is shoring up the lineout going to be enough, given they probably lose a bit of mobility and speed with an extra lock at 7(6)
-
@taniwharugby Don't imagine so. Du Toit is slow for a 6. And Etzebeth is a real plodder speed wise. But I do think Cronje has a not dissimilar effect on Boks backline as Nugget does on ours. Kitshoff won't weaken Boks at scrum time and seems to like propping against Nepo.

I love how Newlands is SA's oldest rugby stadium, and how SARFU has dragged their heels for years getting an AB test scheduled there 'cos they know how strong the support for ABs is on West Cape. Don't disappoint the home fans, boys!

The easy option us to blame the thrower for a disfunctional lineout, and I'm going to do that. Not sure 2 inches of heigh will make much difference of Marx is throwing scuds.

The excitement here is boiling over.
-
And the anthem starts off "every hoa".
-
You can count on communication problems with that group of officials. Two Frenchies, a Jap and an Englishman.
-
That was a great turnover from Whitelock; and that pass from NMS to Smith! A pity SBW butchered it.
-
Is it legal to fly over the top of rucks?
-
South Africa scored some points! Congratulations.
Laulala is really growing on my, that's a solid shoulder he hits with, always with the straightest back you've seen since Olo.
Where the hell did Read disappear to on the NMS break?
-
Patience guys.
-
Barret was lucky not to go there. Kind on stupid.
-
De Jager was clearly off side there
-
Williams has had some decent moments this year, but his decision making is a long way from polished.
-
Etzebeth holding Cane without the ball ..
-
DMacs best moment!
-
The cleaning out past the ruck is the most obvious and atrocious attempts I think I've ever seen, yet with the two frenchies it's not even being noticed. Go figure.
-
Jantjies should be penalised for that haircut.
-
Jebus. Williams again. Why pass when you can run at the biggest bloke in the opposition and their best ruck man?
-
BB is ensuring he is not going to get a quinella of worlds best awards
-
BB is having a good game thus far; try Crotty?
-
Now we wait 10 hours for the TMO to decide...

I think BB is terrible. He is shoveling on an passing to no one
-
Yes! Try given. Great finish from Crotty, after some awesome work from BB.
-
dMac kicking. Trying to allow BB to get back into natural game without added pressure?
-
BB gone?
-
Sops is on
-
@stargazer Ah,I didn't hear that. Sharing a small pub with a large group of young kiwis, obviously in their 2year UK stint.
So... loud. -
These fucking frenchies...just how?

@stargazer said in Springboks v All Blacks:
@crucial You're watching another game?
I've seen three slow passes and a pass over the sideline. When he gets a gap he's fine but he wasn't controlling the game
-
Williams is driving me as nuts as the ref.
