Not in the context of what I was saying and replying to, which was about England being a bunch of whiners. "All" was in regard to Curry's actions, not the actual possible racial slur. Which I agree, is significant if proven to be true.
-
@Catogrande it's an extremely significant accusation to make on the fly. He knows the ref is mic'd up. Or maybe not, it is Curry.
-
Ah! Me taking you out of context rather than the other way round. If unfounded then his action is significant. Agreed. However in the context of England being whiners, my point stands. Not much evidence of it currently.
Not sure what you’re getting at with the “it is Curry” bit. He’s not known for being a twat. Well, no more than any decent openside that is.
-
@Catogrande I'm not surprised you've missed my umpteen posts prior to this incident calling him a moron, but they're there. Makes SBW look like a genius.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel are you as willing to accept that curry might have made it up ?
-

Relief.
But if that level of performance is repeated in the final we are going to see our backsides against the ABs.I hope not, for your sake and my eyes. Forgive me but the SA 23 don't bear any resemblance to Charlize Theron. Besides, you are defending RWC World Champions and number one, play in the NH, and had some good matches to tune up and reach match fitness. We are definitive underpups.

Steady on.

Unlikely, since the ref apparently also heard it. But they both could have misheard. I don't think this is an issue, but if you'd like to stand down the whole starting front row (or the reserve bench) against the ABs, I won't complain.

Where have you seen that? Pretty damning of O'Keeffe if so and if not that's another false yet damning slur.

From the fine and impartial writing of the Sun
England'S Curry accuses South Africa's Mbonambi of racial slur during semi-final
ENGLAND star Tom Curry accused South Africa’s Bongi Mbonambi of calling him a “white c***” in a staggering World Cup race row. And World Rugby chiefs are now under pressure to BAN the Springbo…
In the conversation, picked up by the “ref link” microphone, the Sale flanker went up to the official and said: “Sir, Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c*** what can I do?"
O'Keeffe responded: "Nothing please. I’ll be on it."And I did say, "apparently" but hmm, yes it still depends on the "if their"...ok this is a real hypothetical.
-
@nostrildamus so you're not talking about what Mbonambi said? Because it sure as heck seemed that's what you were saying.

I think I’ve seen most of the, just don’t agree with any 😀

Steady on there! No claiming underdog status for the AB's.
You're bookie favourites (I say so with zero empirical evidence - which is the Fern way of course)

Good. Get it sorted and put to bed rather than let it rumble on.
-
@Victor-Meldrew by Friday would be good. But not before then.
-
@Billy-Webb 4 years under the worst AB coach in professional rugby history up against a battle hardened Bokke that are potentially the greatest rugby side ever with back-to-back RWC's and a series win over the Lions?
There can only be one plucky underdog in that mismatch
