Unlucky

SA got the ball on a string but just rolls dead

God it's depressing seeing the Sasha at 10 when we roll out Beauden Barrett who's looking more and more like a carthorse. Reminds me of Ireland selecting Sexton at 37 and expecting miracles

ACT Crusader

End to end stuff

This is DC v Lions 2005 level of class shown by Sasha. Unbelievable performance.

Fantastic team try

Argentina knackered

Excellent hands from some of the Boks toght forwards.

Can't disagree. The pack he's playing behind though.......

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.

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

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.

Lions boost

Lots of really good players playing well

Edit

Shit they’re not playing each other

Razzle Dazzle

SA 60-30 Argentina

ACT Crusader

90 points up and Boks have 60 of them!

PN

Refs struggling to keep up with the pace of the game. Medics on him every stoppage.

MiketheSnow

PSDT into my Top 10 players of all time

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.
