Overthrow by Argentina and the Boks are out of immediate danger. We need points thou gh.
Argentina vs Boks - Live Match Threat
Manie with a kick to win it with a minute to go.
Manie pulls it! Pumas just need to get the ball off the park from the restart.
Penalty coming.
Well done Pumas. Final score Pumas 29 Boks 28.
but...Manie can't kick for poles...
This side had a bit of a second-string feel- however, these players need to get game time to prepare for the next World Cup as some of the legends will not make it.
Moerat was poor today. I have never seen anyone try to play from such an offside position.
I am not convinced he is a test-level player, as I rarely saw him on the pitch before.
There are some question marks around how easily the Bok defence was beaten. 4 tries in the space of 20 minutes. Never before seen in the Rassie era of defence. Are teams working on the umbrella defence?
The Springbok backline was looking poor on attack. Delande will be sitting happily as his position was never under threat after this performance.
Next week will be good. Boks needs to score more points, after a good start the ideas just ran out. Willie Leroux was missed, especially without Sasha to create breaks and space.
Argentina wins.
Moerat, Dixon, Van Staden, Manie (threw a shit pass that lost us 10m and all our momentum while we were trying to make ground at the death there on top of the missed kick) don't belong in the side. Moerat and Dixon share the "most invisible player" award.

You can't give these fast little backs the outside gap. They fixed us inside, ran around us on the outside. The Boks by contrast looked clueless out back. Dunno what Brown is doing but it ain't showing.
Also note that Argentina creates all that space outside without the need for a big 12 tractoring into traffic at the speed of half a meter per second.
Am is not a 12...AE was playing today. Why the hell wasn't he playing for the Boks!?
Agree, Am should not be at 12 again.
Congrats Argies ..................... we've been getting too windgat, good wake-up call.
Mr Preident
Sorry but that is not the function of moden 12's - the flyhalf is the pivo th is rgnizng the attackng of the backie with the 12 the first cog in te wheel. In dfnse the 12 is a key element as well.
That is why experts worldwide believe De Allede is the best 12. He is not faultless - but he is better than any other 12 in the game worldwide. Live with it.
