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>

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. -

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

<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 ...... -

<p>Having read Gav's ( admittedly quite boring ) book he was pretty good in his praise of NZ, he said a lot of players were in awe of how they went about their rugby and that NZ was ahead of the world in their training and skills, still the book is about 20 years old, he might have turned into a whinging fluffybunny in that time.</p>
