Just to put it into perspective @RuaidhriOC did claim a conspiracy between @RassieRugby and @jacnienaber and claimed they were taking the IRFU for a ride. Which is fine for pub talk, but when you are supposed to be a "journalist" with "ethical standards" it becomes murky.
'People don't value me here' Jacques Nienaber came to yesterday's press briefing at Leinster with plenty to get off his chest as he floated the idea he could leave at the end of the season and argued his case against some of my criticism in particular Below is the exchange 🔽

This is a wild take. Suggesting they send the best defence coach in the world on gardening leave and blaming him for the attack issues Leinster have had (despite Leinster attack coach turnover) is just wild. And all that because Jacques said "we will see what happens" in 2 years?

A friend of mine once said the Sharks are an incredibly tough team to coach due to their unique team culture. Part of their issues probably related to contrast between the ultraprofessionals & slightly more laidback entrenched culture. There was Jimmy Stonehouse noises, but...

Since rugby is a professional sport which is about money.... count the amount of rugby players on this list and then scoff again. 50mm.sportspro.com/
🤣 Does anyone in rugby actually believe this?

A decade ago THAT great All Black team was a team where you had to be at least 10 ahead going into the final 20 to have a chance of beating them. The Boks are now that team.

Do energy drinks offer any additional benefit above caffeine alone?🥤 This new study investigated the effects of a commercially-available energy drink vs a caffeine matched control drink (both 200mg caffeine) on… 👁️ Attention 🧠 Mood 💪 Handgrip strength 🆙 Push-up performance …in exercise-trained individuals🏋️‍♂️ Results showed there were no statistically significant differences between the drinks for any measure ❌ These results suggest that the additional ingredients in this energy drink is unlikely to offer any substantial benefit above caffeine ☕️
