The right team won. The Springboks kicked 8 penalty goals. Surely they have to be more ambitious than that. Ireland were much improved from last week and deservedly won. They take more from this series than the Boks who blew an opportunity to prove they're clearly the best in the world.

Gut-wrenching! But there’s no denying that the better team won.

Connor Murray at 9 is gonna slow down the Irish phase play to a crawl.

I reckon the safe bet for SA would be to pick the same side again for this test (barring any forced changes due to injury of course).

But I wonder if we won’t see Roos coming in for Marco. Maybe start Roos with Kwagga off the bench.

Karl Dickson is less likely to allow the ruck sh1tshow Luke Pearce stood by and watched which means that the boks can expect better ball, less Irish bodies and debris lying all over the place.

Manie Libbok suits the style the boks were playing at Loftus. If he has been training well - I wonder if we don’t see a fresh Libbok starting ahead of Pollard for this test.

6/2 split with SFM and Grant Williams again covering the backline. I can’t see them going with a 5/3 unless they put Polly on the bench as cover for Libbok. But Rassie generally backs his 10 so I doubt we’ll see both of them in the 23.

So 6/2 again to pulverize what is left of the Irish team.

I’m predicting an aggregate points difference of no more than +/-10pts across both matches this series.
