Rugby Union

Springboks Justice 4

The South African Rugby Union has stated that it would back its decision that allowed the players to wear white armbands to protest against giant lock Bakkies Botha suspension for a shoulder into the ruck.

Australian fly-half Matt Giteau has come out in support of the Boks decision. Giteau told reporters ‘’ The boks are a physical side and I back the decision to stand firm, I personally like to use the strong arm of the law to get my point across’’

Springbok coach Pieter De Villers once again threw his support behind his players by saying ‘’ Rugby is a game of brutality and skill, out on the field its war, but ag after the game it’s ok, the powers that be must not ban the physicality in the game, or else we might get our first gay player’’

In other news former wallaby wing Clyde Rathbone has retired from international rugby.
