Dixie said:Are you living at the taxpayer's expense, Carl, or just in a dodgy area? We can see reflected in the TV the bars over the windows.
Well, I work for a bank, so you could say I'm living off the taxpayer (although the bank didn't receive a direct government bailout like other competitors did)! Believe it or not, it was sunny today, and it was the blinds reflecting in the TV!
BTW for those wondering, my TV is a Samsung 3D jobby, just the ticket for watching 2 props fighting (a la Harlequins v Tigers).
Sent an email to SA refs, will wait for a response:
Hi, whilst watching the Hurricanes v Bulls match on Saturday, I noticed that the Hurricane no 3 was wearing boots with a single stud on the toe. I thought that to have a single stud on the toe of the boot is illegal (law 4.4 (i). Surely this should have been spotted during the pre-match stud check?
As an aside, do elite referees (or their ARs) check the players studs and clothing before a match, as is the norm in grassroots rugby in England?
