I have this past year found the marvel named Twitter and have met some, let me call them, interesting people on the social networking platform.  It is addictive and tends to take up too much of your time.  As I am writing this, I have checked my twitter feed twice since the start.  I think I have a problem!  You should get this problem! It’s an awesome problem!

The following list comprises the most passionate sports people I know.  If you on twitter you might be following a few of them, if you not, I advise you start with the following thing right away!

@fpbonthuys – Runs this very website...

 @djvanman – Check out Dave’s view top right.

@followthebounce @iamjohnnyking @RuggaWorld – Host 3 of my favourite rugby blogs.

@RichardHops – Very opinionated and loves his boks!

@grantwp – Big time Stormers/WP man.

@grantpringle – Don’t confuse the 2 Grants!

@KeeganKruger – Hockey, football, rugby, awesomeness... he’s your guy!

@DarylHH – He might be living where the Sharks roam free, but he is passionate about WP.

@AntKaplan – Biggest Sharks supporter living in OZ.

@BokShark – Miles is sport mad, unlucky about the whole fan of the Sharks thing though...

@Runningflyhalf – One of the first true rugby men I have met on Twitter.

@DJMager7 – Knows a decent amount about the game we love.

@EgonSeconds – Big name, big heart, keeps it real.

@clydesta – Dont be fooled by his avatar, he’s worth the follow!

@GarethB81 – Prefers cricket, but knows his rugby.

@IgorNaj – Shame, he stays in Jozi.  Clever tweets!

And then, over the festive season, a new hashtag emerged - #rugbyunited. This tagline has united followers of rugby across the globe.  Your following increases and you find a host of new rugby mad people to follow.  I keep checking #rugbyunited frequently to find new rugby nuts.

These guys enrich my viewing experience and have my seal of twitter approval.  I can’t wait for SupeRugby to begin... and more importantly I can’t wait for the RugbyBanter to begin!

Later,
