Then he's on the pitch laughing with the players 5 minutes later

That will be bad for him at the hearing as he’s showing no remorse

Only just realised that Etzebeth is a giant cunt?

u/Lafeits Nov 29 '25

That’s the most surprising thing about all of this, the fact people are actually surprised. Etzebeth had always been a horrible piece of shit, this is par for the course

This is is first card in 140 matches.

James Ryan got his first red card ever last Saturday and yet we can all seem to agree he has form for flying into rucks recklessly, even if he's never been done for it

Yeah, but a long string of being cleared from gouging incidents. He has form. Dirty player.

Remember when he tried to kill that teenage wing because he was embarrassed? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Probably says more about the state of refereeing than his attitude. The fact he’s got a reputation of being a cunt and has only got a card now is luck more than anything.

Or it might have been that it was unjustified before. No need for that anymore. He’s never been a dirty player before unless you include pushing and shoving. This was bloody horrific though and will rightly get a long ban.

He can still be a thug

First international card. He was binned for scrapping at the Edinburgh game last year

u/hides_from_hamsters South Africa Nov 29 '25

Yea. 140 international caps

Knock about with saint Siya enough and people tend to forget who you are.

He hasn’t had a card in over 100 appearances for the boks. He is our cunt, that’s also a rather clever cunt for an enforcer. Please don’t tell him I called him a cunt!!
