    I had to go to google translate. Funny though and none of it what I first thought. 😉

    Relief.
    That was my overwhelming emotion after that game.
    I was concerned that the Boks were coming off that epic battle against France and would be flat.
    And they were. They were at least 10% down on individual performance across the park.

    Having said that, I give immense credit to England for blunting the Boks in almost every facet of the game - bar the scrums once Ox and Koch came on. They kicked and chased well, were excellent in the lineouts and the loose and their defence was heroic. They suffocated the Boks virtually out of the game. In the end, it was immensely unlucky and almost cruel for them to lose the game in the 78th minute.

    On the (one tiny) plus side for the Boks, they showed enough character to win ugly when they really were well outplayed. I'll take that. But if that level of performance is repeated in the final we are going to see our backsides against the ABs.

    I also felt relief. But it was more the kind of ecstatic satisfaction that follows a tough night of spadework with an aloof smokeshow with her motherhen constantly trying to cockblock you and a constant stream of dickheads with no real hope of scoring trying to interfere. And then when you finally get back to her place you’re regretting all those brandy & cokes and the nagging doubts start rolling through. But when you step up to the tee, in the swirling wind and the driving rain with the hostile crowd booing and BOK struggling, you know you were designed by god for this moment. And the rapture sweeps you away as you drive it straight home.

    At least, that’s how it felt from where I was sitting on the halfway, up where the air was thin amongst the sour French, glib kiwis and at first disbelieving, then hopeful and as KLH knocked it on, gloating, English.

    Fans claim Mbonambi was speaking in Afrikaans after alleged slur

    Fans claim Mbonambi was speaking in Afrikaans after alleged slur

    England flanker Curry complained to referee Ben O'Keeffe following the alleged incident at the Stade de France, before World Rugby later launched an investigation.

    @Rancid-Schnitzel are you as willing to accept that curry might have made it up ?

    Yeah sure. For shits and giggles during the middle of the game Curry decided to make up a story about hearing a racial slur. He even planned it out with Marler and Farrell in advance. They made a pact to do it.

    @nostrildamus so you're not talking about what Mbonambi said? Because it sure as heck seemed that's what you were saying.

    ?? I said apparently. I didn't say Mbonambi said it. I said apparently the ref heard the same thing Curry heard.
    He didn't say he WOULD deal with it if it conditionally happened. But maybe that is what he meant. If only they were more precise with their grammar!

    @nostrildamus not apparently. There's nothing and no one anywhere claiming the ref heard it, except for you with zero to back it up. That's absurd.

    Just listening to the audio.... As an Afrikaans person really think it is Wyd Kant.... And English player assumed it was aimed at him.... Wyd kant means wide side .... I.E not the blind side

    And even the tone of it suggests it is shouted at the team and not to a specific person... Or at least that is what it sounds like to me

    Also if it was aimed at the English it would have had a fluffy bunny prefix

    No.... Think he has just made wrong assumptions. And you know what they say about assumptions.

    Did you listen to the clip? What is your opinion.... Especially the afrikaans in it?

    Yeah it wasn't even directed at him, it was being shouted repeatedly like an instruction and he decides it's for him and follows up by going up to the ref in the middle of the match with a very serious accusation that he knows will be heard on the mic.

    @Smuts I was in E12. At the end a couple of Bok fellas were ecstatic with relief. Leaping around like jumping jacks!

    Well, as said above, it needed to be investigated. My take is most likely explanation is Bongi taking Afrikaans and Curry not understanding. If Curry did understand or was shit-stirring however...
