SA resorting to a midfield bomb. Are they losing confidence in tonyball?

We’re starting to lose the high ball contest

Hotham gone surely?

Our wingers aren't big enough to combat the springboks tall timber eh

They said he's failed HIA

Hopefully the big saffa forwards will get gassed with all this running.

The Boks are going to be knackered in the second half.

@Darth-Sader starting, how many weeks now?

That will change when Ruben Love comes on. They should have started him.

Boks really pushing the offload like we haven’t seen since Ruan Pinnear was running around.

SA hands letting them down at crucial times

Loving these long clearances

Our scrum isn't good again.

Kicks so far have been good, contests less so.

Hopefully this pace will hurt the boks forwards later

I'm pretty sold on DMac at FB, his kicking game alone makes a real difference

We were ok in the first 10-15 mins I thought

Sa scrum drove through there we were lucky to get away with standing up
