Hatchet media job on Watson
28 Jan 2013
Luke Watson, contrary to reports, has not launched any form of attack on Afrikaners and the administration of South African rugby.
But he now knows that there will always be a divisive element aimed at destruction in South African rugby to further individual and provincial agendas. There will also be more attacks on his credibility this season as so many within rugby and associated with rugby disgustingly celebrate undermining the Kings’ debut season because of the South African Rugby Football Union’s disgraceful handling of the Lions-Kings Super Rugby participation.
Watson three years ago described South African rugby as a game run by ‘Dutchman’. He never shied away from having made the comment but at the time expressed disappointment that a private discussion had been reported to the media and so misrepresented within the media.
He left to play for English club Bath but returned to South Africa three years ago as part of a three-year contract to be a part of the Kings’ historical entry into Super Rugby. On his return he spoke officially of his regret at the comment, however informal the occasion, and spoke of his desire to make a contribution to a unified Eastern Province and South African rugby.
He apologised to those he said he may have offended and in the last three years has concentrated on the job at hand. For some that will never be good enough and Watson’s Super Rugby challenge will be made even tougher by continued efforts to undermine and misrepresent him from the field.
In a recent interview with 702 Talkback Radio Watson was again asked about his criticism of South African rugby three years ago. The ‘Dutchman’ remark was again highlighted and he was asked for an opinion on the administration of the game.
The player confirmed the remark he had made three years ago, added that he had dealt with it on his return and in relation to a question said South African rugby as a whole was still struggling to come to terms with transformation the equal of the society that reflects change in South Africa.
Transformation, he added, would always be an ongoing issue.
Media reports singled out Watson for saying the game was still being run by ‘Dutchmen’.
‘I have always taken accountability for how I have played and for what I have said. Where I have got it wrong or regretted an action or a comment I have always been prepared to make the necessary apology and I really thought that fronting the issue of what I said three years ago was dealt with three years ago,’ said Watson, adding: ‘It really disappoints me that an interview was so badly misrepresented and a comment of three years ago made the focus and given the appearance that I have again criticised a cultural element of South African rugby. I did not in a 702 Radio interview say the game in 2013 was still being run by Dutchmen and transformation, not just in a playing numbers, will and should always be a discussion and a debate because the purpose has to be to get the desired transformation as a country, not just in one particular sporting code.’
Watson told keo.co.za that just like the Lions players suffered as a result of the uncertainty in their Super Rugby participation, the players within the Southern Kings are representative of South Africa and that players did not decide policy or participation in tournaments.
‘Every bloke in the squad will give his everything for the Kings and by extension for South African rugby. We can only influence our actions but it is not made any easier with media misrepresentation on issues as sensitive as culture and provincialism in the South African game.
‘I learn and I learned from three years ago. All I can do set the record straight on the inaccuracy of the reports attributing remarks made three years ago to a recent radio interview.’
The Kings will play in the tournament for the first time this year but are not guaranteed an automatic second year. Participation in 2014 Super Rugby will be determined through league results.

@ufo-687: oh,really???Well ,I did not see your concern when he and Katman as well as others ridiculed poppa on the death of his mother. Selective amnesia I guess.
28 Jan 2013, 21:46 pm
@wnbb-701:
now you’re just being dishonest…
i get on very well with and like poppa… and have indeed criticised people for being disrespectful about his mother’s passing…
the only one being selectively forgetful here is you…
but it’s typical of the person you are that you now try to cover up your own shameful utterings by lying and fabricating stories about others…

28 Jan 2013, 22:37 pm
@victoriabok-719: Is it true that your granny enjoyed the accommodation at Kitchener’s camps? Apparently she enjoyed the brood for wors exchange.

