Springboks vs Pumas 1

[W32]

Rassie certainly not taking any chances. The argies are capable of a good ambush, as our esteemed forum colleagues know so well.

Still 10 changes

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.

[Smuts]

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.

@Smuts 🤣 I know Paarl mafia well, specially Gim's side. However Moerat, fat Frans and Tank is from the blue side. SIddie is also a blue Boishaaier. Frans Malherbe is from my neighbour's Bredasdorp. He still take smoke breaks during practices.

[Smuts]

@OomPB SIddie?

[Duluth]

Boks 7-0 after 4mins

Simple defensive error in the backs

[Duluth]

SA playing well but this defence is shit

[Canes4life]

Another try to the Boks. 14-0.

Far too easy, man they have plenty of depth.

[Kruse]

Game is following the same script as last night thus far.... will the Springboks fold like a wet napkin as well?
Like fuck they will.

[Canes4life]

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

[W32]

Hot at 38 degrees. Can the heavies keep it up?

[Canes4life]

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

[W32]

Pumas so dangerous in broken play

[W32]

Ref good so far

[Kruse]

Soft yellow card.
Boks with 14 on the field, 14 off the field .

[W32]

Really poor from the boks there

[Canes4life]

Is it fair to say the Argies are better than us atm? Some great rugby so far in this game.

[Canes4life]

Argies take the lead. Awesome stuff, 19-17. Kick to come.

Refs are going upstairs.
