Springboks vs Scotland . . .

Bit tight for first 70 min. PSDT and Grant Williams making a difference. 

Now question, who will Rassie select next week? 

Pollard converts and it's over. 32-15. A comfortable win in the end but it was anything but convincing. Poor selections by Rassie in my opinion and hopefully a big wake up call.

Scots tied hard against an experimental Bok side but eventually cracked in last 15 minutes. 

Pity about that red. 

"Esterhuisen had a good game."

Yes, he's about the only starter in this game to emerge with any credit.

AE was useless. Earlier on he had a few good runs but faded away. Only a nutjob would argue he us better than Allende a very good  well rounded center.

This obviously was not our best team. 

I expect we'll see wholesale changes for the game against England. Fassi, Kolbe, Arendse, Kriel, Williams, PSdT, Siya, and Wilco should all get a start.

TX ........ commentary better than game.

Couldn't watch due to other engagements but sounds like I didn't miss much.

The fact is he S pringboks played substandard rugby.   I saw Briwn talking seriously to one of he assistance and it ovuiysky was he poor backline issues,    cneters around the malfucioning of he backline.   There wwere serious problems in defense and worse in attack,   So Pollock was good - Esterhuizen was poor and Am sunstandard as well,    

Esterhuizen was poor and Am sunstandard as well,   

From your prized Rugby365:

12 Andre Esterhuizen
Produced some powerful surges, often getting over the advantage line and his 10 bursts yielded more than 50 metres. Add in a team-high 13 tackles and you realise his true value.
8/10

Eat your heart out ouMaaik & ffs. have an early night ................ your posts are becoming incomprehensible.

G ained enar to zero meers - caused a penalty and his defense was not acceptable.  Howeve the backline never really function from an attacking perrspective and that incident where he failed to prperly tackle cased the scoring of e disallowed try - ecause in the ball preceeding that backline a ball were dropped fowards,   The try was disallowed because of a knock-on esrlier otseen b the ref and if it ws not fond out on review a try by he S  cots would ave followed,   One cannot take a chance with that type of thing,      Alsoave away a penalty,   e it as it may agains  His performance as an attackin g backline player was as dead as a doornail.and I think that w what upset Brown abdlly.   I saw none of the above and the bursts of 50 meterds ere BS.   If that was rue h abckline would ahve been dangerous - the wo tries scord er both crosskicks to .   The fifty meters did nt rpoduce a single line brreak or beating a single defender anyway.      

I was at the game today and I have switched seats from half way line to 2nd or 3rd tier behind the posts. 

The flow and threats presented and nullified are very obvious to see. It's just never a perspective the TV will show. We were sloppy ... poor on attack today... distribution and accuracy from the base seemed to be a big issue as well as speed in our unstructured attack . There was little cohesion in attack but our defence and scrambled defence was really quite special to watch. I know he has his haters but watching Willie  organise the backs is like having a coach on the field. Bar the French game I have seen all the Bok RWC knock out games since 2915. We are becoming a  really formidable force winning a lot of games we definitely would have lost pre 2015. My biggest concern is the post Rassie era. The player identification is on track but what about the coaching....
