The ‘match-fixing’ question put to Springboks boss Jacques Nienaber

Jacques was most certainly not “horrified”, his answer was sarcastic (“I hope not” & “Wouldn’t you agree”), given the ridiculousness of the question.

I think it's disrespectful to Ireland and Scotland to suggest that they would effectively cheat to eliminate South Africa. They're almost certainly more worried about themselves at this stage than South Africa.

Geez, little girl. Your childish, pathetic bleats just serve to confirm what a complete rugby dunce you are (but heywood all knew that already). Tell us, little one, why does getting owned and schooled and shown up as an irrelevant litykevtwerp get you so upset? You must be used to it by now. Try harder, jump higher, loser.

Lol, Nigel you are a special kind of stupid. A league of your own. Geez there's no medication that would cure your stupidity. You accuse me of cherry picking, but you can refer to only one result of 53 - 3. Cherry picking at its very best. Go figure. Head-to-head, SA is well clear of ENG, in respect of wins 27 to 16. SA has beaten ENG 12 times out of 24 test matches in your own backyard (50% success rate), whereas ENG only has a 25% success rate in SA (4 wins from 16 test matches). Instead of engaging in healthy and non-offensive debates, anyone who does not agree with your views are either dumb, stupid, little girls, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on. Grow up meneer.

This was quite a ridiculous question to ask the coach. If two teams decide the outcome of a game before kickoff, then it is fixed, I can't see Ireland willingly give up their winning streak because they are on their way to set a new world record with their current winning streak.

You elected to cherry pick history and ended up getting owned and schooled with egg on your face. Gee, but you are one dumb little kid.

Still no half century hiding, dumb saffa loser. Duh. Go and bleat on your Barbie and Twinkie sites instead of making an even bigger c*nt of yourself here than you already have. Off you go now, there's a good little girl.

Lol, and then on 26 May 2007, SA smashed ENG 58 - 10 and one week later on 2 June 2007 55 - 22. Then on 14 September 2007, the score was 36 - 0. Two cricket scores in there lol

If you want to talk history remind me of how mommy had to hold you tight when we gave you a 53 - 3 hiding and then anialated all 8 attempts of the little bokkies when they tried to get physical. That was hilarious. Cricket score hiding of note and then pummeled into submission. A classic.

Imagine having a job that only paid out when articles written needed a certain numbers of hits!!! Yes boys and girls, welcome to the world of online journalism, and these dickheads will write and conjure absolutely anything to make a buck and turn us all into frenzied pundits abusing each other’s intelligence. Fuck em.

OK, my bad, little girl. Still, enjoy going through my posts with a grown up, you'll learn a lot. Off you go now, there's a good little girl.

Would absolutely love the situation where all the real rugger guys are sitting in a pub chatting rugby, and Nigel walks in and realizes that all the people he has trash talked about for the last few weeks are sitting there. Can just imagine his bravery then. 😂

Rugbys clean, hahahaha wow

It is not possible in any circumstance for SA not to go through. Do the maths whichever way you wish

If

This is the most ridiculous question ever asked, next the conspiracy theorists are gonna conclude Nic Berry should get this match to ensure payback for that awful video from Rassie, who’s the match official ? Oh wait it’s Nic Berry 😂😂 I can see the articles

After sweating blood to avoid France Ireland would throw that all away in a conspiracy involving all 66 Scots/Irish players and coaching staff......

What publication does this moron write for?

To kick SA out would require Ireland to conspire to come second in the pool. Why would they do that?

Here's the maths guys. If Ireland score 4 tries with no conversion = 20 points, then Scotland have to Score eight tries with at least one conversion to get the greater than 20 points difference.

So minimum score line of IRE 20 - 42 Scotland.

Now, you try and remember the last time a team scored 6 or more tries against Ireland...

RWC 2019 quarterfinal NZ scored 6 against Ireland.

So this is very unlikely, and would end up with a lot of questions to both teams if it happens.

I don't think Sexton would let up the chance for Ireland to have a possibility of 19 Wins on the trot.... if Ireland wins the RWC..
