Springboks make 10 changes for Los Pumas showdown
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has made 10 changes to his starting team for their penultimate Castle Lager Rugby Championship clash against Los Pumas in Santiago del Estero on Saturday.

Marx starting for a change. Rassie look like favoaring Moerat specially as captain. As a Stormer supporter I dont get this but then many feel the same about Kolisi when he was appointed. The bench look like a bom squad again. Libbok is attacking , hope we dont have to rely on a place kick for a win.

There is something about Moerat. He needs to stay healthy and get a run of games. Then we can judge.
Slightly different with props, but at this stage of Malherbe’s career I was cursing the Cape media & Paarl rugby mafia for pumping up an oke you could find around every braai.
MoerRegsensommerlinks is tough and smart. Right from his first top flight games at the Stormers he quietly but effectively sorted out more than a few test veterans who thought they could bully Willemse and the other Stormers laaities.
That’s all a bit of a sideshow - teams with him in them tend to win more than they do when he’s not in them. Maybe he’s been lucky so far. But I doubt it.

Another try to the Boks. 14-0.
Far too easy, man they have plenty of depth.

17-0 to the Boks now. 13 mins gone.

Argentina score 7-17. Just like last night some pretty average defence.
