Surely not asleep, Gob?

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

Wales ended their autumn international series with a comfortable win over disorganised South Africa at the Principality Stadium.

Hooker Ken Owens' try from a lineout rumble in the 44th-minute opened a 14-point gap before Springbok flanker Uzair Cassiem hit back.

Justin Tipuric's try clinched only a third-ever win over the Springboks.

The defeat means South Africa have lost eight times in a calendar year for the first time in their history.
All is not well here in the land of the advantaged and the formerly-disadvantaged.

Missed that, was watching Aus beat them at cricket!

What the hell is up with Hashim Amla this tour? he's played dreadfully?

He was worried that Loyiso Gola's absence in the USA meant another defection, like Trevor Noah?

He's following the Springboks example?

He's afraid this Gupta business will cause SA's credit rating to be lowered?

Hooker Ken Owens
Did they really need to bring up the guy's off-season job?

I'm pretty sure it's rugby. Here's the clue:
in the 44th-minute opened a 14-point gap
There's never a 14 point gap in soccer, and given the bizarre way they "score" in cricket (The Great Cricket Paradox: Astronomical Scores Are Achieved In A Game Where Almost Nothing Ever Happens) one team would probably be up by at least 50 points once they were at the 44 minute mark...

Even I can tell it's rugby.  No other major sport has a player-position known as a 'hooker'.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
