Try Fassi.

Fassi is a thorough bred stallion.

These boys are playing hard..pray no injuries

The boys need some bumps to get them battle hardened.

Only worried about Pollard, PSDT, Willie and the two locks. We have enough depth in other positions.

Ox having a good outing

Lineout looking good, but mauls are a bit fragile.

Etsebet keeping a few busy

Sjoe.
If that was a steak & kidney pie Frans would not be losing it like that.

Don't need that

Second turnover against him losing ball on attack

Ox and Bongi are going to have some fun together at the Sharks

Very sloppy out there.

Tight 5 looking good. Happy with them so far (bar mauls).

+ pen, he's playing proper kak

Frans has been busy but careless

Why is Malherbe playing at 12 tonight?

Early shove. Hardly kak....

A bit of a worry yes, but always an area where Georgia was going to be very strong.

More worried about our discipline which has been very poor.

Good to see Willie in action again

It looks like the Boks are very under coached and needs some leadership when it comes to discipline.

Need some discipline in the forwards.
Going to lose this game

We need a Laws thread but that early shove by South Africa in the scrum made me think...

If a team gets a scrum penalty and elects to take another scrum then the scrum should be moved forward at least 10m toward the opposition tryline. There is no real penalty if the team transgressing just get to contest another scrum in the same place.

Thoughts?

It's the European superstars. You wouldn't think they need coaching

LOL, classic Willie…does something amazing, gets carried away, and tries something stupid. Sometimes it works and he looks like a genius, sometimes he fluffs it and looks like an idiot.

Love that guy.

It was a free kick.

In general terms, a team doesn't have to scrum again, they can take a lineout, or a tap, or anything else they fancy.

Nothing wrong with that scrum

I like the concept and the idea in theory, but practical application has challenges me thinks. Marching both packs backwards and resetting the scrums is going to chew up a lot of time.

Yes I know.

That wasn't what I asked though.

Just give the ball to Fassi...from anywhere

Springboks look like a side that hasn't played for eighteen months.

Rassie and both the Frans's must be on the same diet

Willie L has played recently and he’s kicked it out on the full from an attacking position twice

The Lions would batter these sides atm.

Fat Frans Malherbe show what a Tight Head need to do

I expected it to be sloppy and disjointed, but it’s been quite disappointing despite my low expectations.

There is a lack of focus, lack of intensity and lack of basic execution.

Boks always look lackluster when playing minnow nations. For some reason they only perform when they are really fired up and want to batter the opposition. Not feeling that today and it’s showing.

Hopefully a halftime kick up the backside will help.

Should be a try.

That should be awarded
