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

Reckon today's BP for the Bokke has probably won them the championship.
Can't see us picking up BP next week, but do see the Jaaps grabbing another.
I can see us smashing Ozzie in Eden Park, just the up and down bullshit that Foster's teams produce.
I hope so, cos I'm going

We scored 3 maul tries last game, unless penalty try from a maul counts as a turnover? Good to see not totally relying on turnovers tho
