IRB in a huff over protest

The IRB and British media is in a huff over the Boks protest action in the test on Saturday.

Sport24

Despite reports the IRB will take action against the Springboks for wearing white armbands in the third and final Test against the touring British and Irish Lions at Coca-Cola Park in protest at Bakkies Botha’s two week suspension, by Sunday evening SARU hadn’t been notified of any investigation.

SARU CEO Johan Prinsloo said the players should rather have followed the correct channels in airing their grievances.

“If there’s a problem, there are channels that ought to have been followed. One needs to find solutions rather than create further problems.”

Meanwhile, former British and Irish Lions and Ireland hooker Keith Wood believes the Springboks’ protest was unnecessary.

“I’m annoyed by it. It just looked ridiculous. Such protests should be done over something far more serious than what happened to Botha.

“He’s been unlucky in the disciplinary process to get a two-match ban and most people recognise that, but to make such a deal out of it was surprising to say the least. If you are going to protest then have something to protest over.”

The Telegraph website on Sunday reported that the IRB would be investigating the Boks’ action.

    does anyone know why Jamie Heaslip was not giving his 2 week suspension for the same cleanout but from the side?

    If no suspension then we know bakkies was victimised, easy as that.

    And Keith Woods can shut his pie hole, if suspensions were used in his playing days he would’ve been capped much less than he was. A true dirty ol bugger.

    And the gutless wonders of SARU never cease to amze as they play a nice game of CYAF (Cover Your Ass First) and leave their players in the lurch.

    What they should be doing is comingout and telling the IRB that they can go fornicate with their parentage of the matrelineal branch of their families and refer to them as “dear Icky Yellow Vaginal Discharges”

    But they DO NOT HAVE THE GUTS AT ALL

    They are like those funny jellyfish that float in those ponds in the Pacific ocean… one wave and they just tag along with the flowe. And a simple curernt and all their resolve just disappates in a puff of white speckled water.

    Jonas walks past the pet shop, and an african grey says…”Hello”

    He stops, turns, and comes closer to the birds cage. As he stood in front of the cage, the bird choons him

    “Fokkof jou sleg moer!!”

    Jonas skrik sy gat af, gryp sy hoed in sy hand, and says

    “Auk skies my baas, ek het gadenk djy es die vool”

    Eendag merk die dominee ‘n klein seuntjie in die voorportaal van die kerk op, wat aandagtig na ‘n groot gedenkplaat teen die muur staan en kyk.

    Dit was oortrek met name en daar was klein landsvlaggies weerskante.
    Die sewejarige seuntjie het vir ‘n lang tyd aandagtig na die plaat gestaan en kyk.

    Toe loop die dominee nader, kom staan langs die seuntjie, en sê saggies: ‘Goeiemore my Seun.’

    ‘ More, Dominee sê hy, met sy oë nog vasgenael op die plaat. Dominee, wat is dit hierdie?’ vra hy.

    Die dominee antwoord: ‘Wel, my seun, dit is ‘n gedenkplaat vir al die jongmanne wat in die diens gesterf het.’ In doodse stilte en met groot eerbied staan die twee toe voor die plaat en staar na die name.

    Uiteindelik, in ‘n skaars hoorbare stemmetjie en bewend van vrees vra die seuntjie:

    ‘Watter diens Dominee? Die agtuur- of die elfuurdiens?”

    ‘n Seuntjie kom by sy ma en vra: “Mamma, as mens regtig nie anders kan nie, en jy moet vloek, is dit beter om die “F” woord te gebruik of om die Vader se naam ydelik te gebruik?”

    Sy ma sê: “Nee, mens mag glad nie een van die twee gebruik nie, dis baie lelik!”

    Seuntjie: “Maar as mens regtig nie anders kannie, wat dan?”

    Ma: “Gebruik dan liewer die “F” woord, maar net as jy nie anders kan nie!”

    Seuntjie: “Goed dan, ma – daar sit ‘n hottentotsfok op jou kop!”

    Koos hitchhikes from jo’burg to Capetown.

    This old oom and tannie in a bakkie pick him up, it’s hot, and he sits in the front with them, no talking, silent the whole way down, @ 100 km/p/h.

    Eventually Koos can’t handle the silence, he starts telling them about this terrible sexual experience he had with a woman some weeks before, and how he still has nightmares about it, she was absolutely ghastly, it came close to putting him off women for life.

    The tannie was kind of hard hearing, so she asks the oom:

    “Wat se die jong man nou hier, pa, ek hoor niks wat hy se nie?”

    “Nee my vrou, hy se hy dink hy ken jou van erens” 8)
