Damian de Allende misses yet another tackle

For a second time in 2017 under coach Allister Coetzee, the Springbok conceded a record score – this time, a 3-38 defeat to Ireland.

Here’s how the players fared:

15 Andries Coetzee
Kept his cool under pressure to step before a kick return. Looked good at times with some tackle breaks, but made some bad decisions at times as to try and run out of his 22 instead of clearing
5/10

14 Dillyn Leyds
Didn’t do much initially and had very little to work with and did some good things as a tap back from a high ball to retain possession. Got smashed in the tackle after taking a ball on the front foot from Pollard and lost it forward. Tried hard but just didn’t have many opportunities. Held his own in defence.
5/10

13 Jesse Kriel
Didn’t impress either. Got sucked in on defence by the Ireland set moves. Made a good half break, but runs sideways too much and got tackled by Aki into touch. Killed space plenty of times and made silly errors.
3/10

12 Damian de Allende
Kicked away good possession when the Boks had an overlap to work with, not very good decision making. Got caught by a rush defence from the Irish and not getting the ball away in time to his outside backs and looked unfit and out of form. His selection should really be questioned.
2/10

11 Courtnall Skosan
Good back tackle on Conway after a good set move by an Ireland that stretched the Boks defence. Did well under the high ball initially, but then lost a high ball backwards which Conway pounced on and went to score. Missed a pass from Kolisi where he could have scored. Also got sucked in a lot with Jesse Kriel on defence and opening up space for Conway out wide.
4/10

10 Elton Jantjies
Didn’t control the game well from the start of the match. Got his penalty over to get SA on the board, but was outclassed by Sexton
4/10

9 Ross Cronje
Mixed start with his tactical kicking, service was satisfactory from the base, but need to work on his decision making. Also didn’t have the best ball to work with from his pack
4/10

8 Francois Louw
Didn’t have all his way at the breakdown, carried and defended well. Won a penalty in the second half with Malcolm Marx to get his side in Irish territory. Conceded a penalty at the breakdown after being warned by the referee to leave it. Lost a good ball on attack as well and was nullified on a few occasions. Defended well though.
5/10

7 Pieter-Steph du Toit
Didn’t really make a big impact initially, but came into the game well later on and won a crucial turnover later on when Ireland had a maul rumbling at the Springboks’ tryline. Won a lineout on an Ireland throw. Conceded a breakdown penalty which Sexton converted.
5/10

6 Siya Kolisi
Had a quiet game, but was good on defence, as usual, ran a good line on attack, but was isolated and concede the penalty for holding on. Threw a good pass to Skosan who could have gone on to score, but he couldn’t catch it. He had better games before.
5/10

5 Lodewyk de Jager
Did OK with his ball in hand play and work at the breakdown as well as in the lineouts, but didn’t do anything more than his basics.
4/10

4 Eben Etzebeth
His intimidating bruising self in his carries and work rate, but also made a questionable decision to go for the lineout instead of reducing the gap to 11 points when trailing 14-0. Did well in the lineouts as well.
6/10

3 Coenraad Oosthuizen
Went off in the second minute due to injury, replaced by Wilco Louw. Not enough time to be rated.

2 Malcolm Marx
Had a Good first lineout win. Made some good carries as well and making meters for his side. Won a penalty at the breakdown with Louw at the start of the second half to get the Springboks in the Ireland half.
5/10

1 Tendai Mtawarira
Conceded a scrum penalty in the second minute of the match, made up with some solid carries and made meters for his side later on. Lost a ball on attack in the second half and didn’t carry as well to his standards.
4/10

Replacements:

23 Francois Venter (on for De Allende, 56th minute)
Certainly had a better game than De Allende, yet failed to impress and didn’t do much for the time he was on.
4/10

22 Handre Pollard (on for Jantjies, 56th Minute)

Fell awkwardly after taking a kick from Conway and slid into touch gifting Ireland territory and possession. Took the line on well, but didn’t contribute much afterwards.
5/10

21 Rudi Paige (on for Cronje, 68th Minute)
Not enough time to be rated

20 Uzair Cassiem (on for Kolisi, 68th Minute)
Not enough time to be rated

19 Franco Mostert: Not used

18 Wilco Louw (on for Oosthuizen, second minute)
Struggled surprisingly in the first 10 minutes at scrum time with Mtawarira. Held well later on in the scrums, but wasn’t much in the game. Conceded a penalty for pre-engaging late in the second half
5/10

