Argentina vs Boks- The Official Match Thread

 Do not kick the ball the ball at all. Keep it in hand for the rest of the match

 20 minutes left. Boks have to pick it up. Argies have already shown them up of they were to win it too...

 Super Subs of Boks looking good. Bringing some much needed high tempo.

Scrum to repack for fourth time!  

 Penalty against the bok scrum

WTF is happening with the collapsed scrums

 Still need Willy Le Roux to score a try for my Dream team...plenty of time and it's anyone's game.. but the Boks looking increasingly like a bunch of tired old men...

 Argies don't have depth on the bench so Boks should dominate.

 28-30 boks. 10 mins left.

Willies dive gets an 8. Argie penalty up by one 6 to go  

 bAKKIES IS AN IDIOT

Good book defence. 1 up with minute and half to go. No penalties now  

Hooter gone, final scrum to pack.  

 Boks win

Yep clawed their way back well done but big congrats to Argentina. Meyer must have been pulling his hair out during that game more questions than answers I think.  

 Well, not so sure I would be proud of that game if I was a Bok. 2 place team against 12th placed & just scrapped a win. Bok pack man handled. Backs of Argies looked better too. Congrats a scrappy win but still a win.

Still it is 4 points. Next game against Australia. Really need to up our game.
Question marks must be raised. Pollard for one was poor, when Moaning Steyn came onto the pitch he was better- however the forwards did improve with the substitutions.
If might just be a case of too much change in the backline. They looked like they were introduced to each other a few minutes before the match.
Not sure if Delande is an outside centre. Jean was a joke. Maybe switch him and Delande around. 



I dont care what Argentina's ranking is. Often they are playing without their top players who commit to their clubs. When they put their best team out- they are good.
Bismaark once the best hooker in the world should get  job as a prostitute given how crap he has been playing. He must be dropped next week for Adrian Strauss.
Bakkies Botha is stupid. We had the game under control, their player knock ons- late tackle. Twat.
The fairytale return of Juan Smith was a just that. I did not see him on the pitch. He must be dropped next week for Coetzee.

Where the F*ck was Lood? The starting front row was totally useless.

 You'd have thought they might've learnt something from watching Hugo Porta and attempted a late drop kick...Argies will be kicking themselves instead for letting that one get away...another great Houdini act though  from SA ...

Great come back. Game changed when Beast, Malherbe, Coetzee and Strauss came on.It would appear that Jannie and Bissie are simply out on their feet. Bissie a shadow of the player we know. Jannie poor. Beast was unmoveable and Malherbe fine. One penalty against him was nonsense.We can only hope his injury is not serious. This is the trouble in having too little game time before hitting the big time.
Juan did not make a statement and Coetzee was much better. Very good last 30 minutes by the Boks as they really got on top.
We can start with Hougaard and at least play Reinach off the bench. Pollard was solid but seems reluctant to try too much.
Good luck to the wee abs and wobblies when they play Argies at home. This Argies pack should take the wee abs to the cleaners! There must be some doubt possibly as to how fit they are?Louw was very good and Vermuelen okay. Etzebeth was good and Loodt acceptable but no more. Like to see Willemse in the mix.

 Hasbeeno, as you said on another thread, anyone can have an off day and the Argies clearly were not with it today.......
