    @Steven-Harris after seeing some of the after game pics I wonder if those were airbrushed a little...

    @jegga

    **We are talking about the stream of teenage dopers aspiring to become Springboks. We are talking about Aphiwe Dyantyi – the 2018 World Rugby breakthrough player – testing positive for anabolic steroids and metabolites on July 2nd.

    “They are massive,” said Conor O’Shea. “The most powerful side I’ve seen on a rugby pitch.”**
    Sounds like a legit problem to me

    As if it were possible, Scotland's RWC gets worse.

    Ouch! Does seem rather petty by WR, but I guess you reap what you sow. It's kinda funny...

    Scottish Rugby has responded by saying "we will now reflect on this outcome and further consider all our options, which may include arbitration"

    The fluffiest of bunnies.

    How hard is it to just say - we got carried away emotionally / heat of the moment etc. and we apologize?
    They're just looking worse as they keep digging.

    Scotland - Just stop already. You're not going to win here. Ask the SA Justice4 campaigners from a decade ago...

    Made me laugh. If you make an ass of yourself it shouldn't really come as any surprise if it comes back and bites you on the ....well... ass.

    and they responded with

    The fluffiest of bunnies.

    Do these options include deciding not to be fluffybunnies?

    Santiago Arata is one of the Uruguayan players without a European contract (he plays in the MLR in the USA). I wonder whether that will change. He was one of Uruguay's best players during the RWC.

    So it might be semi official that Wales and England are joint de facto holders of the 2019 Webb Ellis Cup.

    But we lost to England in the semis and the Boks finished behind us in pool play so it did not have any effect on who we played in the playoffs.

    This sort of suspicion just places an asterisk next to another of South Africa's RWC wins:

    • 1995 - playing against a team suffering food poisoning. Still took extra time to complete.
    • 2007 - Wayne Barnes.
    • 2019 - steroid munching team.
