Twitter continues to offer up headline fodder the worldwide web and rugby is no exception. A a recent tweet from Sharks skipper John Smit (‘Scan on my neck today, with the ref getting the engage setup distance wrong my neck got caught in an engage & now its a tad sore! Hold thumbs’) was taken as a slight on the referee in question - South African Jonathan Kaplan - cue headlines.

I doubt Smit really has a real beef with Kaplan (or maybe he has?) and was perhaps just a little disgruntled to pick up what he saw as a needless injury (the Springboks skipper was to undergo further scans). You would think a player of Smit's profile would be aware that nothing he says is going to go unnoticed - and maybe he is and this is a well-orchestrated piece of spin aimed at getting his message across without incurring the wrath of officials.

Enough analysis. Here's some tea break-fodder for your delectation.
