Springboks v Pumas 1 (14 Aug 2021)

[ACT Crusader]

They need to stop this snake crap at the back of a ruck and the halfbacks rolling it back with hand or foot behind two or three guys joining a ruck.

Massive blight on the game. Been bad from both sides in this one. Even noticed Aaron Smith did it once tonight.

One way traffic so far.

Pumas look horrible ball in hand. Panic mode everywhere.

It's like watching 15 DMacs

I was going to say the Olympic 7s finished last week…

Helter skelter stuff from the Argies.

[Bones]

@kiwimurph that was astute.

[ACT Crusader]

Highlight of the match so far, Argies lock gets penalised for crawling and then as he gets up the Boks halfback goes to the grab the ball off him and he gets a little excited by not giving it to him and ends up back on the deck.

I think the score is flattering the Springboks. Some terrible officiating helping the home team.

[ACT Crusader]

I thought the ref called advantage over just as Jantjies dropped the ball?

[booboo]

Messy at the moment

Sound effects company sound like they Went out to get "typical" rugby crowd noises and watched too many games from Millenium Stadium. Keep hearing strains of Cwm Rhondda in the crowd noise.

[ACT Crusader]

Haha the Irish ref getting in the middle of some handbags actually getting physical with the players. Just blow your whistle Paddy

Quite liked the boxing bell when there was handbags though.

[Stargazer]

Forward pass in the lead-up to that try?

Last pass was forward I reckon. Ruled out anyway due to Narx crawling.

[ACT Crusader]

Argies are so desperate to go wide rather than keep sucking in the Bok defenders.

A bit of variation wouldn’t go astray either

[Stargazer]

Which bonus point rule are they using in the RC? 4-tries bp or 3-tries-more-than-opponent bp?

[Stargazer]

Not sure what to make of this game in terms of strengths of teams. Argies looked quite rusty, esp in the first half.

[mantissanet]

10 changes to SA lineup but still 18 missed tackles….Butterfingers x 2 for Kwagga but Fassi Dweba and Ntshe all solid. Not as fizzy as I was expecting but ABvOZ this am was probably fizz overload

[sparky]

Finished 32-12 to the Boks.

[Stargazer]

It's funny how the commentators kept on talking about the bonus point and then conclude that the Springboks didn't earn the bonus point. Then they show the table on screen that clearly shows they did earn the bonus point.
