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 🤭

whenever the mavs and warriors play each other this year (which is twice so far) its got this super angsty feel between steph, draymond, klay and even kyrie (who seems to understand why its so angsty) and then luka is just 😄 happy to be there and scores like 30+ points

The South Africa Beef Update

Who is South Africa Currently Fighting

South Africa constantly has beef with some rando online so I'm publishing an updated list

- farm murders girl: don't remember her name but she came here for like 2 weeks and then posted a video on our crime rates but her whole thing was racist propaganda she fell for

- Simone: (ONGOING) made videos about how we can't call Tyra coloured because that's a racial slur in America.... even though we aren't America, she won't back down

- shxts n gigs podcast: called a local south african language 'gibberish'

- Kieran: (ONGOING) I think thats his name, but yeah british dude who's whole account is insulting the south african rugby team... and then we finished them in the semi final (🖕🏻ha!)

- Tom Curry: (CURRENT) accused our rugby captain of calling him a racial slur (white c*nt) but he was actually saying something else in Afrikaans. I've never actually heard a South African use that word lol

[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
