Grandpa beat me to it, but Kwagga Smith at blindside is an interesting move. Are the Springboks playing away from their traditional strength? Will he and Kilosi play left and right or perhaps will Kilosi play on the blinside but retain his no.6 jersey? Interesting move regardless. Lood de Jager wil...

In the last 4 tests the Bok 10.12 and 13s didn't beat a single defender and made only one clean break. In the Bok setup the 12 and 13 are defenders Rubbish. I do remember some carries by De Allende but not a single line-break. Hell. Watching rugby with kids in the house is not easy so I miss a lot

Only slightly related, but is there still no better metric for measuring kicking ability than successful kick %? It doesn't take into account that teams like the Boks who often score from mauls, score their tries in wide positions so the kick is harder. Handre isn't playing well at the moment, but ...

Hate is a strong word. I don't like the style of rugby Rassie employed. He did say at the function when he took over as coach that he intended to bully rugby nation's with big and powerful players. I didn't expect another 4 years of Jake. You were gushing about it at the time. I was....admittedly.....
