What bothers me the most about all this is that both sides are completely oblivious to the most likely scenario here, which is that Tom Curry heard something, interpreted it like something it wasn't, and was sincere in his complaint.
Literally lost in translation. That's the most likely...
I know I've been gone for 8 years, so I have not kept up with the ins and outs of TRF, but SquidgeRugby popped up on my Youtube recommendations in 2019, and my wife (Who's American) has learned so much from his videos and developed an actual interest in the sport. I don't understand what's there...
Sure, but I can name at least 3 instances where South Africa was penalised where they shouldn't have. It's never just a one-way street when it comes to questionable decisions.
Dwindling crowds has been an issue for over a decade in SR. But the watered down competition with the exclusion of South Africa has turned it into a very mediocre product overall now.
That's what they did in Super Rugby. Sacrifice safety and regulation for the sake of entertainment and look how it negatively affected especially New Zealand in this tournament.
