Argentina look shithouse and South Africa look really really really dominant.
Thatās all u guys need to know if u havenāt watched the game. It was a shit load of penalties given away from Argentina because Sourh Africa were too dominant.
This, as predicted

You lot are worse then the Aussies watching the ref iso rugby.
I mean, you can't see Marx at it again not even supporting his own body weight one iota? I'm sure...
NH ref slightly different interpretations - he wasn't always looking for the "lift" by the defender.

@arhs hard disagree on Reinach. Charged down twice: a symptom of his ponderous decision making. He wasnāt the only reason the bok attack sputtered but he didnāt help.
On the positive side he did snipe effectively a few times. And the game may well have gone differently if Orie didnāt have cows tits for hands after Reinachās sweet little outside break and pop.
Given the Hendrikseās unlucky injury Reinach is going to get some time to fix his decision making on the way to the ruck. Rather hope that Orie isnāt given the same chance.
But I was comforted by that game. The boks have a history of being mentally off every now and again. The way yesterdayās game started it seemed like one of those games where enough boks didnāt pitch with the right mentality. Many of our most frustrating losses started just like this game - the loss to the Argies in Durban springs to mind.
But with Lood, Siya, Am, the back and front threes (apart from Bongi in a rare off day) showing their class, their switched off colleagues didnāt cost them the win. But thatās the get out of jail card used up and plenty of boks now owe the team a big game.

@bones Ledesma would be entitled to push out a turgid, overlong video filled with yellow circles this weekā¦
Itās disorienting to be on this side of that kind of performance.
The one area I thought the ref was pretty good though was the ruck.
But I know how you feel. Itās how I felt about McCaw (and Smith for that matter): they must have been getting their hands on the ball illegally, so often did they fuck up our ball.
