    There’s a lot of South Africans on reddit commenting that “wid kant” or “wit kant” (I forget which) is Afrikaans for open side - and he can be seen in the vids trying to get defenders back into position.

    Apparently kant is pronounced the same as cunt

        Except apparently the incident happened after the ball had already been kicked out of bounds so there wasn’t any play to refer to. Of course everything anybody is saying about it is speculation at the moment, other than that Curry complained to the referee about being called it

        And half of people are saying oh, it means wide side / open side, other’s are saying no no no SA use the terms Pink Side & White Side in Afrikaans. So who really knows.

        I just wish everyone would shutup about it because NZ doesn’t need anything to get SA to circle the wagons & fire up anymore than they already are for a final!
