I find that very hard to believe given they were outdone on the gainline by Scotland and Ireland. This could b like 2019, when nearly 80% of their production in the tournament came from the game against Canada. The Boks are weak on the gainline, we haven't been very physical on the gainline on attack and defence for many years now. We need to support punch runners with two to three players driving behind. That's not a team of powerful runners. On defence, we continually get beaten and bludgeoned.

What stats? From which games? I know what I've seen, and the Boks have not been more dominant that their top tier opposition. The Boks without freely given space are helpless.

You are correct Plum the ex Irish hooker and the host made the point and gave the stats in the clip I shared. 

Poor Deus watches the Bok matches so filled with rancour and bias he definitely will find it strange. He will also find it strange that people like this talk about Bok physicality, skill and attacking ability.

It's all very strange for poor Deus who lives in his own fantastical world farcl removed from rugby reality.

We finished bottom of the RC for tackling, and linebreaks. Over the past two seasons our defence is 77%, and we have never peaked for gainline dominance. If you want to add fluff against minnows, that could account for an increase, but even then, Tonga were better. You have yet to provide any references for anything Beanbag. You're not a Book supporter, you're an Erasputin supporter. You cannot be both.

We may get over the gainline…but we don’t get clean breaks. Tractoring produces nada,

What is exposed? Nothing. The Boks were exposed for line integrity and physically against Scotland and Ireland. Our creampuff low iq defending was on full display. Of course, that's what Saddex likes, heavy (not physical) oafs meandering around like cavemen with dementia.
