Springboks vs Japan 1 November 2025

Fuck Dud, dumb chip to giraffe mostert

Why does DDA kick that?

I really can't understand how this guys plays

And now DDA gets smashed back about 50m

Lots of kicking.

The last 30 of this game is gonna very tough for the poor Japanese.

There's been no parity early and it's only gonna get worse

Nice run by kwotalisi up the touch

No 2 Jap got creamed

Sacha with the try saving intercept. So calm.

Begging the question - what would the score have been without Sacha. Nothing's happened outside of him.

Beautiful intercept by Sacha under pressure.

He's 22 and it already feels cliche talking about how good he is.

Japan applying some pressure of their own now...nice to see

Hooker solid in the tackle forces the turnover.

Bit of a kickathon. Would have been a shit boring match so far without Sacha.

It has been the Sasha show again. Delande is like a lost fart in the middle field

It's a brilliant game, Pakie....DDA already has a 9.5 rating.

Japan will have to be more accurate in their passing in these conditions.

It's a brilliant game, Pakie....DDA already has a 9.5 rating.

Plum you're on a club warning for displaying batshit for brains.

Sorry Paks.

I was trying to be like the other rugby journalists

The impression was too accurate. Make it 8.5 next time.

Yeah, easy penalty try.

Gosh, and a yellow...wins.

Enough time in the half to Sacha to score two more tries

That disbelieving Jap 9 is contemplating another Pearl Harbor.

Esterhizzun has been shot so far….somuch for the shot spreaders on this site.

So, 40 minutes gone, and zero actual backline play.

England smashing Aus, 25-7 right now.

Kicking, mauling and Sacha sums up the half.

Sasha needs an inside centre as his wingman who can run off him to provide more options.

Instead, we have the cart horse Delande. Where is Willemse

Willemse is injured.

Wiese with the steal to close out the half...Sacha casually gains 50m for the lineout...mail marches up the field...nothing much coming from that.

DDA finishes the half by pissing me one more time...

There were 4 Boks joing a ruck there a few phases before the end of the half, no pressure on the ball...and somehow DDA decides to join in the ruck as well, adding absolutely nothing.

He just annoys the hell out of me.

My feed for the first time in years is totally shot….I’ll watch this later on record.

Passing thought….sub Dud off and put Hooker at 12.

Japan defense is solid, quick line speed. Boks forwards not as dominant. Very quick to close them down.

Don't know what Dud and Jessica is offering. Ball is limp by the time it gets to the wings.

DDA plays like a flanker in the center position. His first instincts are not that of a back.

Passing thought….sub Dud off and put Hooker at 12.

That will be a good call.

Oh FFS what a waste of time reviewing that. Kolisi bent at the waist, still a yellow.

my word, DDA made some ground

This is one of those "paint drying" games. DDA tractors a few yards.

How rg gets the ball out it the tackle is beyond me

Esterhuizen on at flank.

You watch Sacha and his support play is just so damn good. He's always aware and always looking to continue the momentum

The scrum immediately swings away from Esterhuizen's side as he piles on the power. What a unit.
