the dummy he threw was magic.....individual brilliance at its best. The service at the back of the scrum ratcheted upwards as soon as he came on. Still don't see a combination between him and Sacha but then again it's early days they might eventuate into a new Gregan/ Larkham type combo or better.
It's straight-up terrifying for a tired pack to have an opposition 9 come on and be that quick. His acceleration is really scary. When he's into a gap, he's likely also through it...and then nobody's pulling him back. For reference, he's quicker than Fassi...and Fassi basically ran around the ABs on that breakout.
Dunno, and maybe it's just me, but I feel the Boks build up a pounding rhythm more readily when he's on. It was the same on the weekend. As soon as he came on, there was wave after wave of Bok attacks happening. Granted he fumbled one, but it's still very noticeable how he gets the side rumbling forward.
