Do the callers just cool off at the eleventh hour, or is there a regular weird technical curse on SuperRugby on Monday nights?

Maybe this happens by chance on the nights I choose to watch it, but it’s surprising how often public contributors of questions or theories (more often the latter!) To the weekly Afrikaans rugby chat show on SuperSport seem ” die, “with a long beep, just as Kobus Wiese or anyone else hosting the show is about to entertain your thoughts.

Of those who make it through, some may be wordy … occasionally with the suspicion, to me, of being a leaf or two in the wind, although Big Kobus uses diplomatic good humor to reduce his passions when necessary.
