I just think that one scrum in particular was an aberration. We just weren't connected enough, and they drove through us. Overall, the scrums were very competitive, and I thought they could have been penalised several times for boring in on an angle. That was obvious. Officials are just not penalis...

The second game against Argies @ Twickers will have a home game feeling about it with normslly 30k+ Springbok supporters coming out there to back the boks whereas Aus and Nz are playing home and away.

It's hard not to think that Rassie Erasmus had already picked his teams for both tests prior to flying to NZ. Perhaps he's a crazy genius, but I would have thought that the Springboks would have benefited playing largely the same team and building cohesion? A clunky attack doesn't usually get bette...

Once again the RC is wide open. Boks will enjoy their win but can't be too complacent with the South Americans coming up. Having a fronterower coming in on Low range much earlier in the game than last week helped a great deal in the penalties dept.

I don't think so. Next week will be the key for them. Beat NZ and they're right back into the tournament and right up the rankings again. This is a very Stupid Question.

This Bok team also has a stronger URC vibe to it. I've seen a lot of comments about our Japan-based players being a little undercooked, and I'm starting to agree there is an element of this in the Bok team. Well observed!

Congrats on defending that incredible Eden park Record. Great accuracy going 14-0 up early on and sorry to see Narawa then got injured. Good lineout spoils but some scrumwork for Wellington. The difference for me was the ABs execution in the opposition '22. The Springbok youngsters such as SFM and J...

ABs scrum under pressure but they've got the points on the board from one missed tackle and they've capitalized more from their '22 entries than the boks before HT.

No he's not on any injured list. Lood de Jager the bench choice. They could've picked R.G aswell but then they would've had a bomb squad with R.G / Franco Mostert which the ABs seems to be prepared for per their team selections.

ZuLurk

The minutes might play a part, but more so, I think it's a deliberate decision t o target bench impact and counteract the bomb squad. There is no bomb squad. The Springboks waited to see the AB team and planned tactic first before they announced theirs without a bomb squad. That's all media mind ga...

Seems a bit weird to wait for now to drop Reece. Huge game for Parker and Christie. Annoyed to have to keep waiting to see a Vaai-Sititi-Savea loose trio. Did they run Holland into the ground or is he just not ready for the Boks? I think the Holland issue is a combination of the two. In isolation h...

The ABs are overwhelming favourites taken the Springboks played at eden park over a 100 of years and let's face it there were Great Springbok teams and they've only won there 88 YEARS AGO. That gives one a 100-88 = 12. A miniscule small chance of 12% of the boks beating Nz at their eden park.
