Doesn't surprise me tbh. I totally disagree with his abhorrent views, but legally he has a good case.
The fact that they announced they were going to sack him before the hearing will probably help him.

U20s made 12 changes from the team that gave South Africa a very decent game for 70 minutes to play New Zealand yesterday. Given injuries prior to the tournament it was probably closer to a 3rd choice team than 2nd. Our hooker for example was 4th choice and finishing his 6th year exams 2 weeks ago and only flew out to join the squad last weekend. After a terrible start we came back into it and it was 26-19 just after half time and 45-33 for the last 10 before New Zealand got an 80th minute score. Our best (2017) and joint 2nd best (2015) u20 teams took heavier beatings off New Zealand with full strength teams out. A remarkably high number of our current team will be eligible next year. Definitely positive signs for the future.

That's Gatland now confirmed as the Lions manager for South Africa 2021. 

 

Edit: would help if I could spell his name correctly.

I think Townsend will see to that anyway by masterminding a 6th place finish in the 6 Nations.

Sam Hidalgo Clyne leaving Scarlets after just one season, rumours he might be going to Toulouse.
Strange one he played 18 games for them and was then sent to Harlequins for the latter part of the season.

Scotland u20s keeping up their dismal run in Argentina, trailing Italy 19-7 at half time.

Were one game away from relegation to the U20 Trophy then if we lose, against the loser of Georgia and Fiji - given we've already lost against Georgia it doesn't bode well

Following it on Twitter, seemed to be all Scotland for the first 20 minutes of the second half, then Italy score to make it 26-7. Still the same with 8 minutes left.

we need 3 tries in 5 minutes - the plus is they are now down to 14

and we just got one to pull back to 14-26

 

Seemingly we have lost 3 penalty tires in 15 minutes with no cards dished out in the first half

And another 19-26 with a minute to go!

That was as good as it got, losing 26-19.
