Nonsense! Cramp is caused by fear, not poor fitness.
That is perfectly correct.

The following are the most common and likely causes of this type of cramping: Muscle Rigidity This symptom is often caused by stress, and anxiety is a stressful experience. When stressed the nervous system can put additional pressure on the blood vessels which contracts the muscles

Ok. Thats an honest response. You sound like you have faced a great fear. You have a very sarcastic vibe going so that shows that you have dealt with it.

I see we stand to make 130 bar besides not having to do anything.
It's a bit unusual to be in this position. Letting others do all the work whilst we sit back doing nothing except take the money from the sweat of their endeavors.

South African work ethic .

Any of our friends across the Indian Ocean still feel that the Springboks' participation in the RC is a good idea?

That's a very flimsy argument right there boet. Surely the people making the policies are smarter than you and will have taken all factors into account.

'We think we've given them ample time to prepare for the tests': RA bitterly disappointed at Springboks' withdrawal

Cash-strapped Rugby Australia remains furious with South Africa for pulling out of the Rugby Championship and admits the Springboks’ no-show will cost it – and all SANZAR’s competing nations – millions of dollars.

South Africa’s governing body only announced last Friday it was withdrawing, just two weeks before the tournament kicks off.

The world champions’ absence has forced SANZAR into reverting to a Tri Nations tournament featuring Australia, New Zealand and Argentina, with the original 12-match competition reduced to six games.

It’s been speculated that South Africa will forego 50 million rand ($A4.3 million) for not fronting up.

“The financial loss for them will be great,” Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan said on Wednesday.

But the Springboks’ scratching will also seriously impact RA’s finances.

Even before COVID-19 struck and wiped out the entire Super Rugby season, forcing RA to lay off more than 40 per cent of its staff and slash players’ wages, the governing body forecast a loss of some $9 million for the 2019-20 financial year.

Leaking more money because of South Africa’s doing is the last thing RA needs.

“It will cost us quite a lot of money but we’ll find a way through it,” McLennan said.

“We were surprised because South Africa did agree to the tournament scheduling.

“So we’re disappointed that they pulled out but we’ll just have to move on.”

McLennan all but ruled out RA seeking compensation from their South African counterparts.

“It is what it is. We’ll just all have to deal with it,” he said.

“We’ll just find a way to deal with it. It’s very tough for all sports in Australia through COVID.

“We’ve proven so far that we’re a pretty resilient organisation and we’ll just make it work.”

South Africa cited “player safety”, having missed months of rugby, as the reason for not coming to Australia, which is hosting the entire tournament.

“Our view’s different to theirs. We think we’ve given them ample time to prepare for the tests. We thought it would be good,” McLennan said.

“We’ve already got the Argentinians out here at the moment, and they’re quite satisfied with how their preparation will go.

“But, to be honest, we’re very disappointed that they’re not turning up.

“They agreed to the tournament so we expected them to turn up. I think it would have been great for their game.

“We hear on the grapevine their players wanted to play.”

McLennan pointed out it will be 20 months between Tests for the Springboks by the time the touring British and Irish Lions arrive in South Africa next year.

How are they trying to manage things? Is each squad meant to be maintaining its own bubble outside of match days?

The knock on effects could get big fast. Presumably the Lions last opponents are isolating now too?

I think that he Stormers players [they played the Lions last week] will be a little nervous, and then the Pumas who played the Stormers on Friday.

Aren't half of the England tournaments players also down with Covid? So not really exclusively an SA thingy.

Like Donald Trump I take no responsibility for this........................................

But really, I think that it just goes to show that SARU were probably right in not participating in the RC. Just imagine if the Lions players spread the virus amongst the rest.............................

There are players suffering from a life threatening illness. I wonder if the Trolls are going to recant?

How often are players/team staff being tested? Reading into this the following quote was interesting.
Earlier this week, four players at the Lions tested positive for the virus and were placed in self-isolation. At the time the union revealed that they were all asymptomatic, but it later transpired that at least two of those players had indeed shown symptoms of the disease, but had already begun recovery.
You would think anything remotely like a symptom would have meant a test and isolation.

It's been done, it take a week in SA to get the result. A week in rugby is a vokken long time.

NZ posters were so defensive about the earth quakes in CC yet they are first in line to trolls us about a life threatening virus.

That’s bullshit. Results are available within 24hours...in the last 2 weeks 4 people I know have had the test (2 positive and 2 negative). All of them got results within 24 hours.

Pro-rugby teams can probably get their results even faster than that.

What a stupid comment. Dishonest and stupid.

Those of us who were posting on the CHCH earthquake thread remember it well. Some posters were demanding that they had the right to make jokes and poke fun of dead and missing CHCH residents because of black humour and Yeeb's 'FHHD' rule. It was gross and shameful. Contrast that to today, and no-one is trolling South Africans who have died of covid-19. Your comment reeks of desperation and frankly makes you human scum. The SARU are liars and cowards and their betrayal of their SANZAAR partners will never, ever be forgotten.
