Springboks v Pumas 1 (14 Aug 2021)

[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.

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.

[Stargazer]

By the way - and this is from the SANZAAR website - this table answers my own question. They're using the 3-tries-more-than-the-opponent bonus point rule.

[OomPB]

Great bonus point win. Springbokke can build their depth next weekend. Our scrumming and defense structure is great. Bom squad again did their job well

[Smuts]

@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+
