    There was no thread for the game against Italy so putting this here - I saw this on facebook.

    When did we start calling these "Friendlies" ?

    The NH can go fuck themselves.

    It was a tighter game than the scoreline suggests. Italy were playing without a few of their best players (Capuozzo, Lamaro, Ruzza, Brex, just to name a few) while the Springboks fielded a very strong and experienced team.

    Le Roux strikes 100 as Erasmus names three uncapped players against Italy

    Willie le Roux will become the eighth Springbok centurion on Saturday when South Africa meet Italy in the second Castle Lager Incoming Series Test at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, in a new-look team which will be led by Salmaan Moerat and includes three uncapped players on the bench.

    Good on you boy, enjoy your century

    We could not have more disparate opinions on Willie le Roux.

    Credit to Willie. He went the long way from Paul Roos via Boland, Griquas, Cheetahs , Sharks to the Springbok team. Lassie ignore him while coaching the Stormers. Here he is , 100 up. Must admit he made me swear a lot.

    BFA hasn't even been good enough to make the ABs since 2019. Man we've had some smashing wings/fullbacks in that time.

    Absolutely. But for a long time he was the only Bok who could see, create and use space.

    Even so almost every SA group chat I’m in has
    been renamed something like Willie Le Roux Appreciation Society because it drives at least a quarter of the blokes mental.
