Springboks vs Argentina (Port Elizabeth)
-
It will be interesting to watch the South Africans this season. I've seen several comments after the June Series saying that SA is back on the way up, but I found that a bit strange, considering they have only played against - and beaten - France this year. So this RC campaign should give us more evidence of where they are at.

Wow, how long has Bruno been captain for? I was going to pose the query as to why they persist with him and then I saw he's captain.
Since Whiteley got injured in June.
Agree. De Jager and du Toit are better. Bruno is rather overrated IMO.
-
Having watched both the Argentina v England series and SA v France series I would expect SA to put the Argies to the sword. Especially at home.
SA by 11-16 in a high scoring affair.
-
It's a pretty inexperienced side for the Boks across the board. If the Argies can keep the score close going into the final 20, then it could be a little uneasy for that young Bok side.

Odd choice. He's not the most calm guy on the field.
When they play the ABs I can see BBBR getting in his face at every opportunity. Get him riled up and it will erode any high ground he may hold as captain with the ref. -
This is great to watch. Frantic, fast, and furious.
-
Absolutely cracking try from Argentina - Tuculet breaks against the SA attack, and length of the field with Landajo picking up the kick through and touching down. No conversion.
SA 6-5 Arg.
-
Great game so far. Haven't even noticed the ref.

Really do you didn't notice the try that was awarded when it should have been penalty to blue for player not releasing the ball
