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.
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.

Jeez, weak defence from the Boks.

Real shame that was disallowed
Great determination from Lowe

That looks nasty
-
That Saffa scrum will be on many a highlight reel.

Weirdest game for him. Ends with 3 try assists and a rough overturned try.
Pity two of his assists were to the boks.
Arguably both sides’ best player.