17 Steven Kitshoff (on for Mtawarira, 54th minute)
Was solid initially, but then struggled in the scrum later in the match, didn’t have his best game either and was outplayed by his opposite at times.
5/10

16 Bongi Mbonambi(on for Marx, 68th Minute)
Not enough time to be rated

Reds snatch thrilling win over Force with last-gasp try

It was a rainy Tuesday evening when I sat at my desk, staring at the screen in disbelief. My Bitcoin months of careful savings had vanished into a shady investment scheme I’d fallen for. The website promised "guaranteed returns," but after sending 2 BTC, the platform went dark, and my wallet was empty. I felt like a fool, scammed by my own desperation for a quick profit. Days turned into weeks, and I’d nearly given up hope when a friend mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a secretive group known for tracking down lost crypto. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out through an encrypted email I found on a forum. Within hours, a response arrived: “Send us the details. We’ll see what we can do.” I shared everything, the wallet address I’d sent my Bitcoin to, the fake platform’s URL, and the few screenshots I’d taken. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t waste time with pleasantries. Their next message was a list of questions: transaction IDs, dates, even the IP address I’d used. I scrambled to provide it all, unsure how they’d pull off the impossible. Behind the scenes, Alpha Spy Nest went to work. They were a shadowy crew, hackers, blockchain analysts, and who-knows-what-else, operating on the edges of the digital world. Using tools I couldn’t begin to understand, they traced my Bitcoin through a labyrinth of wallets designed to hide the trail. The scammers had funneled it through mixers, but Alpha Spy Nest unraveled the mess, linking it to an exchange account tied to a careless crook who’d left digital breadcrumbs. Days later, I got a message: “Check your wallet.” My hands trembled as I opened my crypto app. There it was 1.9 BTC, a hair less than I’d lost due to fees, but more than I’d ever dreamed of seeing again. A follow-up note from Alpha Spy Nest explained they’d pressured the scammer into returning it after exposing his identity to the exchange. “He folded fast,” they wrote. “Stay sharp next time.” I never met them, never even learned their real names. But that rainy night, Alpha Spy Nest turned my despair into a second chance. I swore I’d never fall for a scam again and that I’d keep their name close, just in case.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

A Second Chance at My Digital Future HACK SAVVY TECH


I could never have imagined that some random Facebook groups would turn out to be my financial savior, but that is precisely how things happened following the accident when I erased the whole Bitcoin wallet by formatting the phone. It all began with what, at the time, seemed a simple phone reset. My phone had been on the fritz-apps moving slower than necessary, screens freezing on me-so I figured this factory reset was just what I needed. A responsible person I thought I had been, making sure my photo library, important files, and contacts were properly backed up online. What hadn't clicked, well, till now? It wasn't going to be in that backup-the crypto wallet, that is. The moment I booted up my "brand-new" phone and went to my wallet, my stomach just dropped. It was gone: All evidence of it vanished. My mind goes to: Had I written down my recovery phrase? Was there another backup somewhere? Spoiler alert: I had nothing. I freaked out. That wallet had about $80,000 worth of Bitcoin in it. Suddenly, I realized it was gone-unsalvageable. I spent hours Googling the solution, reading forum posts, and trying to reverse-engineer my mistake. Every attempt ended in frustration. It was then that I turned to Facebook. Desperate, I made a post in some niche crypto group I joined years ago but never really participated in. The answers were full of condolences, technical suggestions, and direct doom. Yet, there was this comment: This happened to me last year. Try HACK SAVVY TECH-they saved my funds." I looked up their page, read through dozens of positive reviews, and had nothing to lose. From the moment I reached out, they handled everything like pros: patiently walking me through this process, reassuring me that this wasn't an impossible case. That confidence gave me a degree of hope, but I braced for bad news. A few days later, I received that call: my Bitcoin was fully recovered. The relief was overwhelming. What I thought was a disaster turned into just a stressful hiccup—all thanks to HACK SAVVY TECH. Now, I have my funds back, a proper backup strategy, and a newfound appreciation for random Facebook groups. Lesson learned: never assume your data is safe.
