Apart from uprisings and revolutions, what is Twitter good for?

Did anybody actually follow it? His initial tweet simply said it was a sham that Franks wasn't cited - not controversial.<br><br>
He then faced an absolute barrage of abuse from NZ tweeters. I'm not surprised he lost it. I would have too.<br><br>
Whole bunch of Irish having a go at you directly (like they did to me in 2007), it's pretty hard to not have a general pop back at the country.</p></blockquote>
His initial tweet was defensible (although the interest he takes in the foul play on this particular incident from this team is worth noting) but after a bit of needling his true colours came out. That's the issue?<br><br>
There has always been this impression tha BOD (along with Hastings, Wood, Jones and many others) have a simmering disdain for NZ. He gits a bit of stick and he shows just how thin his skin is. His replies were pretty pointed - it's not like called them fluffy bunnies and told them to fuck off.<br><br>
BOD poked for the same reason the NZ fans and now media are - they have a long standing grievance. Long may it continue. He ended is diatribe by saying he is coming out for Lions tour (I assume as an analyst) - hopefully he makes it through at least the first test this time. -

That's not the issue. It's his constant sniping at New Zealand. He's clearly a bitter individual who hasn't got over never being able to win against New Zealand.</p></blockquote>
<br>
It was also retweeted by the manatee who called him another victim of unchecked all black thuggery . They can both get fucked by a syphilitic bear. -

Not yet. I think the threshold is 3 acts of dickery against the same player. -

<p>Nepia has been doing it for the last 6 so you may as well join him for the next 6.</p> -

You did it to Richard Loe, so why not continue the tradition. -

Then using that logic, Kwade also deserves every bit of it. -

<p>Kane Douglas has all the hallmarks of a battered woman. He willingly stayed in a close physical relationship with Franks for the next 73 minutes and wore sunglasses at the after match to hide the wounds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's just enabling Franks' monstrous behaviour.</p> -

<p>We didn't call him Rickie Pokai for nothing. Just ask Greg Cooper!! Look at 2.00.00. The Carozza elbow drop was pure filth too</p>

When watching the Jonah tribute games on Sky last year I was amused to see Sean Fitzpatrick getting booed every touch he made in Pretoria in a NZ v Sco game - 95 RWC.<br><br>
For having the temerity to attack Le Roux's mouth with his ear a few years earlier, of course ......
