Guess the rockstar that uttered this truism recently:

"I hope the game doesn't lose aggression because then I'll stop playing it," he said.

Straight from the horses mouth! Guess the man, and you could get an invite to the increasingly famous 'bring your own topping pizza evening' to be held concurrently with the screening of the Springbok v England game at the Largo Road house of hedonism.


This may be a tad tricky so I will give you a clue. This man is more dangerous in the collision than Nic WA at a Pink concert...

PS: And just for the sake of clarity here is IRB Law 10.4 section (e) that refers to foul play specifically at a tackle. Please try count how many of the parts to 10.4(e) that Burger infringed! Oh, wait he infringed all of them...

"10.4(e):
- Dangerous tackling. A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously.
- A player must not tackle (or try to tackle) an opponent above the
line of the shoulders. A tackle around the opponent’s neck or head is dangerous play.
- A ‘stiff-arm tackle’ is dangerous play. A player makes a stiff-arm tackle when using a stiff-arm to strike an opponent.
- A player must not tackle an opponent whose feet are off the ground."

If you're still adamant Burger didn't deserve to be cited please admit you're seeing the game through a green lens..!

And in other news...


I have been touting a 200 point winning margin between the All Blacks and Portugal on Saturday! Many people have scoffed at the idea but think again.

"Rawsonville 100 - Tries: Kat Myburgh (4), Alwyn Hugo (2), Francois Januarie, Johnathan Schalkwyk (3), Ricardo Jones, Whalied Heyens, Johan Botha, Raven Lotter (3). Conversions: Ricardo Jones (10)
Wanderers 0
• Match stopped at half-time"

I know this was at Club Champs and not the RWC but it is possible. 16 tries and 10 conversions before half time. The only thing is Nick Evans is a better kicker than Ricardo Jones so it might be 112 at half time... Oh god...
