Springboks vs France 3rd Test

Warren Whitely out and Etzebeth named the captain.Perhaps they could have tried Kolisi as captain? Is he vice captain now?

 We on. The last round between quota loaded teams.

After NZ manhandling the lions this morning, it is the last opportunity for SA to pretend by facing a weaker team.

Good loose forward trio.
Will be interesting to see what Jaco Kriel brings in a full game

 So many resources spent on hiring that actor, fireworks, flames etc

When the teams are unable to push some show, it might be needed.

 The national anthems, the best moment in the game.

 Great crowd

Hope that early brainfart from Hougaardt is not a sign of things to come. 

Good first touch for J Kriel.  

Serfontein two turnovers in first six mins. 

Jessie Kriel has start ed this season well for the Boks

 Kick chase so much better this year

Jantjies kicking well, but is fully  member of the judo tackle club

Mostert is a good tackler. 

French haven't come to play.

And Hougaardt passes it to no one.

 Where's Dave to tell us how good Hougies passing is.

Two missed connections for Whiteleys replacement in lineouts. Maybe go somewhere else?

Nothing kick from Hougaardt off turnover ball. 

 Hougie looking a bit clumsy at the breakdown. He is better as an impact player once space opens up.

He is not a test scrummy.  

Etzebeth picks up the French lock like a toothpick. All this phase play against us will lead to tries in the RC.

Can't believe the Frogs brought back that useless 15.

Yes, a better team that the French would have scored more tries from all these opportunities during the course of 3 tests. The French have been poor at finishing

Boks still struggling with maul from a lineout

They are talking about Kolisi's good carries....huge hype. So far he has 1 metre in 3 carries.

 The game is so poor they mixed in footage from the second test.

The hero of the 1st scrum was the Beast who destabilized the whole left side...more bs.

So far Rhule, 1 tackle made...2 missed. Hougaard wins a penalty, but man his service is poor.

The Silky  Boot of Jantjies is working well

Hougie with a great turnover, but he's a wing. No scrummie

Some good traditional Bok tackling.

 Hougaard lucky not to have been penalised for not supporting his body weight.
See what you mean now about Stransky, Pa ki

And the useless French 15 drops the ball.....we are much better than last year.....but the French are a short ruler.

 xavi, Hougaard did support his body weight, until he was pulled over the ruck by a French player. 

Second Dreyer penalty.

 @ Sharkie, check again, one hand on the floor past the ball and scooping with the other.

 Wilco kicked ass last night...

Scrum looking shakeyHougie looking shakeyMauls have been poorLineouts a confusion
Worst test of the three so far. hopefully 2nd half is better

 Lol, Serfontein getting around. Try Eben.

Frogs just hand over possession..Bok try....Etzebeth vs Serin no contest.
