Big turnaround for the Boks. Pace, invention, commitment.

Rugby needs a strong SA team.

@MiketheSnow So Coetzee let the Lions players play like they do in Super rugby instead of coaching the flair out of them.

Yep @Bovidae

They looked good. Hungry.

Who is the prop playing on the left wing for France?

Geez that Malcolm Marx looks a good player. Boks look like they might have turned a corner, bit worried about how this team can build through the season.

Watched most until I feel asleep (from alcohol ....not the game). The Boks looked really good. Malcolm Marx looked an absolute beast.

I've just read that the crowd in Pretoria was only a little over 29K. That is the second lowest ever for a test at Loftus.

Yep, the public voted with their feet based on 2016 results.

You would expect close to capacity for Durban.

2016: 12 games 4 wins

They had lost 7 out of 8 leading into this match

Hopefully they are turning it around it would be a disaster for southern hemisphere rugby if SA has prolonged decline like Wales did in the late 80's and 90's
