                Im far from confident going into this game.

                I liked what i saw against Australia in the second game. We seemed to really simplify our game and moved away from the dogmatic "five phases and then kick" and bombsquad tactics. But. South Africa have put up a couple of really weak performances this season when they have gone into games as favourites.

                I don't like the selections for this game, there are four inside centres in the squad and despite going with a 5 3 split any injury at the back (other than De Allende) will see multiple players out of position.

                We also have 3 opensides for some reason. Marx will again have to play close on 80 min as Fourie isnt one of the top 10 hookers in the country.

                Willemse is simply not a good enough kicker and Steyn as back up isnt much better. We could well lose this game because of that alone. We are paying thr price for not bringing in a another flyhalf into the squad, with Pollards form and Jantjies form and off field issues we looking at going to the world cup in a years time without a number 10.

                Happy to Louw get a shot, his physicality can make a big impact.

                Also fuck Jasper Wiese.

                    @SidBarret komaan Siddie , you are way to negative. Willemse lack of kicking ability forced him to play attacking rugby and Pollard can get some tips on that alone. His stepping ability (beach touchies) is eye candy.

                    We need to score three more tries then the Pumas, so we'll need to attack full out. The more poachers the merrier.

                    It's go for broke or home tonight.

                          Plenty coming from assistants, Pumas just lacking discipline.

                                diabolical refereeing, not favouring either team, but terrible communication between the assistants, the TMO and the ref, and far too many penalties

                                  Yes this is what WR should be watching and asking is this the product we want going forward. Watching AFL and League makes Rugby look pedestrian and pedantic.

                                        Argies with so many unforced errors and missed opportunities.

                                          @W32 to be fair, he didn’t favor either side. Just not confident at this level though. The whole officiating team for the match was not convincing at all

                                                Great win for the Springskoppe. That bonuspoint was much needed. Now for the grand final next week.

                                                Oh nothing wrong with the ref. He allowed the game to flow.

                                                      Also that last pass from Mapimpi for the Bok BP was a couple of metres forward - should have been scrum to Argies as the last play.

                                                        In the box seat I reckon. Chances of the Boks making up 13 pts in difference even if Nz also win is pretty good.

                                                          In the box seat I reckon. Chances of the Boks making up 13 pts in difference even if Nz also win is pretty good.

                                                          ABs will win by a lot so boks after pushing uphill.

                                                                      Go look at the video - it was forward. Mapimpi is a winger, as well as a ball hog, so you could forgive him for not knowing how to pass even at professional level.

                                                                      I thought the yellow on Kwagga was harsh.

                                                                      Agreed but the framework got in the way, and the refs have to rule on high contact. Once they decided it was high contact, they had no option but to go YC and Penalty Try.

                                                                      But nevertheless if you want to be critical I think the ref was good.

                                                                      The issue I have is with one of the ARs - Daymon Murphy - who was constantly in Doleman's ear. He got a couple right but a few of them were marginal and had practically no effect on the game.

                                                                      Daymon Murphy is Australian, just in case you want to call me out for "the usual Aussie crap".

                                                                              But I think the All Blacks will smash the Wallabies by 50.

                                                                                What a weird game. I guess we won and but for the third quarter looked pretty comfortable, but it still felt unsatisfying somehow.

                                                                                I probably need to watch it again (watched it in pub with maybe a beer too many), but i am struggling to think of anything we did well in this game. The scrum was poor, the discipline shocking (so many dumb penalties), the backline atrocious, yet somehow the win and the bonus point felt inevitable.

                                                                                Individually the whole starting pack (except Jasper Wiese) was really good. Jaden Hendrikse is now comfortably first choice.

                                                                                Both centers were a bit shit on attack, but good on defence.

                                                                                The backthree didnt have much to but didnt fuck up either so that.

                                                                                Louw was very good when he came on, very busy on defence and got an important turnover.

                                                                                I know i shouldnt be so negative about the boks right now. They have won the the last two games away from home with bonus points and looked pretty comfortable doing it, all without a recognised flyhalf and arguably their two best backline players (Am and Kolbe), but doesnt "feel" like we are making progress.

                                                                                Itll be interesting to see what happens next week at ten cause it looks like Willemse picked up a head injury. At this stage it looks like they will have go with Frans Steyn (though we could select Malherbe there for all the good it would do, they are the same shape afterall)

                                                                                Ps - Fuck Jasper Wiese

Faf must play but he mustn't kick this saturday. Willemse was excellent on defense especially when we had yellows.

                                                                                  To be honest forget about the trophy, which will be a bonus At this moment I think we are in pole position towards the next WC of TRC countries. If we play well we can beat any team on a given day specially in France.

                                                                                  Ps I like Upington's Jasper Wiese. It's my birth town
