Agree with Ross about the transparency of the ref reviews. The rugby player has an immediate result to his mistakes – penalty, sin bin, couple of weeks ban, I think all that most of us want is to see that there are consequences for refs when they make a mess. For far too long this was something done behind looked door’s giving the impression that refs were royal game not subject to the consequences of their actions.
What a dumb and silly suggestion – how do you explain the Crusaders success???? Eh ! Who gave the command for Perinara to boot for touch….Ardie apparently….duh…. When you are a back short, all the opposition need to do is flick it wide, take the advantage down the sideline, feed it to your forwards (a good pack) and push over…..or same but kick it out, line-out 5 meters, and pushover. Guarantee if BB hadn’t stuffed up the tackle etc.,might have been 5 points, maybe 7, but that would have been it.
Springbok winger Sbu Nkosi has been reported missing from the Bulls camp – according to South African news outlets.
According to Netwerk 24, the out-of-favour Springbok has not turned up at Bulls training since 14 November. More worryingly, it is also being revealed that his family have also reported the winger missing to police in South Africa.
Nkosi was meant to tour with South Africa ‘A’ as they took on Munster and Bristol Bears in November, touring alongside the senior Springbok squad,  but a rib injury ruled him out.
The winger who featured at the Rugby World Cup in Japan has fallen down the pecking order in recent years and was sent home from a Bulls tour of Ireland and Wales back in October after missing a curfew, apparently to visit a friend.
RugbyPass understands that Nkosi had similar off-field transgressions during his career and that Jake White’s Bulls came down hard on him to send a message as a result of the latest breach.
Shortly after he was sent home a rib injury ruled him out of the Springboks tour, which was noted in a SA Rugby statement back on November 4th.
“It is unfortunate for Sbu, Marco, and Jan-Hendrik that they have been ruled out of the tour and I am sure they are very disappointed, but injuries are part of the game,” said Stick. “This has opened the door for Elrigh, Leolin and JJ to get an opportunity to show showcase their skills and I’m sure they’ll want to make the most of this opportunity.
“Elrigh, Marco and Sbu have all been in the national system in the last two seasons, and as coaches we know what we have in them…”
I remember it as if it were yesterday. I looked around Twickenham, and could hear a cacophony of boos, that went straight through me.
In 2016 the elusive winger was part of the Junior Springbok team that finished fourth at the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Manchester, England. He then went on to represent the Cell C Sharks, making over 60 appearances for the coastal side before signing for the Vodacom Bulls.
Nkosi was born in the Mpumalanga town of Barberton and completed his schooling at Jeppe High School for Boys.
