As Johann Rupert flies in lawyers on his Boeing Business jet
[permalink]

God I love this country! Springbok powerhouse Schalk Burger gets cited for dangerous play and Johann Rupert, who is essentially a private citizen, sends in his private jet (the Boeing BBJ) with enough legal clout on board to free Dina Rodriguez.

And it worked! Fuck it's funny! A very possible entire-tournament-ban could have been on the cards. There was a hearing and the four-match ban verdict was appealed, resulting in a gentle two-match ban.

It's HILARIOUS! I love it!

Say what you want about Johann Rupert - he saved the day and it he did it in style. He's definitely got the 2 Oceans Vibe and doesn't mind following through on things that he is passionate about. I assure you it wasn't about showing off, it was about getting the job done. Time was a factor and the nation's rugby team needed help. He just happens to have the toys that make it easier. It's quicker on a jet and, because of the layout and features in the Boeing BBJ they were able to work on the case en route - saving even more time!

Beautiful! I'm FINE with that!

The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ)
When you simply REFUSE to fuck around

So THAT happened last week....and then we put England over our knee on the weekend which resulted in a surprising, humbled phone call from The UK Showbiz Guy, who wished to show how "gracious in defeat" he was. Very impressive, mate.

And NOW I read that Paris is in love with the Boks!

It feels good and I gotta say it, I'm THOROUGHLY enjoying the Springboks at the moment. They're loads of fun! And I see The Loose Forward has a little diary going on the Castle Lager website in the form of Bobby Skinstad's World Cup diary. CHRIST, IT'S ALL HAPPENING!

So whilst we're on the subject of all things rugger, I have decided to use this pic I have had for quite some time of Butch James flying through the air like some sort of a bird of prey. I've had this pic for a while because I wanted to do an article ages ago congratulating Butch for the perfect TV dive. He is in the air parallel to the ground with the ball perfectly under his left arm. His right arm is extended directly in front of him, with the CLASSIC pointed finger aimed at the crowd. His head is lifted and he is looking at them, taking it all in.

Do you know how difficult it is to get that all right? Try it now. At your desk. Right now. Pretend you're holding a ball under your arm and lift your head so you're looking at the ceiling. Now extend your right arm up and point your finger at the ceiling. Now imagine doing that lying-down going FORWARDS in the fucking AIR! It looks easy, but it's not - Butch is a professional and I very much doubt you should even consider trying this at home.

James gets full marks

 
Nice, Butch.


Very nice.
