LOL


Seagulls and their droppings are being blamed for South Africa's remarkable defeat to Japan in the World Cup.

The Times has claimed that "team officials are reportedly furious that their training...has been disrupted by up to 100 seagulls and their seagull, shall we say, by-product."

The Springboks are training at Eastbourne College, a posh private school in Sussex. The head groundsman Richard Maryan said he had to hire a Harris hawk named George to scare away the gulls.

"We had more than 100 gulls on the pitch after we had cut the grass and they were making an horrendous mess," said Maryan, who grooms the ground by cutting the grass three times a week.

The paper said South African fans were using the seagull issue as an excuse for the loss to Japan, one of the biggest shocks in World Cup and sports history.

Yes, I read the article and there's no mention at all regarding an actual complaint from the Springbok camp, but rather the groundsman and head master have voiced an opinion.The Japs sent in their Kamakazi Suzuki Seagulls to destroy the Boks.

 Hi 3ku1, wasn't so long ago that Mozart, Beeno, et. al were saying soggy fields would be the undoing of the ABs. That we could only play on a fast pitch & the NH fields, lol
The plan to use worms back-fired as it resulted in a seagull invasion Here is the thread from December 2013. Here is a link to the "theory of soggy grounds Release the worms

Recent reports revealed that several Sarugby.com posters are in a mad race to get to NZ to recover their sanity & to enhance their rugby knowledge but how much can this mighty nation endure?

There are national concerns about the impact the beefy boks fans will have on the food supply in NZ as these fans are known to eat any full sized animal that moves.

Not to worry - your food chain is not in danger as yet - and we believe we have the NZ rugby situation being developed into a second rated sport in the world.    


Wait for next year - the fear frenzy will hit you in earnest

    News update: Bok Migrant undermining NZ rugby?


    In a bizarre twist a Bok supporter, Mr Beeno It's_the Refs_fault, who recently settled in NZ to undergo "reality therapy & to get rugby enlightenment" has now confessed that he hatched "a plot to undermine NZ rugby".


    Inspector Wardad explained that Beeno started a small worm farm & while this was a little strange it was seen as a constructive undertaking at the time. 


    He added that it was only when Beeno was appointed as junior grounds keeper at Eden Park & unleashed 1000s of worms to "soften the fields" that we realized it was a diabolical Guy Fawkes like plot. It was also revealed that Beeno had not been keeping his appointments with Dr Cloudy so his link with reality is very tenuous. 


    Detective Susuke San was the one to figure it all out said Wardad. He concluded, "Don't worry, I will make sure this fella will get his comeuppance".

     Bwahahaha good one J-W .I hear his worms all developed Stockholme syndrome and refused to leave his side when he left to see Engerland for himself .Dumping them in a nearby schoolyard [ he had already bonded with them it seems]  while gazing in awe at the Boks training ground he had unwittingly sabotaged his beloved boks .It seems the local sea-gull population found beaner-worms as tasty as a half full packet of crisps dipped in fish gizzards .

    DB: glad Boks fans were good sports. It was a tough loss but you had to admire the planning, determination & execution of the Japanese.
    Wardad: maybe we can provoke a response from Beeno, so far n ot luck on that score.

     Bollocks article.
    Sensationalism at its best!

    No one in the Bok management team made any mention of the gulls.
