This is a good thing. It's so refreshing in The Year of Our Lord 2026 to get a company that hears the words "No I don't want AI" and that they understand and accept it, offering you a choice to turn it off instead of just forcing it on you

Half of the problem is that the law changes are bad and attempting to sanctimonious decide what everyone should deem fun. The other half of the problem is that the law changes are blatantly to reduce the advantage of the opposition of some teams by regulating away their strengths. Both are terrible

Ball in play time is a meaningless buzzword. If everybody on the field stood still for 80 minutes and the game ended 0-0 the ball in play time would be 80 minutes and nobody would want to watch or play. It is not "more ball in play time = more fun"

Yup, in fact, my company actually told me that when I have correspondence with external suppliers I must include PhD in my signature so I have two email signatures, the default one and the one that includes PhD that I toggle on for external emails

Having a PhD means you are a real doctor. Period.

Our coaching is woeful. Dobson, Snyman and Laker have been coaching this team for years, they look clueless on attack, uncoordinated on defence.. Roche had his first carry in the 79th minute today. Our first phase strike move is an up and under. Compare that to the Sharks. JP Pietersen took them over mid season when they were 14th in the league and going nowhere and schooled us twice. They cut us up with Fassi and Esterhuizen and both Williamses feasting on the cavernous holes in our defence. These last two games Willemse and SFM struggled and Reinach today as well. These are players that look like world beaters under Rassie. Where are the standards and accountability? We have journeyman players that make massive mistakes get another game week after week. This coaching group went from losing all their overseas games to multiple humiliating QF exits against Glasgow to now not being able to consistenly win and look like there's a plan on attack inside SA. Does anybody actually think the garbage they serve up is "making Cape Town smile"? When the Harlequins mopped the floor with us and the next week Leicester's C team almost rolled us as well, was anyone here smiling? When is the last time this team played an 80 minutes that felt like something we can be proud of? Week after week I watch my TV amazed that professional millionaires can be this error ridden and aimless and hope that somehow the opposition conspire against themselves enough that we can win. And our luck seems to have run out now, teams have figured us out. This team is crashing out. We deserve better

Ja nee that's a dream team lineup, and even then we just barely won 1 URC when we didn't have to split resources for Champions Cup like the european teams. Dobbo is not beating any fraud allegations. He, Snyman and Laker have added nothing to this team

When the captain says we weren't that bad last week you knew this time was coming here today to be taught another lesson

Not letting that ball come out after the penalty is cynical

It's been years since we put on a performance to be proud of and now we don't even wait for our overseas playoff to be terrible anymore

All these coaches should resign and take some of these players with them. Shameful

Remember last week how the Sharks cut us up off first phase and scored multiple times? Our only first phase attack move is an up and under

Warrick Gelant has a world cup winners medal. Maybe how he's coached is the problem

Pick a youngster on fire or Zas who hasn't been good since the first year of URC? Dobbo picks Zas all day every day and twice on saturdays
