Follow the money trail here.

So confident I am that the Boks will make it to finals that I got this, failing which I'm sending the invoice to SA Rugby.

I do think the Irish game they were underestimated as Ireland did not play their strongest team believing they have it in the bag. When Ireland played Scotland both fielded their A group and Ireland thumped Scotland. I'm not much of a should have, could have but the result would have shown if the Irish A squad had run out against the Japanese instead.

Pretty much how I call it, Quarters England win, NZ win, Wales win and SA win. Then NZ win and SA win semis. Sadly then NZ win final.

I believe we have the beating of Japan and then by at least 10 points. Japan have played hard and played well and deserve to be in the quarters. Whatever the Japanese rugby authorities are paying Jamie Joseph is money well spent, but their run will end.

2019 and another well organized, value for money race, which this year included a trail run, held for a good cause with added bonus of wind jacket included in the entry fee and instead of the usual medals they had miniature trophies in shape of cyclist on bike . Took it easy as I was with a group that included novices doing their first long distance so stopped at the WP's which were well stocked with boiled potatoes, bananas, jelly babies, coke and water, picked up some wind coming back but not as bad as previous years. Plenty to eat and drink at the finish, proper toilet facilities with showers.

Sure some were marginal but then the score should have reflected this more so in light of territorial and ball possession advantage. End of day the Boks were outclassed and have work to do.

I read articles similar and of course twitter is ablaze.

Yup, only thing they can look forward to is to improve. more tackles missed than NZ, less defenders beaten than NZ, less ball carries than NZ, less passes than NZ, less off loads than NZ, less clean breaks than NZ and more than double the penalties than NZ. Even with more ball possession and territory we still lost. But lets blame the ref.

SA's version of the American Hillbilly A video showing a group of at least eight people fighting at a house in Brakpan – though some on social media say it’s somewhere else – has surfaced and mostly amused viewers. In the video, seven people can be seen fighting, with two women pulling each other’s hair as another man uses a white pipe-looking object to hit his opponents. The two women who take their fight to the street stop for a moment, before walking back into the yard and joining in with the rest of the group. As the other group gets into their car, a man with a prosthetic leg walks out of the house to join in the fight, though he misses the action and almost loses his balance while trying to kick the car that’s driving away. https://citizen.co.za/news/news-eish/2180844/watch-backyard-brakpan-fight-ends-with-one-legged-man-chasing-a-car/

Perhaps like Allan Hatherly in eBikes we will see the world MXGP champion Tim Gasjer take part in the something similar.

Home ground advantage for you, but we did beat you last time at home.

Currie Cup Inland final. Try scoring fest (11) in the Sharks/Cheetahs game but Cheetahs came out top after been down in the first half.

Weight based category ?

While the seeding does appear odd, the Welsh have won something like 14 of their last 15 games, albeit none played against NZ. The NZ team this weekend appeared to iron out some issues and they will build on from that.

Could do worse than hold it in Argentina, cheaper than Europe, Aus and NZ, food is amazing, they have the stadiums and are passionate about sport so filling the stadiums would not be be a problem.

Some fancy running. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/runners-route-looks-like-art-pictures-2019-8

Not only workers but now senior management who earn between R1.5 and R3 million a year are threatening to strike. With top heavy Eskom grossly poorly managed and in the red , I wonder what "performance" and "incentive" bonus's they feel they entitled to. Eskom senior managers have dragged Eskom to the CCMA demanding the same 4.7% increase that the power utility recently granted to middle management. In spite of the news that Eskom suffered a R20.7 billion loss in the last financial year, Eskom senior managers are hauling the power utility to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) because they received no salary increases and incentive bonuses in the last financial year. According to City Press, this group of managers consists of between 180 and 200 senior Eskom personnel who earn between R1.5 million and R3 million a year. They are demanding the same 4.7% increase that the power utility recently granted to middle management. However, middle management is also not happy with their increase as they were hoping for an increase of 7.5%. According to the publication, the CCMA decided in favour of the workers on a similar matter last year and Eskom had to take the decision on review at the labour court. The power utility’s wage bill has reportedly been a major contributing factor to their financial woes and it is unclear what effect the increases will have on the power utility if they are pushed through https://citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/load-shedding/2163222/looming-eskom-strike-could-result-in-more-load-shedding/
