Boks aided this pre hatched plan by entering the fray carrying their overrated wannabee has been over the hill prima donna passengers instead of their bust a gut raring to go young lion winners, perhaps Pdv has been on the IRB take too, check out his bank account, follow the money trail check out who been selling the Bok brand short in favor of AB WC crowning glory sentimentality.

Wazzup pops how come no-one wants to act as my tour guide around Lower Hutt

@Dawn(Dawn)-542: hey Dawn, have never been there myself (one of the few places I havent) so cant say for certain…
17 Oct 2011, 20:17 pm
I’m not harping on about anything and I am not anyone’s sweetie.
I am saying … Slowly… Do not chuck all the bloggers into your boere basket.
You get it?

If you saw Jabba the Hutt, you’d understand the fear of a lower version.
17 Oct 2011, 20:28 pm
Dawn: I’ve read some bloggers refer to you in some vile references, quite awful actually, so if sweetie comes across as a continuation of that I do apologize. Nonetheless, if you read my post I did not say every blogger or all bloggers but rather a lot of bloggers, so dawn what are you harping on about, before you respond do take a moment.
17 Oct 2011, 20:28 pm
Aha! Now I know!
17 Oct 2011, 20:31 pm
I’m saying don’t paint all bloggers with the same anti-AB brush and I don’t need a moment.
Third time lucky?
17 Oct 2011, 20:39 pm
@once more just take a break on the beach, dear springboks, once more…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-509: If the Boks won every head-to-head encounter with NZ between now and RWC2015, they’d still be in arrears on the historical ledger. That’s how wide the gap has grown.
17 Oct 2011, 20:40 pm
Tackler. Please answer if you so deign.
Do you live near Lower Hutt.
17 Oct 2011, 20:45 pm
Oh dawn that’s precisely my point I’m not, read the entry again! Really dawn…,,
17 Oct 2011, 20:46 pm
AB’s deserve this cup. We have been inconsistent and lately really mediocre so no whinging about refs from me. They’ve been the top ranked side in the world for the majority of the professional era so I think we should give credit where its due. Even if they dont win the final nothing changes that. We’re ranked 4 right now and I think if Wales beat Aus for 3rd place we could slip lower (not sure about that). Anyway France dont deserve this so I hope AB’s get it together for this final and keep the cup in the SH at least.

Best of luck to the All Blacks this weekend. It would be a travesty of justice for the French to win, after their poor showing so far. The Kiwis are looking good, I loved watching them dismantle the Wobblies on sunday.
17 Oct 2011, 21:15 pm

17 Oct 2011, 21:24 pm
You seem to have this bee in your bonnet that everyone is against you for supporting abs.
So what if you do. No-one gives a toss.
When I was a kid my whole family were anyone but the boks. They still are. Who cares.
S true what helen says. Coupla weeks ago you were all boks this and boks that.
That’s what we call tweegevreet.

Dawn: thats it!!! This can’t be your full onslaught, you dribble on about your family and then plagiarise helen’s rubbish and you believe that to be some sort of coup de grace. Dawn you don’t have the aptitude or imagination to battle with me, just be sated that I’ve some spreadsheets to go through tonight or I’d have slaughtered you.
17 Oct 2011, 21:44 pm
Well done AB’s, looking like champs. Enjoy it kiwis, wish boks were there to challenge. Jealous!
17 Oct 2011, 21:46 pm
That’s what you think.
And I never dribble about my family I respect them.
And it is the truth. They are the same as your family.
Aptitude? Imagination? I have them in spades.

@Dawn(Dawn)-553: Dawn, I live in Welliington city, and Lower hutt is part of the wider Wellington region. Anything I can do for you?
Piri, Nonu, Jane etc are frequently seen around Wellington, they look like a friendly and fun loving bunch of guys. Piri in particular turns out for all sorts of community and kids orientated events, and would play club rugby 7 days a week given the opportunity.

In Wellington, the “good addresses” all start with K. Khandallah, Karori, Kilbirnie,…

Tackler, khandallah is a nice place but can be very pricey to live.
Its only and 20 min drive from centre of Lower Hutt.
18 Oct 2011, 01:01 am
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-612: Pricey therefore means it’s top-quality and sought-after, surely? Bishopscourt, Houghton, Musgrave, Remuera, etc
18 Oct 2011, 02:44 am
Sandown, Waterkloof, Walmer Estate, Constantia, Noordhoek, Plattekloof, Welgemoed….

Walmer Estate, Tackler? Waar val jy uit?
18 Oct 2011, 09:34 am
My kids go to school in Khandallah… my oldest daughter was in the Kapa Haka (Maori performance) group. I don’t think there was more than one Maori or Pacific Island kid in the group, but they always got a big cheer at Kapa Hapa festivals – puny white kids that they largely were
Khandallah is a big suburb, not all of it is posh but there are quite a few embassy houses as one side of the suburb has amazing views over the harbour and city (right over the Stadium).
Lower Hutt is more of a working class “city”, its got some posh bits but a lot of it is relatively affordable.
don’t think chicken is Piri’s problem – it is pies. Generally the catch phrase when he is around is “Who ate all the pies”? a la Shane Warne.
Rugby reunion just come on tele – Jake white on yet another NZ talk show. God he is a media sl*t!!!
18 Oct 2011, 09:46 am
I have just been watching a highlights package…. interesting coverage of the Wales v Island match. it wasn’t commented on, but there was a slow mo clip of Warburton lifting an Irish player in the tackle. Same technique – he was standing still with bent legs, tackled the Irish player low then drove upwards rather than forward. In this case, Warburton didn’t lift the player’s legs above horizontal, but he then drove him in to the ground.
I.e. this isn’t a case of a dominant tackle hooking the tackled player up to take their weight off their feet as the tackler drives forward. In both cases Warburton was stationary, and drove vertically with no forward momentum.
He isn’t a dirty player and doesn’t seem to have any intent to tip the tackled player right over, BUT his technique is very risky, as it can easily go wrong as was the case on Saturday. Bad luck, but red card was required by the rules.
25 Oct 2011, 14:13 pm
One thing Frik du Preez did is put over a drop goal from his own 25 ( 22 now) which is the longest drop goal ever . Or was when I last read it many years ago.
Have your say
