Brings back memories of Sheeprootergate
Insert 'Sheep-rooter' Waratahs irked 2004-03-21 17:09 Sydney - The Waratahs said on Sunday they would complain to the Sanzar governing body over what they claim were insulting remarks made by a ground announcer during their 38-27 Super 12 rugby loss to the Bulls in Pretoria on Friday. Members of the Waratahs' team were incensed to learn that they had been dubbed "sheep-rooters" by the announcer. The team returned to Australia on Sunday from South Africa with team manager Dave Gibson confirming that the team intended to lodge an official protest with Sanzar. Captain Chris Whitaker said while the remarks had no bearing on the game and didn't affect the Waratahs in any way, they could hear the comments. "They would do it as you were running back to the kickoff, so there's not much noise and they would blurt it out then," Whitaker said at the airport. "I know if that was our home ground, I would be really disappointed if that was our announcer, it's something you definitely don't need in rugby, it's a gentleman type of sport. "But the right measure has been taken, there's been complaints put in to the right people." Whitaker said the remarks were both about individual players and the team. "They were bagging hairstyles and bagging people's names, things like that, which weren't called for," Whitaker said. Gibson said he wasn't aware of any punishment for the announcer and said the comments, which were made in both English and Afrikaans, occurred throughout the game. "One I got translated was when Mat Rogers went down in the first half they said, 'Get up Mat Rogers, you've only got gout'," Gibson said. "The comments were throughout the game, stuff like, 'We thought this was a good rugby team, go back to Australia, you're hopeless', and things like that. "They were certainly into Mat Rogers and mentioned Lote Tuqiri at one stage. He (the announcer) was trying to pep up the crowd but there's certainly better ways to do it than without being insulting." Gibson said the team was upset over the lack of sensitivity and tact over the use of the Bulls' mascot. "Their Blue Bull mascot was running round the field carrying a sheep mascot and I won't say what the sheep had stuck up it, but it had a sign going, 'If Aussie men can't get girls they get ..." Gibson said. "The last remark was the one that really got to me. When they scored the last try and he said, 'Go back to Australia you Aussie sheep-rooters', we thought there was no need for that."

HereGiven the amount of shit I copped at school and relating to fucking sheep I find their butthurt absolutely hilarious. That fat sack of shit Phil Kearns is also never above making the odd sheep joke nor have Australian crowds for that matter. Karma as far as I'm concerned.

@rancid-schnitzel not to mention the Bledisloe Cup NZ sheep shagger ad that the ran on national TV in oz a few years back

Probably a controversial point of view but why is this seen as humiliating for Candice? In this day and age of equal rights shouldn't it be a badge of honor to have nailed SBW ? Unless of course you think women should be ashamed of their past sexual activity.
This 100% aimed at getting under Warners skin and it has worked. I find it fucking ironic that the team who's ex captain told an opposition tail ender to "get ready for broken fucking arm" is crying foul about so called lines that shouldn't be crossed. As plenty of Aussie would say "suck it up princess" -

@kiwiinmelb Yep. Now he's a dad of two little girls and doesn't drink at all, so I'm sure he's thrilled at having his drunken toilet hookup from 11 years ago being used to shame a woman and needle a dipshit.
I've never understood why he should be ashamed of that. He pulls an absolute fucking goddess* and bangs her there and then. As if those piston wristed gibbons criticising him wouldn't have crawled along broken glass to have even a chance of doing the same thing.
*Before she downgraded to Bogan dwarves.

I thought their outrage was hilarious considering how asinine the Aussies behaviour was when they had a decent team 1998-2002. I was living in Sydney in 1999-2000 and they used such highbrow Bledisloe promotions as maoris in Waka spilling up to Bondi beach and heading to Centrelink in one ad and Matt Burke with his arm around a sheep telling it he was going to protect it from the kiwis in another. MMM who were a shit radio station at the best of times had a papier-mâché sheep on a trailer outside the abs hotel with a loudspeaker blaring out kiwi jokes in 2000.
That’s a bit of a threadjack obviously being a different code but the preciousness they displayed is hilarious compared to what they dished out.
Back on topic, I would never criticise a hot woman with terrible taste in men . My life would be poorer without such ladies .

In response to Anderson telling Bailey to stop smiling or he'll punch him in the face. Not great behaviour from anyone that day but dickish things will get said in the heat of the moment. This stuff gets way to much attention

Loved that.
It is a recurring theme that celebs get caught shagging in public places, it's almost like they are attention seeking...
(or maybe nobody gives a fuck when the rest of us do it and never make the papers. Keep on trying I guess.) -

I have been wondering about that. I made a mildly disparaging remark about her above but that was due to her choice of men - not that she was shagging in general. That should be encouraged.

I find it amazing that Rabada is being defended so vigorously. He's been done for send-offs a number of times, and he knew with 100% certainty that if he did it again he'd cop a ban. So what does he do? Give multiple send-offs during the test.
It's got nothing to do with Warner or Smith. There was ONE thing that he couldn't do, and he did it again. And again.
But of course it's all the fault of the ugly Aussies.

Nobody, not even the worst AB and Irish fans, circles the wagons like Aussie cricket fans.
