One could argue if and whether it was necessary for Rachel to put her relationship with her husband in the spotlight like that but many people reacting to her tweets were supportive of her stance.

With the Springboks only set to face Argentina in less than a month from now, the skipper may have plenty of time to address family matters with his wife since it is clear that Rachel has a few things about her husband’s celebrity she will not put up with.
