A small change, Rassie going with continuity.

Papier looked pretty flimsy when he was on. Mapoe didn't have the physicality of Am. I'll be interested to see what Mostert does. Steph was pretty good. Kolisi doesn't deserve to be there. He was the worst of the starting Boks. Overall, I'm glad we get to see the Boks mostly retained.

I expect a more purposeful showing from Argentina.

I'm not a Mostet fan, he puts in a big effort just don't think he's test level.

Steph looked very comfortable in space and in contact. Eben was by far the better of the two though. 

Wait until Freifrau Mike sees Louw is back for round 2.

Actually I thought Stephanie had one of his better games, the genius Rassie must have spotted something because clearly he is going for his best team.

"A small change, Rassie going with continuity."

Yes, this makes sense.

I think Rassie did the right thing,,,continuity is the right way to build...the Puma's will be tougher in Mendoza but on the same token the near same Bok side will have learnt a bit and will have confidence from last match.

Hopefully, Mampimpi gets more space this time. He is a very dangerous runner, and his all-around game appears to have improved drastically. Playing in the Northern Hemisphere conditions is good practice for test rugby.

Mapimpi and Dynati look very good. I think Argentina will offer more on attack, so we may see more from the wings. Let's hope for an open game.
