Springboks v All Blacks I

[Bones]

@pakman the tell is more obvious than that. It's the knees leaning on the tackled player, while his hands rest on the ground about a metre forward of that, combined with the fact he still can't get the leverage to lift.

@Bones a lot of things are obvious as fuck unless you're Angus.

I'm intrigued by a penalty at scrum time for knee on the ground and walking around too. Our props must have amazing strength and flexibility to do that!

[pakman]

@NTA Ta. Good post. At scrum in question I did notice that Lomax was tenting, but it was ironical that it was a subtle tug downwards by Kitshoff’s left arm which caused him to collapse: the irony being that AG signalled that Lomax had pulled down with his arm, which he hadn’t.

@stodders start Fletcher Newell. Can't do worse, Angus and Tyrrell are dead ends. Throw the new boy in the deep end.

That knee thing is stupid, same as when you put your hand down and then remind. It stops a collapse,so it's not good thing!

@pakman you lot can be glad Deon Fourie isn't playing. He has been outstanding all season for the Stormers.

I'd be more worried if Boks chose Roos or Louw, than Fourie. Kwagga is a great option off the bench as he covers every position apart from the front row 😂.

Fourie isn't displacing Kolisi.

@stodders Fourie is a prime poacher. Started as a 2.

I know who he is. He's 35. If the Boks have an injury crisis, they'll perhaps pick him. But he isn't the future. So he won't get much of an opportunity.

KLA gets 4 weeks. Out of tour.

His job is done.

Not much of a deterrent if truth be told.

Springboks winger Kurt-Lee Arendse suspended for four weeks for reckless challenge on Beauden Barrett

[Frye]

Halved from 8 weeks because of a clean record. Well it's his first test so well done on not being red carded for the first 77 minutes I guess!

[OomPB]

@Frye he played 41 matches for SA 7s, 31 matches for the Bulls, before that in 2015-2017 CC for WP u19, Boland u20 & WP u21.

Don't think he head butt or eye couch someone.

@stodders Not sure that’s pulling apart the backfield myself. ABs were probably happy with a couple of those kicks. Sure, if Jordan is up then kick behind. Think other teams wouldn’t view those kicks favourably.
