Very true. Its about real rugby culture after taking a loss.

In South Africa we take that kind of behavior very serious, murder threats is part of day to day life.

Do you agree with Sexton behavior after losing against the All Blacks? Real rugby culture is to fight a war on the field but having a beer after the end whistle go.

The French whinging just doesn't end.

Terrible example to their youth. The Irish were not half as bad as this.

Geez.....Eben is coming under all kinds of attacks.........besides obviously the Reinach threats

Terrible Terrible state of affairs

It’ll make the stronger and more galvanised as group.

Circle the wagons lads. You’re in even my territory for 1 more days!

(Obviously a bit more concerning for Bok players based in France who have to go back home after the tournament, like the Reinach family)

I think the players deal with it all just fine. A few immediate post match emotional comments notwithstanding, there always seems to follow photos of them all having a beer and moving on.

some supporters on the other hand...

I watch both sports. I would say rugby has got worse and football much better so the gap isnt really there anymore just that football is watched by far more people so with the same proportion of dickheads you will have more people being dickheads. Such threats aren't new and aren't purely NH.

we are a rich country too many dogs

I never played barefeet on a rugby ground.
Its actually safer . Kids play barefoot in SA until u13 level. Only the Souties play with toks.
Not a single club in france would do that (I am 54 and we played in boots when I was U10 and my little bro U8)

Finally we're seeing the extended highlights.

First time I've watched this back since the live match.

We were so good. So, so good.

Thanks for that AF. Great watch. We won the WC in that quarter final.
