The year is coming to a close and what a year it was filled with Rugby World Cup glory, Grand Slams, Champions Cup wins and much more.
Before the 2023 signs off Planet Rugby takes a closer look at the numbers that powered another blockbuster year of rugby union. blockbuster year of rugby union.
130,000 – An impressive new beer consumption record as fans got stuck in during the pool game between Ireland and South Africa.
49 – The number of tackles unsung hero Franco Mostert made in the knockouts for South Africa, he did not miss one during that period.
Mostert is the Pollard of tacklers….they never miss.
Over the same games, Dud Toit was 55 and 8. But he played 240 minutes vs Mostert’s 177. Multiply Mostert’s 49 tackles by 240/177 and you get 67 tackles.
More tackles per minute…no missed tackles. Mostert was clearly the tackler of the knockouts.
Dave poor Mozz has difficulty distinguishing between quality and quantity.
Ask yourself. Who would you prefer to be tackled by Mostert of Du Toit.
Case closed.
The record number of viewers are largely a consequence of the heroic efforts of Rassie's Boks.
Boks were involved in riveting matches. Some say the match against France was the FINEST RWC match ever played.
But of course Mozzz and Doos had to trash it all. What a hapless duo they made.
Eluckmus …is about as riveting as the next 50 lb overweight blowhard. The good news is the globalist drug industry is bringing a solution….a weight reduction drug that works. Mozzz is already well positioned.
How about scoring just one measly try when you are a man up. As for Eluckmus’ country boy act, sorry, I’ve just seen it too many times before to find it entertaining.
Yes ooze is a good descriptive word for Eluckmus.
...now fat-shaming a man who had serious health issues only a few years back...classy...those mynhoop rockspiders sure did a job on you...
Flesh is the operative word…all these subliminal perceptions are coloring your vocabulary Dave.
Draad I’m sure his weight has something to do with his father’s issues, probably something to do with his suffering while making others suffer. Snake oil alert.
Not sure exactly…but I am sure he was a victim.
Hold on….we have this from January 2021, commenting on a bout of Covid :
The only things that’s left now are headaches and – with my fat body – a really low heart rate for some reason. I’m averaging between 48 and 55 [beats per minute], which I definitely shouldn’t be, considering how fat I am currently,’ he added with a wry smile.
He’s not, but so what if he is? He just admitted he was a porker.
Mozzz continues to shrink as a person with all his fanatical hatred of Rassie.
Will he ever recover from the way Rassie has runned his long Crooked snout in the dung!.
The loon is beside himself!!
Dave wee mozzue is incredibly peeved because Rassie winning a second Rugby Workd Cup has made a complete jackass of him.
His ego has, suffered a huge blow and he is fuming inside.
I wonder if Plum is getting it yet?
There are plenty of video featuring Rassie on You Tube. Rassie might be fat when he compares himself to his best weight in his playing days but he doesn't look fat. But as you say what does it matter concerning Rassie as a coach.
You believe everything else he says….believe him when he says he is fat.
Rassie said this after getting COVID:
‘The only things that’s left now are headaches and – with my fat body – a really low heart rate for some reason. I’m averaging between 48 and 55 [beats per minute], which I definitely shouldn’t be, considering how fat I am currently,’ he added with a wry smile.
"....considering how fat I am currently,’ he added with a wry smile."
He looked a bit over his normal weight at some stage 2019is...he had health issues back then...haven't really noticed him being particularly "big" of late...
What some people concider to be fat, others would regard slim...a bit of perspective...a former Springbok would probably consider anything slightly heavier than optimum weight as fat...but that's beside the issue, you're playing the man again...
No you are looking for excuses again….top coach owe their players the courtesy of a bit of self discipline on their part, given they are demanding that of their players.
...context isn't necessarily an excuse...we don't have all the facts, but it looks like his players would walk through fire for him...he seems to be a good motivator, however corny he comes accross at times...the disco lights still baffles some...bizarre.
COVID was in 2020, that excerpt was from 2021, for crying out loud. Keep pitching Dave and I’ll keep knocking them out the park.
