I don’t want to be seen as sticking up for Mr McKeever, but beyond the nitpicking, I agree with the point that the brand SA RUGBY on the back of brand South Africa, is circling the drain pipe.

The people I looked by to in rugby and now dearly departed, would turn in their graves if you explained the gulf between brand South Africa and brand New Zealand.

After all it’s their sweat and blood that’s in the foundations of the rugby product being milked by the current blood-suckers.

And they weren’t half as ’smart’ as Mr McKeever.

I’ll quote you here McKeever, “GATE RECEIPTS from the Wembley match alone, against Saracens last night, were more than £5 million to Saracens. On the other hand, SA Rugby, for their efforts, walked away with less than 5% of this…” - AMAZING. You must have been in Julius Malema’s maths class!?

Making up numbers AGAIN are we Tony??

I thought we had discussed and unanimously agreed that you are NOT capable of doing sums AND that you lack basic logical comprehension. Among all your faults then I guess we now need to add that you suffer from short term memory loss too.

I think it’s time we petition for your posts to contain a disclaimer. Or a health warning. Or one of those pictures from a pack of smokes, except with a melted brain. Or no brain at all.

SLIDER - While you are at it - do add in the not insignificant Exclusive Broadcast rights fees, as well as the advertising revenues received from the likes of Investec, Klipdrift et al and you have overshot the number I tabled and your guesstimate by quite a significant margin.
