Couldn't find a match thread for this...

Actually kind of curious to see how the Springboks come together on it since they haven't played together for so very long. Georgia have the capacity to be a tough game though I would ultimately expect them to be beaten.

Great to see Georgia on tour and would love to see it when not being squeezed in pre lions etc.

Also the first Raeburn Shield challenge since RWC2019 so nice to see that going again.

I mentioned elsewhere the Boks have been unbeaten since November 2018.

Invincible they are.

Since the boks last defeat the ABs have lost twice, drew one. Winningest 🏆

Inconceivable!

@mikethesnow 19-9 SA leading into the break, after a missed DG attempt from Georgia. When I posted my previous post, Georgia were 9-5 up....

Imagine what Georgia would do to the ABs.

Smith might be small for a No 8 but no one is going to stop him from 5-10 yards out off the back of the scrum with his speed and strength

Albertus Stephanus Smith didn't play against the ABs in the RWC (did play in two other games) , maybe he had an appointment at Hogwarts.

Treason, Ardie is at the height of his powers.
I hope that burn wasn't too Savea.
