SA vs France test one

It is on.

 It is going to be forward oriented.

 What line ups. It is going to be good. Another dimension in rugby playing.

 Quotas hitting hard on that FR squad.

 Huge fireworks going on.

 Sa team entering the field with an underdfed kid who lost one eye to malnutrition.

 Go Bokke!!!!!!

 WW2 planes flying in the sky.

 First scrum.

 Already kicking away possession.

 A lot of nervosity, teams are shaking in their boots.

 It is going to be good.

Malherbe does his isual belly flop.

France making lots of silly mistakes.

 French forwards seem to pull more and more.

Stransky sickeningly over the top.

 Very poor scrums. It is going to be good.

 SA losing more and more on the collision line.

 French big man is back on.

 It has been an open game so far. Jantjies having his best test to date. Seems to be a more Lions style so far. 

 SA player conditioning in question. They seem already out of breath and it is 28'.

 It is the moment for FR to score. SA as often is one missed tackle from a disaster.

 SA  try against the tide of the game.

 Lions players all looking better with an open game plan. Fewer players going to ground, and instead keeping the ball alive

Where was the left wing? France Score

 FR try as expected. SA dissolving.

 SA n15 clueless on the cover.

 Half time. Poor game so far. Only the first test.

 FR seem refreshed and came back with a change in mentality.

 What a tackle.

 And the missed tackle, try for FR.

SA rugby as dry as ever and FR look more disciplined than first half time.

Might be the beginning of the end.

 Ref to the rescue to help sterile SA: penaly try.

Ludicrous man in the air call.....Kitshoff propelled Mostert into the Frog.

 SA try out of a line out trick.

Stepfontein soooo slow he can't outsprint the Frog prop to the corner.

Great hands by Frans, Stephanie stripped.

 End. Poor game between two poor sides.

Good win boys !! , although competition needs to be considered. Full strength French side next week? 

 Not at all a bad display but as has been said how good are these frogs.I would much prefer Combrink on the wing. 

 T, are you trying to be an ars.e or dies it come natural?

That was a good win. Fair play to the boys, France obviously under-strength but you can only beat what is in front of you.

Beast and Malherbe were average really, didn't offer much in general play, but they weren't terrible.
Marx was a damn monster, frightening prospect. Etzebeth and Mostert look like the makings of a good combination.Kolisi and Whitelely were excellent, both had good games. Don't really know what Oupa brings to the table. Du Preez to start the next game hopefully.Ross Cronje took his chance, he had a good game and deserves the chance next week.Janjties with his best game so far, good goal kicking too.Skosan and Rhule didn't see much ball. Would like to see Combrinck come in for Rule
Serfontein was quiet, bar the try. Jesse Kriel had a good game and always looked dangerous. Andries Coetzee was great, took his chance with both hands. 

All in all, there's definitely some positives there.
