46:20 The French establish numbers outside. Pielie-Biarrey is loose, he has Barassi outside and Penaud inside. He decides to feed inside to Penaud, but the pass goes too far behind and Penaud drops it. As this angle clearly shows, Barassi was the scoring option as Willemse probably had Penaud anyway, but would have been hard pressed to run down Barassi plus Penaud would have been inside Barassi unopposed if another pass was needed.


Why the inside ball there with no one else in support and Boks everywhere only Pielie-Biarrey will know. Guess Penaud shouted loudest.

And then a bit of bad luck - 54:25, a nasty bounce, Sacha slips, Le Garrec is there but the ball eludes him as well otherwise it was a clean run to the tryline.


After this the French got another penalty goal and then we all know what happened.

The first one was a clear 3 on 2….commit the tackler pass to Barassi, if Willemse gets across at pace, an inside step beats him or then pass to Penaud who would have been wide open.


There was also a lineout on their feed 5 metres out they blew.


It’s amazing how they imploded the moment Esterhozen scored.

Nobody helped him to score the try. t can never be true that any teamc oached by Erasnus should neot win tests,

Uncle here is a Improved version of your Post in English, not Alien:)


"Heavens alive, can you two never stop fantasizing about rugby issues? Now, the situation is that there must be a reason why the French did not win the test. And for heaven’s sake, only Esterhuizen deserves praise for scoring a try without being part of a rolling maul…nobody helped him score that try.


It can never be true that any team coached by Erasmus should not win tests.


Amazing BS."

Who cares about opportunities missed -,I’m sure the Boks had a few, least of all 8 points missed by Sacha


The bottom line is the Boks smashed the French into submission post 60 min
