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.
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.

@Pot-Hale
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

Said he wasn't held

@MiketheSnow
But if you tackled and on the ground you must release whether held or not, this was clarified a couple of years ago.I guess it's not the latest protocol, cause only those one's are important

Been a bugbear of mine for years.
Hit the ground release not place. -
Comfortable win for SA.
Aus and Arg to fight for the wooden spoon. -
Boks are back! That was a really good display across the paddock and the bench was excellent. Reckon nz could struggle in the republic.
-
Boks are basically the Brumbies of the early 2000s. Maintain possession through recycle and recycle.
If you keep a good defensive line then you will force them back. Argies had some good periods doing that. But they also lack patience at times in attack and defence.
-
Argies have to get rid of this policy of only selecting players from Super Rugby. The Pumas are basically the Jaguares bar one player, and they couldn't even finish second in their Conference. Having the same team playing together under two different jerseys for 8 months of the year will make any team stale imo.
They will not be able to compete against the other teams until they have all their best players playing for them.
-
@taniwharugby Not sure, you may be right.
Having said that, SA haven't had issues selecting players from the North though over the last few years for the RC. I don't know how the club structure works up North tbh.
If they are going to continue with this policy, they need to push for another Super team and select from two teams a la the Aussie model from the 80s.
