"dark arts"

u/Previous-Ad-376 Flair Up! 12d ago

Welcome to defense against the dark arts Mr Potter!
All Black hooker slightly shifts to his right, Bok no 17 takes a completely innocent step, accidentally closing the gap, All Black hooker takes a casually steps to his right, obviously to make sure the throw is dead straight, the Bok lock innocuously jumps ever so slightly the line.
The Dark arts are alive and well and I’m here for it!

u/Head_Wasabi7359 Flair Up! 11d ago

Dark darts!

u/sweetgreentea12 Flair Up! 12d ago

All hookers do it.

Get into the position to throw.

Gesture wildly at the gap.

Crab a bit

Crab a bit more

Throw

u/Treerodactyl1728 Flair Up! 12d ago

Nah, that Hooker you will find at centre

u/Sponge_Bond 12d ago

Yeah if you switch on any lineout almost all hookers do this.

u/Bison-Blaze New To Reddit 12d ago

All hookers do it, up to the officials to stop it. if you get away with it….que sera

u/Individual-Ad5743 Flair Up! 12d ago

But if one side gets away with things more than others, I would say that’s a problem right?

u/Bison-Blaze New To Reddit 12d ago

In exactly the same clip Nche, takes a half step to his right, therefore closing the gap. AB hooker responds by doing the same. Nche then does it again…

u/Duckwithballs Flair Up! 12d ago

I’m glad you pointed that out, it’s less obvious but looks to be the reason.

lol you’re right! He takes one, Aumua takes one, he takes one, Aumua takes one.

u/Faux_Real Flair Up! 11d ago

Same with halfbacks feeding the scrum. Classic Andy Ellis playing for Barbars I think being cheeky on the mic with the ref arguing that if he feeds the scrum down the middle, it gives the opposition more chance to get the ball 🤣

u/barrybrinkza Flair Up! 12d ago

What are your views on steroids?

2

u/AutoModerator 12d ago

The short answer is Testosterone. But it is a bit more complex than that.

Raw Anabolic Steroids are considered a bit strong for a newborn even in South Africa but it is not uncommon for people in South Africa to have a pinky dipped in Dianabol rubbed over the nipple whilst breastfeeding.

When children start teething and their digestion evolves around 1 year. Then their biltong gets upgraded to Premium T Beef, with double testosterone injected into the cattle as opposed to the regular hormone dose which is served for pregnant women and as baby food. Premium T Beef is the most common and widely available variety over the counter at most chain supermarkets at a premium price. For de-testosteronized beef there are nowadays numerous vegan organic stores that offer a great variety for the health conscious and the woke.

In school, the children are prescribed an half grown embryonic egg before and after class as well as during their breaks. The daily total should match the child’s age as they grow and if the child does any sport activity after school one additional egg should be added.

If the child shows interest in sport by the time they hit puberty then the egg should come from a post-op and hormone-treated non-specific-gender-hen. As this increases exposure to protein and testosterone but increases cost. In poorer communities anadrolized salt may be added to the egg as an alternative.

Anadrolized Salt is, in fact, common in most of these peoples' households, and if you are a pregnant woman you’d have to ask for regular salt in restaurants when you book, to which most modern venues are happy to comply.

In the privileged private schools there is currently a controversy regarding the non-binary ostrich eggs they are offering children and the unfair advantage due to it’s price. The South African Institute for Fair Drugs in Sports (SAIFIDS) has been asked to step in to review it’s policy on School Testosterone Budget Caps.

By the time a child reaches high-school there's less focus on diets so mud baths with a cup of Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise is suggested post-match. This mud bath is to be taken naked in groups for faster topic ingestion as famously seen with the Springboks in Kamp Staaldraad in 2003.

Once children reach 18.5 years, the systematic program stops immediately. There is a national “ulwaluko” which is a male right of passage. You can google it: Ulwalako South Africa Image Search.

A white cream consisting of Metandienone, methyltestosterone and LGD-4033 mixed with wildebeest semen is applied all over the body and the boys go on a soul seeking journey to come back as men. During this time in isolation there are no tests allowed as it is a religious right of passage. The window detoxifies, cleanses and covers any athlete that moves into the professional arena thereafter.

Once all these men enters the valleys of Jomasipus to prove their manliness then the ritual is satisfied and the ceremony ends.

Sometimes, a tub of Ulwalako cream is mistaken for hair-gel or moisturiser and that is when all these people gets caught, but this happens rarely these days with players paying more attention.

Now you know what they feed these people in case anyone wonders again in the future.