You really need some new material Transie/wnbb
, you’ve tried this one before and it didn’t work
28 Jan 2013, 22:45 pm
@wnbb-701: What the fck are you talking about, you halfbred mongrel? Show me where I ridiculed anyone on the death of their mother. I dare you. Off you go.
28 Jan 2013, 22:48 pm
@victoriabok-723: haha! How precious you lot are. You have been running this poodle thing ad nauseam, but, now you object to a line that has been run before!!! Take it on the chin okay. I love that line and will repeat it as often as I like.
28 Jan 2013, 22:53 pm
@katman-724: haha! Let it’s out you racist pig. Feeling better already exists?Good Afrikaner boy.You and Cunthie enjoyed mocking pops on his bereavement. Fact. Now get lost ********.
28 Jan 2013, 23:00 pm
@wnbb-726: I’ve mocked Pops on just about everything under the sun, but never on the death of his mom. And neither did Gunther. That’s your territory alone.
So come on, show me where I did or shut the fck up. Should be pretty simple.
28 Jan 2013, 23:01 pm
Good Evening Gentlemen
28 Jan 2013, 23:01 pm
@wnbb-726: let it out. Exists??Ag,the Afrikaner boytjie got the idea.
28 Jan 2013, 23:02 pm
I see another Luke thread brings out the best in many of us Keoites…..!!
28 Jan 2013, 23:03 pm
Or should I say brings out the ‘Beast’ in many of us!
28 Jan 2013, 23:04 pm
Hey Carol. This thread is toxic with this sub-human filth stinking the place up. I’d hate to leave you alone with him, so perhaps you’d be better off coming back later when he’s tikked up and passed out.
28 Jan 2013, 23:06 pm
@katman-727: You the pink wonder’s lawyer now or should that be boyfriend? You are what you are, so,don’t try and deny it now. Now,suddenly no one mocked pops.What a laugh.
28 Jan 2013, 23:09 pm
Hi Kat
I prefer the humour threads.
Luckily being British, I have the hide of a rhino!!
28 Jan 2013, 23:11 pm
@katman-732: @wnbb-733: Why don’t you just f -off you racist pig. You are nothing but a low life and a liar. You probably going to deny calling Nama a brown c$ck?
28 Jan 2013, 23:12 pm
@carol-734:
Please don’t mention any animals in your posts, wnbb the Keo beastialist will get overly excited
28 Jan 2013, 23:12 pm
@wnbb-733: I have no idea who mocked him on the death of his mom, but that’s a truly disgusting thing to do. Apart from you, I’ve never seen anyone do this. So how you have the nerve to accuse me is fcking laughable. Pull your neck in and apologise, or alternatively dig up the bit where I make fun of his mom dying. If you’re a real man, those are your only two choices.
28 Jan 2013, 23:14 pm
@victoriabok-736:
Don’t be nasty now, Vb.
28 Jan 2013, 23:18 pm
@wnbb-735:
> and a liar. You probably going to deny calling Nama a brown c$ck?
How would you know the correct colour of Nama’s c.ock?
28 Jan 2013, 23:20 pm
@katman-737: oh yeah, i mocked his daddy’s promiscuous lifestyle. Your lover showed no mercy to pops,so i see it as perfectly normal to mock your father-in-law. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander as they say.
28 Jan 2013, 23:23 pm
@victoriabok-739: haha.funny..nama is proud of his roots.In any case,why don’t you ask katters.He might have seen it since he called him that.
28 Jan 2013, 23:25 pm
@wnbb-740: So in other words, you’re a two-faced liar. You happily post slander here that you know is untrue, and when you’re caught out, you try and twist and change what you said. Did I mock Poppa about his mom dying? If yes, then post the evidence, or pack your bags and fck off.
28 Jan 2013, 23:26 pm
You have been a bit sensitive on here tonight, Vb. Jumping to the defense of the two lovers continuously through the night. Maybe playing for the other team as well?
28 Jan 2013, 23:32 pm
@katman-742No,that’s not good to happen. The evidence will be provided at a suitable time. In the meantime you know what you are. Calling Nama a brown cck just shows your despicable character.Idiot.
28 Jan 2013, 23:33 pm
@wnbb-744: going to happen
28 Jan 2013, 23:37 pm
@wnbb-744: Thought so you slimy little coward. Groot bek until you’re caught out. Then it’s all deflection and insults to try and change the topic to something a little less illuminating of your miserably weak character.
What’s it like going through life like that? Is it even an issue to you, or is that just your normal?
28 Jan 2013, 23:53 pm
@wnbb-743:
I heard it’s you on the photo below the Keo.co.za heading
First Spies and Carter and then you’re the third guy, the vetgat with his little boyfriend with the WP cowboy hat
28 Jan 2013, 23:54 pm
wnnb. you are definitely this site’s lowest, most useless, least intelligent and most disgusting poster.
which is no easy achievement.
the amount of time you spend here, confirms that in your offline -of keo- life (which is hardly ever) you are an unwanted unwelcome friendless fiend too.
don’t bother responding. nobody here is your friend. have you realised?
this is your social life? i know i should, but i don’t even pity you. it’s obvious you’re too far gone. little troll you are. the sum of your existence.
