I just realised something. We shouldn't let Boks play their 100th Test against the All Blacks John Smit, Jean de Villiers, Percy Montgomery and now Damian de Allende - all defeats! #RSAvNZL #RGR

If there's one law change I'd make is to have a free kick instead of a scrum when play is stopped for an injured player or if the referee was in the way as a reset. Or at least give the team going forward the option for one of the two.

Moods are down in press conferences when a team lost, but today was something else. The Stormers losing uncle Chippie was more than just rugby. The sombre mood in today's presser by John Dobson, Deon Fourie and the journalists in attendance is testament to the great man he was 💔

We are all so sad today. Chippie was such a mix of hard but kind. He was “get it done on time” and “I’ve got time for you as well.” Early riser with times, places, weights, names, tickets, shelter, transport + food options fixed + ready. In PE this year, I asked if he’d had time to read the paper. “All of them. Every day. No idea why.” He was so helpful to my wife when she was ill. Pure gent + unparalleled rugby man. RIP Chippie Solomon, you strong and gracious man. My heart goes out to your family, both blood + wider WP community. 💙🤍💙
