Duhan van der Merwe hat-trick sinks sloppy England to win Calcutta Cup

well you tell me why there is a UK team in the 7’s?? The 3 nations is a tournament local to the so called nations in Breat Britain. What is the team called when they go to the olympic games. What a pleb you are.

The lady doth protest too much. I’ll look out for the ‘UK’ team in the next round of the 3 Nations, good luck.

aren’t we governed by the same government, locked by the ocean. What is a sovereign state you prick. Is the USA not a country ??? France and Ireland aren’t part of the UK in case you don’t know that. Just bugger off because you are fu;cking dumb

last time I checked ‘the UK’ is a sovereign state of 4 countries/nations. Particularly in a rugby context. You know, “6 Nations”. Stop trying to be smart when you call someone dumb.

how many times do I need to tell you I am not South African!!?? I am British, have a British passport and live in Devon in the UK you domass. You are really showing how dumb you are.

Safas dont like being called out for their BS huh

go and slither away into your crevice you blo;ody idiot

all without malcolm marx

Springboks and Kolisi in line for top Laureus awards

since when is ‘the UK’ a country.

my country is the UK you blo;ody idiot

#JUSTICE4 Derek and his family, friends and country.

at least you gave me a value. You are of no worth to your family, friends, and your country. You are worth fokall

Lets ask Bryce Lawrence what his ruling on cynical fouls like Etzebeth’s would be.

cascading tears of laughter. Wheres’ my Mastercard, I’ll buy that for a dollar. Exhibit 1 - Derek. Priceless. #JUSTICE4 Etzebeth.

Stoked to see Scotland put it to England, some great rugby in there (also some scrappy rugby from both teams) and as much as I applaud VDM’s contribution it is not at all done from the viewpoint that he is an SA boy. He’s playing for Scotland, under Scottish coach with Scottish teammates, wearing Scotland’s flag on his chest. He may have developed a passion for rugby whilst growing up in South Africa, but he became his best in the Scottish system. Good for him, good for Scotland. Not every South African is as you describe in your, frankly, weirdly toxic post. It’s a bit over the top pal, but whatever, if it’s how you see things that’s up to you. Let’s see Scotland match that intensity v Ireland, I hope they do 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💙 🇿🇦

Up the Jocks ! a great team effort and 4 victories v on the bounce v their greatest rivals for those north of Hadrians. But, of course, before the celebrations survive the first pint of McEwans, it seems for some this Calcutta Cup match was merely 1 man v 15.

What exactly is it about Sth Africans that make them such insufferable bores ? you rarely see Kiwis claiming Ireland victories (incl 3 x NZers) or Aussies for that matter (X1). You never see Samoans claiming France/England victories (Tuilagis). Or Fijians claim All Black victories. Scotland have had some great Kiwi-born players (S.Lineen/B.Laney/J.Leslie) - no surprise given their heritage - but they supported them as their ‘2nd team’. If anything they applaud their countrymen for taking opportunities and bettering themselves as professionals and, hopefully, competing on the World stage too. It takes some stratospheric level of stupid to ignore the opaque boundaries and qualifications that now allow Japan to be competitive, Portugal to win a RWC game, Argentinians to play for Italy, New Zealanders to dominate Tongan and Samoan teams - and not celebrate that World Rugby is more competitive and better for it. Everywhere on social media, even when the post has zero to do with Sth Africans (schoolboy rugby being the most obvious barrel-scraping eg - these are KIDS), they pile in and try to claim the “we are better/stronger/faster” with such voluminous levels of obnoxious bile, that it poisons the mere celebration of the sport itself. These are not ‘rugby fans’ that can marvel at the Game they Play in Heaven, but rather some misplaced insecure-fuelled poison that they need to extract from deep inside their psyche. Its hard to understand the exact reason for the massive chip on their shoulders and their desperation for the victimhood/noone-loves-us-we-dont-care, but it seems accelerated with their LOTTO Cup 1-pt wins, like gasoline on the fire. Obsessed with ‘cheating’ refs and ‘cheating’ opposition (Rassies video bloopers during Lions tour; McCaw’s whole career) and celebrating their own thuggery (#JUSTICE4 the dirtiest player in pro-rugby history), when luck suddenly goes their way (1995 Final vs an acutely comprimised ABs; Kilosi<->Cane cards in 2023 Final) or their players escape adequate penalty (Etzebeth 1-handed non-intercepts; Kolbe illegal chargedown; Etzebeth cynically retreating in the AB backline) so obviously that its clearly been coached, then suddenly its AOK as long its SA that benefit directly from it.

The schizophrenic nature of Sth Africans presents them as good company in person - and lets face it, theyre EVERYWHERE now and cant get out of their own country fast enough - but as anonymous keyboard ninjas their true nature shines out as one beset with a dark undercurrent of toxic self-absorption. It appears that the bravado appears only under the protection of anonymity, a cowardice of insufferable reverse-flagellation to make themselves feel proud when the mirror stares back at them. Give yourselves a long slow clap.

Well done to the entire Scotland team including all those born south of Hadrians Wall. Playing a fantastic fast pace of fluid ball-in-hands rugby that seems almost foreign to other teams. Och aye the noo.
