A screw it, go everything the wrong way around in that last one.

Ok the thing about Masaga is that yes he's fast, but from watching him this year I've found out the following;
His workrate is very low. On defence he plays more of a kicking defence, very rarely is he up in the line and he almost never gets involved in rucks - which is an area where if wings were trainedto steal pill there'd be a shitload more turnovers (and the game would be a LOT faster still)
He is weak under kicks. While he's not Gopperthesque, he'll either leave it for Mils or misjudge it.
When he's running he's electric, but lacks vision. He'll treat each tackle one at a time (and he always steps left!) which is why on tge set piece he very rarely makes line breaks.
Finally, for a modern wing he's very small.

Bowling is also not without controversy.
I live with three people who have at one stage worked at The Lanes, and Joe used to just bowl on his breaks. He does this freaky thing where he holds the ball backwards and just kinda... Flicks his wrist and it does this weird backspin thing and takes out all the pins.
Playing against him has made me lose most of my enthusiasm for bowling. #Timesmycompetitivenaturehasruinedmyenjoymentofanactivitynumber25
You forgot the cheerleaders Hadyn! The cheerleaders!

Speaking of dropkicks, the Herald actually proved useful for once

I t has to be said that the quality of the South African #8's is scary.
I'm even more scared to learn that they've only just started to build more academies in the republic, after seeing our one in Palmy.

I really, really, really support having 3-point drop goals in rugby.
Aren't team sports about utilising the best players? Why make all of LeBron's points be worth 1/2? How about adding an extra 500kg to Loeb's car? Make Nadal/Federer play with an eye patch? Give Tiger a putter for every shot?
The fact is is that Morne Steyn is a freak. He's nailed a 60 metre drop goal in the warmup at the caketin before. But why does this mean that we should go along and change the rules as soon as the Bulls have an edge over other teams? [Oh, wait, rugby+rule changes are hand in hand...]
It is possible to defend against a drop goal, it's just not common.
