Both Teams are on a winning streak. Boks over the Baabaas in Cape Town and the Azzurri on tour in Southern Africa over the Welwitchias. The Springbok pack is more powerful than against the Baabaas.

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.

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.

ZuLurk

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...

Melvyn Jaminet ran a beautiful line and he deserves to score!

Normally a forward from bench will cover the backline but here a Springbok backline bench was brought in @ flank.
