So, 2 locks can pick up a player and walk him over the tryline with the ball. Defence cannot tackle the lifters and cannot touch the guy in the air? I think this is deliberate "obstruction". The boks could have driven a legal maul instead but I think the coaching is simply testing the WR rule inter...

No, it would be a penalty then for playing him in the air. The boks are exploiting the Rule a bit.
But you can't block the chasers/defenders

Yep brilliant breakdown work.

He plays for Benetton in the URC and played 33 tests for Italy

Andre' Esterhuizen should move to the flank now and rather play less one in the backline

ZuLurk

The Springbok scrum is going forward and it creates the space for some enterprising backline play from the Springboks.

I expect a win but another frustrating one.

What is up with Kolisi's injury?

The flanker was fit to play but the coaching staff decided not to risk him.

ZuLurk

Several changes to the Springbok team that will face Italy in the second test on Saturday.

- Willie Le Roux to get his 100th cap
- Salmaan Moerat to captain (c)
- 3 uncapped players on the bench
- 7 players retained from last weeks team.

With No FERRARI anymore, replaced in the 18' by Hasa, it is not looking good for Italy.
