  1. Djokovic down two sets to love in his fourth-round match at the French open. Opponent ranked 22. 6:05 AM Jun 3rd via web
  2. @SuperSabin Cool, just remind me closer to the time! 4:18 AM Jun 3rd via web in reply to SuperSabin
  3. Having read the hack job on Mark Keohane in City Press and Rapport today I now understand why the ANC wants a media tribunal. 11:57 PM Jun 2nd via web
  4. @ruckingoodstats It's an even bigger issue when that player is black. 1:02 PM Jun 2nd via web in reply to ruckingoodstats
  5. I would have picked Kolisi, De Jongh and Aplon but Meyer has his reasons for not picking them. Hope they are part of Rugby Championship. 12:56 PM Jun 2nd via web
  6. @lyndonjulius It is to some people. 12:54 PM Jun 2nd via web in reply to lyndonjulius
  7. Those calling for PdV to come back should remember that he picked just three players of colour for the World Cup quarter-final. 12:44 PM Jun 2nd via web
  8. @lukefobian Grant's kicking out of hand isn't great and he sometimes battles to get his backline away. 12:41 PM Jun 2nd via web in reply to lukefobian
  9. @JPNaude How many black players did PdV start in the World Cup quarter-final last year? 12:39 PM Jun 2nd via web in reply to JPNaude
  10. @lukefobian I'd also pick Jantjies ahead of Grant. 12:31 PM Jun 2nd via web in reply to lukefobian
  11. Safe to say that the big talking point regarding Bok squad will be Kolisi's omission. Should have been there. 12:20 PM Jun 2nd via web
  12. @SaffaZimbo Can't think of anyone. 12:05 PM Jun 2nd via web in reply to SaffaZimbo
  13. Stormers showing once again that defence wins matches. Habana and Kolisi were superb. 11:58 AM Jun 2nd via web
  14. Bulls turn down three points from a penalty yet go for a drop goal. Doesn't make sense to me. Take the three points and get eight in front. 11:37 AM Jun 2nd via web
  15. @djvanman @mark_keohane @LionsRugbyUnion @RugbyBanterSite We'll find out next year. 10:47 AM Jun 2nd via web in reply to djvanman
  16. 130 people on SuperBru (out of 153,979) predicted a Lions win by 10. They must have been taking the piss! 10:38 AM Jun 2nd via web
