I now know that The Roar is just a blog vehicle for amateur writers but this one is labelled “expert”.
Funny that he tries to build a narrative around Ryan’s fumbled handshake with Schmidt when if he had done his homework he’d have watched Ryan’s interview where he was genuinely feeling a dork for missing it and laughing about how he had been given so much shit.
Non event.Totally, that was pointless. But his actual analysis is good. remember he's writing for an ozzie audience

So the boks don't have a fit ten in their squad now
Springboks statement: Two team members sent home
The Springboks have sensationally sent two members of their team home to South Africa to minimise distractions for the team.

Dietician Zeenat Simjee
I had to look her up to see what she's like. Am I allowed to say this today but SA rugby was sort of asking for an issue.
Yep, after a quick google, WTF were the Boks management thinking? TBF they have had that Dr/Physio for a while without incident so must have thought they'd be ok.

I think the greatest harm is that the two of them needed to return home, like they were in disgrace or something. Two consenting adults, nobody was harmed as far as I know (except for current partners). She was just the dietitian. She is hardly in a position of power. Who cares if she hands out an extra muffin or two.

And they said no protocols were broken. I think the problem is he's married with 3 kids and it's a distraction.

It probably became a distraction once a big deal was made about it. If everybody minded their own business it may not have been a problem.
And it's out there in the public domain now. That's the real shame.

It came from next door room talking to the press about the big argument they had in the hotel, the sending back wasn't the first bit public. But yeah, next room should mind their own business
