@News24 Further, while social media is a source of legitimate news (when properly checked), nothing is more galling than basing stories on "reader reaction". Lazy given the "reader" isn't a homogenous block. For a subscription service, they must be held to higher standard.

Great game. Both teams would've deserved it. Sacha will learn from it. Williams really helped to turn things around. Well done Ireland! Test rugby delivers once more 😃 . #SAvIRE.

Biden's support is, to paraphase and borrow, going bankrupt slowly then (will) very suddenly. At a guess, he'll be gone by the end of July when donors pull their support.

Calling the #Proteas loss a choke is lazy & cheap. We were odds-on to win but Klaasen edging a nothing ball is how games turn. #India then exposed our long tail (#Bumrah = wow) plus a worldie. Very proud of the team! They showed real guts all tournament 🇿🇦 #T20IWorldCup #INDvsSA.

What stuck me as the Bulls got outplayed by an excellent Glasgow in the #urc2024 final is how badly they missed Willie le Roux. In H2, the lack of creativity was clear. Another voice may have succested scrum rather than lineout at the end maybe? They dominated the last scrum!.

@WorldRugby @Ben_from_Tax We can all be kinder to ourselves and just enjoy the game for the game. Easy to say since the Boks won but what I'm most proud of their sheer resilience, and how they carried themselves. The trophy is the cherry on top.

@WorldRugby @Ben_from_Tax To truly enjoy sport, the journey and process is the joy. Sport is meant to bring thrills (and despair!) because it grabs our emotions and takes them from 0 to 100 in seconds, but in a sphere where, generally, the only cost as fans is how we feel afterwards.

@WorldRugby @Ben_from_Tax It's just another sad signal of how outrage sells, regardless of the fact that in sport, the scoreboard does not lie. As a person who has been repeatedly scared by the Proteas and Cricket World Cups, you realise no one will save you but yourself.

@WorldRugby @Ben_from_Tax If the Boks lost because of the BBBBB try, the worst elements of SA's rugby media (and Twutter) would milk it for months (just look at the whole "kant" narrative. it's now embarrassing but classic). We are no exception at all.

@WorldRugby @Ben_from_Tax NZ nor England (till the 2nd half anyway) didnt concede scrum penalties. Instead of treating the symptom, why don't you spend years developing world class props?.
