MiketheSnow

Patient, precise phase play from France (27)

Awesome defence from SA.

MiketheSnow

France batter tge SA line for what seems like ages and just come away with a penalty.

SA go 40m for the converted try.

Great hands

SA 30 - 10 France

SA 30 - 15 France

MiketheSnow

Fabulous strip of the ball from Kolisi and deft pass to Jantjes to go over for his first test try.

SA 37 - 15 France

Comfortable win for SA.

Two good performances back to back to take the series.

The fight for second place in the Rugby Championship is going to be very interesting.

Saffas have to be big favourites. I think Aussies have to play at altitude.

Didn't see all of it but bokke looked great. Interplay and cohesion.

Rapido

Scott Spedding scored his first test try .............. in his 22nd test.

France: you are a fucking disgrace to your formally wonderful rugby heritage.

Damian Penaud looks great. On debut. He impressed me in last year's U20s as well.

His father Alain, from the early 90s, was a fantastic five-eighth who would have rocked it in the modern game. Didn't kick goals though.

Rapido

To even out my spite.

Does Jan Serfontein have the slowest twitch fibres in modern rugby?

Everything he does seems so slow.

MiketheSnow

SA very much on the up.

Got the mongrel back.

No thread for Match III, but SA beat France convincingly 35-12

France never looked like scoring a try.

SA looked great. Tough, quick and inventive.

Seems to be a genuine happy team spirit with everyone in the squad.

Thoroughly deserved the 3-0 series whitewash.
