Watch Dan Biggar pretending he's about ready to go to the ICU after a bump from Bongi at minute 8:04. Faf went over to tell him. Connor Murray milking the Cheslin Kolbe contact as well.

And watch Itoje at minute 11:16 - after kneeling on DDA he goes for the Oscar. Hilarious seeing this after the pompous outrage towards Tizzano.

Itjoe was leaning on DDA for nothing and in the end where Itoje legs were grabbed, he flung himself to the ground:)


English, Welsh, Scotties are real good actors when it comes to faking injury. Check Duhan vd Merwe,s Trip on Kolbe!

Technically he was born here yes, but he has Scottie residency now and he put that Scottie jersey on, so now he is Scottie, the enemy:)


There is rumours going around Duhan might be coming back to SA don’t know if that is true though.


When he is back here, living here, playing Rugby here, then slowly but surely he will become South African again…..case closed Becs:)

Well I feel differently about it…. Even if he was born here yes and his surname is Vd Merwe, his life with his wife is in Scotland now…..Duuuh yourself

Don’t you get it, yes a South African he is, but his full on life is in Scotland now that also makes him a Scottie. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Oh I get it.

I just don’t agree with it !

I’m English, no matter where I go and live.

He failed in South Africa so he took the opportunity to become something he is not; Scottish.


Saffolk took residency here…..he’s never going to say he’s English or British.

I get what you saying Becs he is South African. When I lived and worked in Germany, it changed my life in many ways and partly made me a German.


But ok deep down you stay the person where you were born.
