CJ Stander retiring

[Green light echo]

Zoom isn't great with small kids. He wants his daughter to spend real time with her grandparents before they depart this mortal coil.

Perhaps he just doesn't want to live in Ireland.

Millions dont.....

[OomStruisbaai]

"Lockdown has been tough on the expat players". Please listen to yourself. He is payed 100s of thousands of dollars to play rugby for fucksake. Being asked to sit quietly on your couch is not fucking hard. No one is shooting at you. You have a roof over your head and food in your belly. Soft,selfish,greedy and dumb. If you werent you would be like the ANZACS.

Leading the world and loving normality.

Right off the the pub for a steak and beer.....

Do you have a Saffer wife?

Please. You and the Northern Hemisphere countries through a collection of corrupt, greedy and inept politicians, allied with a selfish, narcissistic population have imposed these lockdown on yourselves.

On yourselves. And then you all cry about how hard it is like little children. I was bringing some common sense to the equation. However looking at SA and Europe's performance that is a quality sorely lacking in your societies. No wonder so many of you want to escape and live in Oz or NZ.

Thing is we don't want refugees from failed states. We have enough of them already.

Sort your own countries out. You know the one so many of you profess to love but in actuality would trade in a flash if only you could get Permanent Residency in ours.

We are full.

Aren't you called Convicts?

[SaintK]

Oh diddums. Truth hurts hey? Well that is your problem. A lack of self reflection is what has bought your nations to where they are today.

A pitiful record against your rugby superiors. And an absolute criminal disaster re Covid.

Admit the truth.

You really are just a bit shit arent you

I was making a joke at Slick's expense. Perhaps spend a little more time reading, and a lot more time not posting.

Pardon me. I was replying to SaintK.

Thanks, Yes we really must self-reflect some more
Now fuck off and when you've fucked off, you can fuck off some more

[Kawazaki]

This really is poor trolling. So crass. No craft.

[Zapp Bannigan]

This really is poor trolling. So crass. No craft.

And will be no more.

Well done, we don't need dicks like him that contribute zero.

[JM2K6]

Cheers, I shouldn't poke the bear really so can't complain too much, but he really is a very angry and obnoxious oxygen thief who only seems to exist on here to bitterly attack people for their nationality.

[Slick]

You are very odd

You've misspelled gobshite cunt

You forgot a comma

Missed this!

[SaintK]

Well played, though I was able to vent my frustrations that the arse was able to go to a restaurant to eat and drink and we can't yet!!
I have also just calculatedit is now longer since I last had a pint of Guinness before this lockdown than it was in the first lockdown

[Begbie]

That guy is in desperate need of a ride.

[OomStruisbaai]

We tried now some time to push him over the edge.

Irritating doos.

[fishfoodie]

That guy is in desperate need of a ride.

with his, personality, I'm not surprised ...... sheep can be very discriminating in their partners

[Kawazaki]

The troll sought succour
There's a way we do things here
That wasn't it. Twat.

[laurent]

That's a pity he does this quite early.

[Uncle fester]

This really is poor trolling. So crass. No craft.

Coming from you, that's quite the stinger.

[Sinkers]

Had that Aussie twonk on ignore since day 1. Very tiresome.

Back to Stander - I don’t get why Dan Leo’s getting all upset about this.

“Congrats on a great career CJ,” he wrote about Stander on Twitter. “But in my mind, someone getting residency after three years, making a national team and then moving back home as soon as they retire makes a mockery of the game far more than Pacific Island heritage players wanting to turn out after a stand down period.”

Just don’t see the comparison tbh

[OomStruisbaai]

There is a difference between heritage and roots.

CJ and his wife are born and bred South African not heritage South African.

Dan Leo is just vokken stupid.

[OomStruisbaai]

He went to an agri school they usually end up Boere.

If he will play/coach at a lower level it will be bonus for rugby.

[Sinkers]

I was thinking more that what a qualified player chooses to do after retirement has little to do with a player who’s already been capped by one country, wanting to qualify for a 2nd country.

That’s the comparison Leo tweeted about, but I just don’t see the parallel

Leo tends to make tenuous claims that serve his own PI agenda. He's a big voice when it comes to player welfare which is noble but then complains about Stander's career/life plans after he retires from rugby early. Leo essentially wants Samoans who have flogged their guts out for the All Blacks to then flog them out for longer, virtually for free, for Samoa.

Who is Dan Leo?

[Hellraiser]

Not sure if you're a kiwi or an Aussie but either way we annihilated you at the the last world cup so there's that, I suppose.

It's Bazza

[JM2K6]

No chance, Bazza was funny. People do change though, I suppose.

[Uncle fester]

I remember when he made his return to PR and he had a reputation as a decent troll. Didn't take long to overturn that as he was a ferocious bore.

On a similar level to that saffer lad who got put in the sandbox at CPR with the promise that if he said anything vaguely amusing, even once, he'd be let out. Still there AFAIK.

Uncle which Saffer?

[Uncle fester]

Cannot for the life of me remember. Rubberstamp maybe?
Was SOS on PR anyway.

[Fangle]

The Boss?

[Uncle fester]

Ah yeah, that's the guy.

[OomStruisbaai]

Know Rubber , not the others.

Boss is probably Houties multi

[OomStruisbaai]

He retires after the Lions tour?

[Uncle fester]

Yeah, he's leaving the door open for that if picked. No guarantee he will be though.

[Torquemada 1420]

Zoom isn't great with small kids. He wants his daughter to spend real time with her grandparents before they depart this mortal coil.
His wife and kid are back in SA since Xmas.

Well, that's his choice if he decides to merc at the expense of seeing his own children.

Apparently much criticism in Ireland over this particular case of blatant merc-ing?

[Yr Alban]

Classy and dignified statement, IMHO

Aside from clickbait indo headlines and the odd bitter provincial fan?
No, not really.

Watching CJ at the end of the match was very touching. So nice to see someone who has achieved so much be so humble about it. Great way to sign-off.

[Uncle fester]

Hopefully he'll get a lions sign off but not convinced he'll make the squad.
