‘He listened to us': Pirates fans praise Ouaddou for his team selection
Orlando Pirates supporters were pleased with the team's starting eleven following their 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg on Saturday. ADVERTISEMENT Downs opened the scoring with Teboho Mokoena but a late equaliser from Kamogrlo Sebelele saved Bucs' blushes. The draw gives Sundowns an advantage; however, Pirates will feel confident given how they played, especially in the second half. After the draw, Pirates fans praised Ouaddou for fielding experienced players. The Moroccan coach started the match with only three new signings and it paid off as Sebelebele, Lebone Seema and Sihle Nduli were effective around the more experienced players. 'This should be the starting 11 for majority of the games, except for Seema when Sibisi/Ndah returns, Mbule and Dlamini should always be used as impact players, the coach seems to be getting it right, he keeps it like this, Pirates are back,' tweeted @Vusumuzi23Vusi. 'I did say the Coach will be given a starting 11. This is Pirates!!! #OnceAlways Welcome back Mbatha!!!' tweeted @KhethaD23. ADVERTISEMENT Pirates Fans happy with Ouaddou…for now 'He listened to us the Orlando Pirates faithful this was a better lineup than the last two,' tweeted @SirRoyzen. @Katlego_Leko wrote: 'Pirates don't need unnecessary trial and error with the right starting 11 locked in, this team has enough quality to run through the PSL and remind everyone why the Ghosts are a powerhouse.'

Livid Rassie drops p-word after shock Springboks loss
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus let rip with an infamous South African profanity after the team's shock loss against the Wallabies at Ellis Park on Saturday, 16 August. The Boks were defeated 38-22 by the Australian team. As a result, the boys in green and gold have lost their World Rugby number one ranking, sliding into the third spot behind New Zealand and Ireland. In a clip posted on social media, Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus reacted to the team's shock loss against the Wallabies. After the final whistle blew, the camera panned on the 52-year-old, who was seen saying the swear word 'p***'. @neale_wp Wat se Oom Rassie 🤔🤔🤔 #southafrica #rugby #springbok ♬ original sound – Neale De Vries In a press conference after their defeat, Rassie stated: 'We were really dogsh*t today. 'They beat us in most departments. We as coaches got it terribly wrong/ We have to look first at ourselves before we point fingers at players. He added, 'A bad loss, in a bad way, not against a bad team, and we didn't have fight – and that is not what we want to give SA'. On social media, South Africans called out the Springbok coach for his experimental tactics with the national team, which has lost its number one ranking. @mfazwe_anele : 'Hardly any time for Rassie's gimmicks tonight. Totally outplayed by the Wallabies.' @GmanSupBro: 'Is Rassie playing 4D chess?' Others urged fellow South Africans to keep the faith… @stefan_in_cape: 'Maybe it's all part of the plan. Get us to 7th or 8th on the rankings going into the next WC. And then we strike! Again!' @WynandMB: 'Rassie has a plan, tonight was a piece of that plan. He is definately testing what work and what does not'. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

'Empty' Ellis Park Stadium upset rugby fans: 'Greed doesn't pay'
Scenes of an 'empty' Ellis Park Stadium have gone viral, upsetting many Springbok fans who have voiced their disappointment over pricey game tickets. However, SA Rugby bosses were unbothered about the 62 000 seater capacity venue not selling out for the Boks vs Wallabies match. South Africa lost to their rivals 38-22. On social media, Springbok fans commented on scenes from Ellis Park Stadium broadcast during the game against the Wallabies. The venue had many seating areas that visibly appeared empty. For many, this was a result of the pricey tickets for the game, which failed to sell out. X user @_TheRealMe posted: 'I can't believe SARugby is going to allow The Springboks to kick off in front of an empty Ellis Park. What a travesty!'. Another, @jppretorius_7 commented: 'I can't emphasise enough how Springboks management has robbed South African fans of watching the Bok live and seeing Ellis Park full. First time in recent memory that Ellis Park is not sold out due to ticket prices'. A third, @Dustin_LFC07 added: 'Lots of empty seats. SARU take note. Greed doesn't pay'. Tickets to the Springboks vs Wallabies game at Ellis Park were on the higher end of the scale, priced between R1050 and R4 000. The rival countries will compete next week at Cape Town's DHL Stadium, a venue also known for its pricier tickets. Meanwhile, SA Rugby boss Rian Oberholzer claimed that the organisation was satisfied with the Ellis Park ticket sales despite the venue not selling out. He told the media: 'We've hit our targets in terms of budgeting for the event. When we did our forecasts, we worked on an 85% capacity. We're well over that, and after the United Rugby Championship, we'll review our programme and how we drove it. He added: 'If we've made any mistakes, we'll rectify them before the season starts next year.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
