The Stonehouse rock in SA rugby's foundation: Mongalo hails 'Coach Jimmy' for new Sharks signing

Diego Appollis. (Photo by Dirk Kotze/Gallo Images) Sharks Currie Cup coach Joey Mongalo has hailed the huge role played by the Pumas and Co in developing players in the South African rugby ecosystem. Diego Appollis, a prodigious midfielder at junior level who has revived his career under Jimmy Stonehouse, was signed this week by the Sharks. Former Baby Bok skipper George Cronje has also used his…

What is the rugby drama 👀

I don’t watch rugby but I love drama 🤩

Dearest anon (and the several others who sent similar asks):

Buckle up for the most hilarious “we are sore losers so we’re creating a racism scandal that never was” drama, as brought to you by the england rugby team

South Africa played England in the semifinal of the rugby world cup on Saturday evening. England were leading the entire game and with ten minutes to play SA was 9 points down, but ended up winning with 1 point.

After the game it comes out that Tom Curry (left), england flanker, approached the ref during the game to complain that Bongi Mbonambi (right) had called him a racial slur. The slur in question? White cunt

Now three things are immediately obvious to anyone with any knowledge about SA:

Cunt simply isnt a word South Africans use. Had he complained about being called a doos or a poes? Yeah fair. But cunt? It just doesnt make any sense for a South African to use cunt as an insult when the word is practically nonexistent in our lexicon

The South African team speaks Afrikaans on the field. You can hear them on the ref mic all the time. They have always done it as a way to communicate without other teams understanding and figuring out their play calls

In rugby, teams on field are referred to by jersey colour, the ref will shout things like “green use it! White stay back. 15 white is offside” etc. and England, the team playing in all white kits are naturally “white” when being referred to on field, and it has nothing to do with their pasty white asses

Now, in Afrikaans, the languages spoken by SA on field, wye kant/wit kant sounds a lot like white cunt in english, but translates as wide side or white side. There is no sound from the moment tommy boy is specifically complaining about, you can only hear him speaking to the ref, nothing from Bongi himself but in several other moments throughout the game you can hear various springbok players saying both wye kant or wit kant depending on the situation

But now, instead of the springboks being able to prepare for the final against New Zealand this weekend, they need to have this ridiculous investigation by world rugby, while every English media outlet has branded our vice captain a racist despite every South African with a soc med account telling them that there is simply no way a South African would insult you using the word cunt and it was obviously Afrikaans referring to the kant/side

So yeah, apparently white cunt is a racist slur, and teams are only allowed to speak english in case one of those sensitive monolingual souls takes offence at what youre discussing in your own language 🙄

Anyway heres the springboks during the previous wc, after winning against the wit kant in the final 🤭

Possessive Sun holding you close but even tighter when someone's talking to you. Possessive Sun ensuring your attention is on him and only him. Obsessive Sun that knows where you are at all times in the Plex because he's hacked the cameras. Obsessive Sun that keeps everything you gift him, safe and sound, in his little room where he can stare at it for hours after closing, feeding his obsession more and more

(I know what you are /j ilu fren)

STOP COMING FOR MY THROAT LIKE THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

FOR SHAME, GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL

Fighting for my life trying to cook in my parents kitchen last night.

Got in a fight when I blocked my mother from putting a can of corn in the butter chicken I had been cooking for 2 hours

[abrahamvanhelsings]

it's unreal that when i have to use a shared desk at the office the first thing i have to do every time is clean months of grime off the mouse and keyboard. like are you people all fucking insane. are you children. do you not know how to clean up after yourselves. do you just eat a hotdog for lunch then put your greasy fingers right back to the keys. jesus fuck.

My venerable, disappointed African ancestors: so you really can't eat spicy food

My Black ass, tearing up through a bomb ass plate of curry goat: I'm sorry, I'm doing my best but it hurt 🥺

[pinktinselmonstrosity]

went to an art exhibition and then to a brilliant bookshop and then had one of the best curries i've ever had in my life and then went home.......... that's basically a perfect day imo idk how it could get much better

[lokh]

so 1 cup of rice isn't enough for me...

[kon-konk]

I've seen so many videos of American tourists going to Japanese cafes (especially themed cafes) and complaining about the price/portion size

And it just straight up baffles me

Like any other place you're paying to go that's not just straight food, you're paying for the experience. It's not really about the food, it's about the design of the food. It's about the cuteness. It's about seeing the theme come to life in front of you.

It's not about eating a full meal. It's about having fun.

i gotta say, a cool $5k in my bank account would be really cool right about now
