Looking forward to the ABs taking on bafana bafana again… hopefully more ball in hand rugby than yesterday.
Expect a few selection changes esp at HB and in the loosies – Kwagga Smith and big DV won a close battle there.

'Grand Slam opportunity': Foster calls on All Blacks to deliver perfect record

Forgot to eat?
The prize was taken away by a better side

For such tough players they spend a lot of time lying down injured.

'Predictable, boring and primitive' or a 'win for the Springboks'? Media reaction to Boks v All Blacks

So much for that myth about tough Bok forwards… at least one injured at every stoppage.

If the Boks are so tough why are they always the ones lying down injured…
Pretending? wow that’s just sad

57-0
such fond memories… about time the Boks returned the favor

A message to the Springboks: If you’re going to try, go all the way

Didn’t take long to be worked out… just a handful of games spent as #1.
Some punters seem to make it sound like the Boks was some kind of significant reign at the top.

What becomes of the broken Bokke on the tour from hell?

2 years of in activity…???
They played in 2019 and are playing now in 2021

except they have won in Chicago… unlike you to be wrong 😂

Just look how much closer the last game against nz was
The first half of the 3rd game was the Wobblies worst half of the series, the two sides never looked further apart – men v boys was the call from most.
You’d be hard pressed finding anyone saying that the sides were closer in Perth than NZ – but for a little resurgence after the game was already lost.

Australia’s New Zealand rugby curse is actually a gift

You don’t think Rassie was giving plenty of instructions… seems to struggle to restrain himself any other time.
Seems to me the biggest change is the Boks struggling to play a side that plays for space. The Lions, Argies and Georgia all have one thing in common, and SAF looked very comfortable facing that – not so much these last two games.

MATCH REPORT: 'Box office' Thor hammers South Africa as Wallabies charge to famous victory

Congrats Wobblies, great win. Hopefully it is the catalyst for some long-term positive momentum.
Looking forward to a Bok backlash… lets see if they have one in them.

How the Springboks can overcome the All Blacks – and not just this year

Seems it depends on who you ask… I’d say balanced. What exactly is it that you disagree with?
Considering it was a successful return after 5 years – it was a great performance
jaundiced are you sure you are using that word correctly?
Or are you referring to the unhealthy hue of the Wobblies jerseys 😂

Rugby Championship turnaround: What a difference a Quade makes

easy… its called watching the game
I will break it down for you 😂 after that quote you just butchered I’m not sure you’re qualified.

the way is to assume that the Boks are reading this comments section
So dig in everyone
even more laughable

How the Springboks can overcome the All Blacks – and not just this year

excellent tactical kicking…
His two attempts at short kicks over the top were too deep, most of his longer kicks were easily fielded with little or no kick pressure (not entirely his fault).
His goal kicking was how ever flawless, although only two being difficult.
His general play was ok, not outstanding but far from poor.
Considering it was a successful return after 5 years – it was a great performance (despite SAF being poor-average everywhere but the lineout and maul).
But too I think there is good reason why he was selected for this game and not one earlier. earlier

it is a little laughable… the extent fans will go to, to explain their team’s situation.

How the Springboks can overcome the All Blacks – and not just this year

Something tells me this Boks team is more comfortable being written off and underdogs than shining at no 1 pozzie in the rankings.
So they won 4 of their last 6, despite wanting to lose so as to lower expectations in order to exceed expectations…
Interesting theory

Those stats are a little rudimentary… passing for instance would be more revealing if they were broken down according to distance from the ruck or set piece.

what about offloads and players beaten…
Any way personally I don’t care how the Boks play, sure it’s a bit like plus size models – you know, not as attractive as the rest and sometimes its better to just avert your eyes
But if they’re happy with expressing themselves that way and care not what the audience thinks – all the power to them.
