@Smuts said in Springboks vs Ireland:
If this is wrong I don’t want to be right:
Irish tighthead was in trouble from the start. SA loosehead didn't even have to start with his arse pointing at the sideline.
Is this because one had played a half of rugby already? Probably a discussion better suited to https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/5422/the-current-state-of-rugby/1517 but in my mind substitutions should only be for injury.

I'm looking forward to the game.
All sorts of different styles in test footy.
I'll be focussed on this game after ABs game and Wallabies game have finished
The intrigue of Razor's first test - 16 odd months since he was named coach and what Schmidt can do with rock bottom expectations is taking a lot of attention.

3am is a bit shit for me. May try a replay though, but I tend to get accidetnally spoiled these days

If it wasn’t for me there would only be 4/5 posts on probably the biggest match ytd. I think there something in that.
Your posts are just saying I don't want to watch this game because it'll probably be shit and it will demonstrate everything wrong with modern rugby.
Bones' memes are better.

Well according to virtually every South African fan, world rugby has worked tirelessly to depower the scrum to stop the boks gaining an advantage , so those scrums will be a thing of the past surely?
And about time to! 😂

Of course the Irish TH was in trouble from the start. He is at almost every scrum. He’s weak and cynical.
I don’t understand your second sentence.
The answer to your question is probably not.
In URC Irish TH routinely gets fucked up like this regardless of stage of game/relative fatigue levels.
Equally, SA LH routinely fucks up other props regardless of stage of game/relative fatigue levels.
They are both starting on Sat so we’ll get to see.

How many hours will this game take to play?
Or how many minutes of rugby will we actually get in 80?
-
That looked too easy for SA.
-
I'm loving the camerawork from sideline. The way they are getting ahead of the action so you see it straight on is fantastic.
-
Only caught the last 20 minutes because there’s no legal way to watch in Canada.
But boks attacking ambition combined with Doris and Baird visiting McCaw’s tailor giving Ireland a big edge at the breakdown. Combined with a huge amount of heart from the Ireland kept them in it.

Luke Pearce not taking any prisoners.
