Looking forward to two things by Monday. 1. Ben Smith’s next article. 2. The mathematical permutations for Ireland to take the no.1 spot.

Haha I didn't read either of those last two, were they comedy gold in their seriousness were they?!

4 in a row. First time since 1949 since the Boks won 4 in a row over the AB's. AB's didn't score 1 try. The Boks got 2. They say the Boks can't score tries. Not the best game from either side. Last week was better from both. However, still a great game as usual. The haters will find a reason why the Boks got given a win. I don't care. The Boks are great. 7 changes against the AB's and still wins. Sorry Ireland, you can't get a free ride on the AB's coat tails to become World number 1. You have to work for it. Congratulations Bokkies, you deserve this. You brought back the Freedom Cup, and the RC Cup. 3 Cups in a row. Well done!!!

If people don't believe that the Springboks are the true World Cup winners and the best team in the world then they are in denial.

Handling errors and turnovers. Vark Steaks!!!!

MattJH 202 days ago

Springbok handling has to be much better than that if they want to play Tony Brown styles.

Harsh on Willie. Rubbish card.

A messy game. The Boks defence and line outs a mess

A
Ace 202 days ago

Bok lineout is fkd & apparently they've forgotten how to catch a ball.

K

Yeah some miss throws :(

B

Springbok women smoking the Barbarians. 33-10 after 40.


Pity the match isn’t being covered on RP.


Cape Town strip looking glorious. Another beautiful day in Africa.

B
Bull Shark 203 days ago

Excited to see Cheslin on 11 and Moodie on 14.


Kolbe’s scores a lot more tries on the left. And Moodie’s frame on the kick and chase, contestables could give Reece nightmares.

K
Kia koe 203 days ago

Worried about the ref this game. This one messed up the Wales Vs Fiji game at the last RWC....

B
Bull Shark 203 days ago

I’m worried about the TMO. Been consistently poor this RC

B
Bull Shark 205 days ago

Happy to see Jaden, Moodie and Am back in the mix.


Exciting lineup.

B
Bull Shark 205 days ago

Plan B left field picks:


10. Libbok

15. SFM


Pollard on the bench.


Weather looking good for running rugby.

B
BM 207 days ago

IS THIS SELECTION FOR THIS WEEK? OR JUST YOUR CHOICE?

B
Bull Shark 206 days ago

My pick. Assuming Siya and KLa are out.


I’m thinking two fresh props. A bit of a gamble with Am at 12 to throw the midfield a bit. Starting with Williams at 9, Reinach off the bench for the impact role.


The weather looks cool and dry for Saturday, if there’s rain we might see Pollard start. SFM off the bench.


There’s a little bit of me that thinks Canan Moodie and Esterhusien could feature. But I’d save them for the Argentina leg. Along with Willie, Manie, Am. Split squad coming up.
