Fucking hell
What a half
Argentina think they’re going in at the half 5 to the good with 20 of their points gifted to them by dumb SA play
Marx on YC for first 10 mins of second half
But SA say fuck that and score in injury time
SA 25-23 Argentina
Half time
@MiketheSnow and Marx will be only off for 5 minutes of the second half too

This must be the shitest ref in the history of rugby
Because he’s not letting the Boks get away with murder at the ruck and with the offside line….

Actually I would say that he has missed several knock-ons by SA. He seems to be overwhelmed by the occasion

This is DC v Lions 2005 level of class shown by Sasha. Unbelievable performance.
Can't disagree. The pack he's playing behind though.......

Love his try act though
Allblacks are well behind in the development stakes.
The likes of Ruben Love would have 20 caps for South Africa at this stage.
Bok masterclass this afternoon
Could easily be 53-10
Drubbing
PSDT would be MOTM on any other day
SA 53-30 Argentina

I only see France living with this Boks team right now. They have taken their game to another level since the last RWC which is something I didn't see coming. The clash in Paris is going to be something special.
A full England side will beat SA this November

Absolutely.
Somebody mentioned this ABs team is a bit like the black caps from a few years back where they would select players because they cleared a half century a few seasons back.
The likes of BB and Ioane should have been phased out 2 or 3 seasons ago. Their performances just haven't been enough.

Not a dig, but what basis do you think this could happen? I can't see it myself.

Edit
Shit they’re not playing each other

Sooner than that.
Beaudy was “washed” by his own standards at the end of the 2019 World Cup.
Rieko has done fuck all since 2020 really, again by his own standards.
We have gone soft at the selection table.
ALB has 80 odd caps. I can’t remember a signature performance amongst them.

PSDT into my Top 10 players of all time
Remarkable when you consider his career was nearly over twice.
@ExiledHalfback said in Springboks vs Pumas I:
NZRU need to get their head out of their arses. Overseas player selections hasn't damaged the Curry Cup as a competition.
In fact, it has given many more players an opportunity

We are a joke right now. Handicapping ourselves by not even allowing players who have returned to NZ to be picked immediately- i.e Leicester. We simply aren't good enough to be this stupid. A pro game run by amateurs.
