Horror year continues for RG Snyman with injury against Scarlets

RG Snyman's annus horribilis is set to continue as the Springbok and Munster lock limped off the field against Scarlets on Sunday.

PSdT wont play this year. Its much easier now with our franchises and players playing up north to replace injured players. From today it will also easy to fly in/fly out between UK/SA. Same time zone.

You'd think that after 14 years Wayne Barnes being appointed to ref AB v France wouldn't cause a regurgitation of what happened that day in Cardiff but you'd be dead wrong. I actually thought he retired after RWC 2019 & was a full time barrister these days.

I think Barnes is a bloody good ref actually, perhaps at times a little like a school teacher, but pretty good ref.

He probably WAS retired. Then got the call from the IRB.....

"Wayne-o, how'd you like to come out of retirement for one afternoon just to ref the AB's v France? Maybe you could reprise your legendary kiwi arsefucking of 07, just to bury the hatchet.............. right in the kiwi cnuts backs."
"What's in it for me?"
"Legendary alltime status as the most hated person who ever lived to an entire nation of sad pillocks".
"Bitch, what time is kick off?"

The 2021 AB captaincy revolving door comes full circle:

All Blacks vs USA: Sam Whitelock returns as captain for northern tour

The 127-test veteran's experience couldn't be ignored and he has replaced Ardie Savea as skipper.

Sorry was across the injuries - I meant non-selected. Dan Du Preez doesn't seem to be highly rated does he

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

All Blacks: Damian McKenzie, Will Jordan, Braydon Ennor, Quinn Tupaea, George Bridge, Richie Mo’unga, Finlay Christie, Hoskins Sotutu, Dalton Papalii, Luke Jacobson, Tupou Vaa’i, Sam Whitelock (captain), Angus Ta’avao, Asafo Aumua, Ethan de Groot: Reserves: Dane Coles, George Bower, Tyrel Lomax, Josh Lord, Sam Cane, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Anton Lienert-Brown.

He probably WAS retired. Then got the call from the IRB.....

"Wayne-o, how'd you like to come out of retirement for one afternoon just to ref the AB's v France? Maybe you could reprise your legendary kiwi arsefucking of 07, just to bury the hatchet.............. right in the kiwi cnuts backs."
"What's in it for me?"
"Legendary alltime status as the most hated person who ever lived to an entire nation of sad pillocks".
"Bitch, what time is kick off?"

"For the usual fee, plus expenses which now include an integrated, 360-degree & Richie McDeath-proof air defence system"

 

[Bandar]

After 12 minutes, this USA NZ match is like watching an unopposed training run19-0 no make that 24-0. I’m surprised how excited the kiwi commentators are

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ USA's UK- & Euro-based players have gone back to their Clubs so this is essentially a MLR XV. Was always going to be a flogging but this is getting embarrassing. AB should empty the bench at HT.

 

[Bandar]

USA were always going to cop a flogging. If they can’t have their best players why play?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Similar reason as why Wales are playing next week without their Eng-based players. Money talks.

USA get their first-ever try v AB, 59-7 at oranges.
