Springboks v Pumas 1 (14 Aug 2021)

@act-crusader 100%. What I don’t get is that the halfback has to go offside to go kick the ball to the back of the ruck. Penalize a few of the mouthy bastards for it and blow a few up for not using it and the travesty will be gone in no time.
Might even lower box kicks as you’ll see more charge downs and scrummies getting caught at the base of the ruck.

Comfortable win for SA B+
OZ and Arg battling it out for wooden spoon

10 changes for the Bok’s and still a 20 point win,
Good depth in SA rugby by the looks of it.Watching that match, Fiji would’ve probably beaten that Argies team.

Agreed
Lots on here have a hard on for Argentina but they’re showing nothing at the moment
Struggled against Wales B and got hammered by SA B+
Very predictable
Hopefully they’re just at the end of the previous WC cycle in terms of personnel and there’s new blood on the way
They have the cattle in 7s

I was actually post 12min in that I thought we were going to lose that game, but the post did not go through. Shows what I know...
Still worried about our attack - the pack were getting us on the front foot, but Reinach was slowing down good ball. I cam understand going back to the kicking game as the Pumas were really struggling in that aspect, but there were plenty of opportunities to use other tools, but we screwed it up.
Also discipline is becoming an issue whenever we were on defence we gave away unnecessary penalties. With tougher games coming up we need to give the refs a better picture.
Worried about the pumas, they looked completely toothless as soon as Reinach scored and had to chase the game.
