And again we just kick it away. The Argies own us in kick fielding but we keep doing the same thing. So fucking braindead.

Face it Dud Allende would never have made that offload in 100 years….brilliant by the Hozen

Brilliant offload by Andre out of a terrible pass by Sacha gets Moodie away to release Edwill.

At last some good handling by the Boks and Edwill is in to score. Esterhuizen seemed to fumble it but then Moodie and Fassi both did well to release Edwill.

Not sure the Boks deserve to be level at half time but I'lkl take it. There's the hooter and it's 10-10.

Very scrappy and disjointed performance so far. Hope Rassie gives them hell.

@Pakie AE freed up Moodie but Moodie made the try. Let's just agree they both did well . . . and Fassi kept his composure too . . . as did Edwill.

Pakie08 Aug 2026, 20:11

@Rooinek without Andre cleaning up another kak pass with an offload not many would have pulled off that was just another broken down Bok attack. The offload undid all the momentum killing damage the pass did by engaging the defenders and opening the space.

Agreed Paks

We can't expect the backs to do anything when every single ball takes extra long to come from Reinach. He doesn't seem to ever want to speed the game up.

At two of the scrums, he could see them going to shit but stands there with his hands on his hips.

I don't get why we can't set Andre up to run onto the ball at pace a bit more. He's the biggest 12 in test rugby but almsot everything is standing start stuff

Rooinek

Rooinek08 Aug 2026, 20:12

Well he did drop a clanger early on but yes, I'm sure we'd all like to see a bit more pace in the backline.

Wouldn't mind seeing AE at 7. Don't keep Eben and Lood on too long. Two pact locks in Wiese and Jason Dixon could help. Morne at scrummie and Pollard at 12.
Interesting to see what Rassie does.

Argies have a long period of possession but it breaks down, Fassi hoofs it away and it nearly turns into a great kick as Hooker chases. Goal line drop out.

Hooker with a good run and the Boks are close . . . Is Grobelaar over? They're going way back to check if Eskom was in touch about 8 phases ago. Get a grip.
