Re: Springboks vs Baabaas in Cape Town 28 June 2025
The first " Springbok " hybrid switch in test rugby experiment in the Baabaas game was a huge success. Surely it’s not the first? I’ve seen Jordie Barrett on the side of a scrum. Eric Rush at 7 & wing. Hell, an AB died this week at age 77, Robbie Stuart of Hawkes Bay. He could play prop and lock an...

The boks can now automatically switch from their 6-2 split into a 7-1 during the game if tactically required.
It will be great though if they can develop some more reversed hybrids.

Rugby's New Experiment of Backs replacing forwards.
One is used to forwards covering backs but now this is reversed with Backs covering forwards. In the Boks Baabaas game the Boks brought up a Back as a forward tactical replacement. Surely there were backs coming in for forwards before but those were mostly for injuries in an emergency. “You can have...