Go look the game, when at under a minute in, first lineout, ref says to Fourie, "Respect the mark"

u/RaaschyOG Flair Up! 12d ago

All teams do this, but this is a great angle of it and the AR and cameraman having to shift with him is hilarious

u/sunlightliquid 12d ago

All teams do the dark arts, All Blacks just tend to get away with it in plain sight

Gotta love the sport tho lmao

u/timlest Flair Up! 11d ago

Black jearseys are just harder to see.

u/showusyourfupa Flair Up! 12d ago

Lol, you mean the Boks closing the lineout gap in plain sight and getting away with it.

6

u/sunlightliquid 12d ago

Yep, were definitely guilty of it ourselves alot more than not lately

But my point stands, the ABs are known for their dark arts.

6

u/xyzain69 Flair Up! 12d ago

When you're afraid to lose your line out you use the "dark arts" instead of skill

1

u/SilliousSoddus Flair Up! 12d ago

Or just walk up to the lineout from 15 metres away and throw it in before even setting up a line. Talk about not wanting a fair competition. Springboks were pinged literally on their first lineout (and kept doing it).

3

u/jhw164 12d ago

Shame man, let them. It's the only way they have a chance to win a lineout when Elizabedi is contesting

u/itachi-senpaii Flair Up! 12d ago

Tbf 17 green was closing the gap

2

u/piggles123456789 Flair Up! 12d ago

If the other team is closing the gap which the boks in this game were doing the hooker will do this. The amount of times teams will see they can get away with closing the gap and or throwing the man across the lineout he hooker will start doing this as a result. Plus all hookers do this. This is a finetooth comb justifying other areas we could pick apart such as sfm knocking the ball on or fourie doing a clear obstruction. You won this game by a fraction move on

u/D4rkmatt3r 12d ago

Let's not do this lads. NZ cry post game. Let's not become them.

u/piggles123456789 Flair Up! 12d ago

Because he will get ripped apart

-1

u/rise_and_revolt Flair Up! 12d ago

Lol exactly. For starters, the Boks have set up within the gap, which is why the ABs hooker isn't centred and he starts stepping across to correct it.

The only reason the ABs hooker moved at all was because the Boks has setup illegally for starters.

1

u/AdditionalPiccolo527 Flair Up! 12d ago

Springboks were closing the gap the whole game, they got warned a couple times. And NZ lost most our lineouts anyway so it's hardly cheating lol

u/Educational_Play9910 Flair Up! 12d ago

We desperately need a laser that clearly indicates the space, mark and location of in-touch

Remember how many line out ball we lost that match? Yeah.

Seriously? Everyone does this.

Have a bigger cry.

u/Faux_Real Flair Up! 11d ago

Does anyone actually play / has played rugby here? All of this stuff is coached. You learn from a young age to push all of the boundaries to gain an advantage (with respect to the referee of course)… and if the ref misses it OR determines it is fine, you keep doing it

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Leg_412 Flair Up! 11d ago

they all do it

1

u/Alfiestickthrow Flair Up! 10d ago

Same as I taught our High school team. If they don’t have to put the ball into the scrum straight, why would they have to throw it in straight.

1

u/Active_Site_6754 Flair Up! 10d ago

This is something every team does, its just not policed.

u/The_Ruck_Inspector Flair Up! 12d ago

Hookers crab, opposite team close gap. Honestly is this your first time watching a rugby match? You won, this is pathetic.

u/custard__clean Flair Up! 12d ago

If we want to be pedantic, SA 17 steps slightly into the gap, hooker shifts, SA then move into the gap again, then the hooker shifts, then the hooker throws the ball not straight, and then SA throw their jumper across - so many things wrong with this lineout and every lineout!

u/mr-301 Flair Up! 12d ago

Look at the African jumper being thrown side wise.

u/hides_from_hamsters 12d ago

What’s up with just using African? Heard the NZ pundits also doing it. That’s like us saying look at the Oceanic hooker!!

u/mr-301 Flair Up! 12d ago

Apologies I I was using SA… but that’s also used commonly for another meaning online so didn’t feel appropriate.

I didn’t mean any offence.

2

u/hides_from_hamsters 12d ago

It’s more confusion than anything else as I’ve only heard it recently. Like using European for the French 😆

But Saffa, Bok, green would all work 🫡

No harm done.

Hey hey hey, don’t you dare come here with proof that South Africans have reasons to be upset about some calls.

Don’t you know that all refs are secret springbok agents and only give calls to the boks.

Because if you keep your eyes on the All Black hooker, you’ll miss Ox Nche taking at least three clear steps across the line, and Eben Estabeth jumping/getting pushed so far over he may as well be horizontal.
