Springboks v Pumas 1 (14 Aug 2021)

[OomPB]

@machpants my biggest worry. Maybe the 10 changes a good thing.

Hopefully more attacking rugby.

Yep Oom, I suspect the Boks are picking teams horses for courses style, and they needed to play how they did to beat Lions, and have different style for Pumas.

[Bovidae]

The Boks are playing 5 tests in 5 weeks so were never going to be able to roll out the same team.

Argentinian egos maybe

This one is a Raeburn Shield challenge too...

2018 was the last time the All Blacks held it and we haven't even had a shot at it since then! Hopefully we can come out of the rugby championship with it.

Curious to see how the Boks are this week after coming down from the Lions series

[ARHS]

This could be a close one. No Cubelli though

[Stargazer]

[ACT Crusader]

A couple of forward passes in a row from the Boks but play on.

[ACT Crusader]

Pumas try a fancy backline move and only 2/3rds of it goes right and the Boks halfback picks up the pieces and scores a try.

[Stargazer]

Was Fassi onside? Looked miles in front of the kicker.

[Stargazer]

Also not convinced the Springbok hooker supported his own body weight in that turnover.

@stargazer saffa ref?

Pumas look horrible ball in hand. Panic mode everywhere.

[sparky]

Just imagine what the Boks would do to this side.
