Side Entry: Not liking the Springboks is one thing, accusing them of cheating is sour grapes

It began with noises from perennial, not to mention sour, underachievers Ireland, where it appears none of the shows they’ve done after the World Cup has concluded without one of their presenters or pundits looking to credit doping for the Springboks winning their third title.

Then the Boks, who for years have had a reputation of being colossal men with a penchant for running out of puff late in matches, started matching the All Blacks and outlasting incredibly well-conditioned teams such as Japan, Wales and England. It is understandable that, in a country obsessed with size in players before skill, doping is the logical consequence if you’re a youngster.

If anyone has been doping the Boks, surely it would have to be Walters? Yet Francis and co have no problem believing that Munster has always been a clean team, but the Boks aren’t.

WATCH: SAHRC maintains it has evidence on EtzebethSpringbok lock Eben Etzebeth is accused of hurling a racial slur at Langebaan residents. I was watching. Advocate seems so confused He never check the evidence. He maintained the issue of statements and witness.we can utilise our state resources for something better than speculations Attention seekers and eNCA again ensuring their place as CNN of the south I hope they didn't pay that so called 'lawyer' much money. If he was representing me I wouldn't be overly confident of him securing any sort of judicial result in my favour.
