| 1639744639170146307 | @BrendenNel No one minds if the ref (or the team of 4 - Ref, AR's and TMO) gets the odd decision wrong. But there are decisions referred to as 'High Impact Decisions' - those they need to get absolutely right, and they are not, and that's why supporters gets pissed off. | 5 |
| 1640021891736846336 | @JacquesMaree73 @BrendenNel @Our_DA Do the commentariat even know that Ian Ollis also resigned from the DA in 2018 to study at MIT and Harvard? He is now Director of Transportation Planning at Fredericksburg Area Met. Planning Org. Now let’s guess why that resignation passed under the radar .... | 3 |
| 1640034593033056256 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA Unlike an ANC politician, Gwen is actually employable outside the political arena. Amazing, isn't it. How dare she take a any opportunity that works for her, right? | 2 |
| 1640972763648106496 | Kom geniet die rugby en kom kuier saam by Affies @Tukkies @AHS1920 @ss_schools @4KobusWiese @BlueBullsRugby @BrendenNel https://t.co/Dnf8CbXoq4 | 2 |
| 1640059065765183495 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA Young people mentored, who go on to do brilliant things Congratulations @GwenNgwenya. What a fantastic career opportunity. | 2 |
| 1639748091652759561 | @Mud_n_Guts @BrendenNel Van Staden made a legal clearout and got pinged. Duane made a obvious no arm tackle and the TMO seemed blind to that. I always allow for 2 or 3 wrong calls, but I have just named 6, all of which had a big influence on the match in that it stole the momentum from the Bulls. | 1 |
| 1640376093059235841 | Maties coached by Proudfoot? Cause they as kak as England was in November. @BrendenNel | 1 |
| 1639746303394496514 | @Mud_n_Guts @BrendenNel They miss them in every game because the rules crocked ... And yet they have such a big impact on the game | 1 |
| 1639747184596865024 | @Mud_n_Guts @BrendenNel I think it has a much bigger impact in these big games that are tight. The panel showed clearly both yellows were terrible calls. Ulster props dropped the scrum twice and got resets. Bulls props dropped tye scrum twice and got pinged both times. | 1 |
| 1640024378011205632 | @AprilSnowGoose @BrendenNel @Our_DA Absolutely zero thought. Just the same vacuous pre-programmed Pavlovian response, guaranteed to elicit a few likes and retweets from an equally uncritical following. | 1 |

| 1640415242420207617 | @BrendenNel We're gonna go back and award Ulster that victory down in SA last season as well then? Home SF etc etc. Or let's just all move on shall we | 27 |
| 1639385585105158144 | @BrendenNel I was at the game and the wind was insane and gusting, rain in first half was also crazy. All things considered thought the Stormers played well - so did all the Leinster fans around me. Great evening entertainment and very good advert for URC | 21 |

| 1639370849009516548 | @BrendenNel You mean a cynical penalty. In a try scoring position. Not every yellow needs a warning beforehand… | 19 |
| 1640030851395092482 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA You're right, It seems people in the DA are very employable. Well spotted👍. | 17 |
| 1640043407136440322 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA The only trend I see is that people from @Our_DA are actually employable outside of politics….. | 16 |
| 1640034341571928065 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA Sadly that trend of improving ones lot in life has sadly passed you by. | 14 |
| 1640023685971968006 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA What a weird tweet ... someone gets a huge job offer working for probably the biggest online accomodation business on the planet and you somehow manage to spin it as some kind of conspiracy or purge. Why not just be happy for her? | 14 |
| 1640024815200358402 | @BrendenNel @Our_DA Mmm 👇 https://t.co/nvuEeN2Yjs | 13 |
