Mate, wheelchair rugby is a great watch

Really enjoy it when the paralympics comes around. It's a brutal sport too. My wife is an occupational therapist and had one of the NZ players from the last games as a patient when she did a stint in a spinal unit back when he had his injury.

so fucking sick of this

Speaking of rugby, was at the SA vs New Zealand rugby game yesterday afternoon. Such an incredible atmosphere, and a riveting match, which SA won at the very end having trailed by 10.

The All Blavks hate Ellis Park. They say it’s intimidating. The supporters are threatening. True. But I did find it a bit disrespectful that SA fans jeered over the haka and the PA even started playing music over it towards the end. Bizarre

what's wrong with jeering their haka? you're suppose to get the opportunity on the road to do your ritual in peace? fuck that. away grounds aren't suppose to be friendly.

Meatwad Haka is supposed to intimidate the opposition too. Booing seems fair to me.

Claudius

Seemed odd. But the atmosphere was electric throughout. Packed stadium. Was also impressed with logistics. Got on my bus across town right after the game. South Africa chooses when it wants to work.

The view for the next 4-5 days.

invisibleman18

Well unless there's rain i think 5 days is pushing it, possibly not even much of a 4th day. Enjoyable day in the sun. Brook is just a joy to watch. Would have had it honours just about even if Williamson was still in but getting him and then another wicket at the end puts us on top on day 1. Back again in the morning.

Another stunner of a day.

Boom! Fucking test hattrick! What a joy to witness live.

Nice to see Jacob Bethell at the top level , both his dad Graham and uncle Neil played for our local cricket club just around the corner from our city home. Jofra Archer lived close by as well. England have picked up both , they should be playing for the Windies!

Privilege to see a Joe Root century live. Would have kept batting this season with still so much time left but the aim might be to finish this today.

invisibleman18

First time I've seen England win a test live. Been to tests on every tour here since 2002 I think. 2 days of leave to find something to do now! I never expected much of a day 5 with the way the game is played these days but thought we'd make it to day 4.

Last one from the cricket. Made it onto the footage yesterday when Blundell's last 6 went over me and landed about 5 meters behind in an empty spot of grass. Closest I've got to a 6 hit in a test. It wasn't very far to throw it back to Crawley on the boundary but the person still managed to hit a lady at the front (2 people to the left of Crawley in this shot) on the back of the head - she was fine, paramedic was quite close at the time and saw it so checked her out and gave her an ice pack.

Djokovic has retired hurt against Zverev. I watched the first two sets of Djoker vs Alcaraz and Novak was looking amazing even with the injury. We all thought he was foxing afterwards but it seems he was injured after all.

Hope Sinner or Shelton beats Zverev.

Good job Bivol.

Let's do rd 3.

Have just seen the highlights of Australia beating England in the cricket. That was some great hitting from both sides. It's weird seeing our wicketkeeper in the field, but great to see his catching ability. I don't think Australia has the bowlers to win the tournament, but we've got the batters.

What are people thinking about the quietly quietly approach the tennis authorities took to the Swiatek and Sinner cases? More than a little smelly to me.
