Seriously. I bet he goes for a crap by bending over the toilet before opening his mouth to excrete.
...."What happened before that? Nobody ever saw that on TV, how they pulled him back without the ball...
"If that penalty were made, nothing else would have happened."
From a referee's perspective, I will tell you why this clown has this completely wrong...
Given the actions happening at the time (Cowan & Botha chasing a loose ball) if Lewis had spotted the pull-back, it is highly unlikely he would have whistled immediately. Most likely he would signal advantage Green because the ball was heading towards the Black goal-line with a Green and a Black player chasing it. Botha would most likely have continued on and head-butted Cowan regardless.
In this case, Lewis followed the ball after Cowan flicked it away, and that is probably why he didn't see the head-butt. However, a referee playing "penalty" advantage will change their focus. Once Cowan managed to clear the ball, Lewis would not have followed it, and most likely would have then seen the head-butt. This would have increased Botha's chances of being caught.
In a real sense, Botha (and the Springboks) may be quite lucky that Lewis didn't see Cowan pull him back, because if Botha had been seen delivering that head-butt then it was a certainin the second minute of the game!
I wonder if anybody has told Pillock De Villiers that.
And if you're provoked by someone tugging your shirt then an Anger Management trip is needed. Calling you a tosser or knicking your wallet, thats provocation.
True story, back in 1999, Michael Jones and Jonah Lomu came to my Church in Taupo one Sunday, and both came back to my whare for lunch.
All Blacks team naming has been delayed until Thursday, to give Cowan and Rococoko a chance to recover from their injuries.
Ranger, I usually agree with most things you say but I have to disagree on the "guildfords not that fast".. I've played against him my entire rugby life, through the age grades and let me tell you, he is very fast. And I wouldn't put it passed him to be faster than Gear, he has got some real pace.
Although I think Gear should get the nod before Guildford...
I'm just saying, Guildford is really fast.
