The three crucial moments that lost the test

81'

32-19 End of second half

80'

Argentina were outstanding tonight. They played with passion, power and a lot of panache as well. They dominated the Boks physically and scored some awesome tries out wide

The Springboks on the other hand were poor. They were second best in all aspects of the game. The have a week off, which they have to use to try and get ready for what is going to be a difficult tour of Australia and New Zealand.

The Boks need two converted tries to win. That steal on their own line could be a match winner for the home side.

The Boks turn the ball over on the Argentine goalline. The Pumas then break out and go all the way into the South Africans' 22. Play is then stopped after the medics get in the way.

 I rather believe ESPN than the serial liars Mo zart and Pakie.

This is only going to end like the Goosen sub gaff. I have the game right before my eyes. He is right. Why do you make the simple things so difficult? There is something not right here. It happens too often to always be lies. 

Mozart

Now I havc seen anything.  That video  clip is from the 19 August game where Willemse did not feature at all.   He played in the 26 August away game in Argentina

It took me 2 minutes too see what happened here.   A total  fabrication and lie to add to it.   How low can you lot go?      

Listen I have now and more than enough from lies and deception.

That video  clip is from the 19 August game where Willemse did not feature at all.

Yeeesss...the elevator clearly doesn't go to the top floor anymore.

Click here for Rugby365's match report, 18 August 2018, mentioning the intercept.

The Springboks were going left on a routine passing exercise when suddenly Matías Moroni intercepted Damian Willemse’s long pass and sprinted through uninhabited acres to score at the posts. 27-21.

They must be making it up since apparently Willemse didn't feature in that test. Just how deep does this conspiracy go?

It's very easy to see this was not played in Argentina. The stadium is not that of the Stadio Malvinas Argentinas. It was a bright sunny day in Argentina. Dry. South Africa was dark and began to rain in the second half. The camera angle in Argentina was elevated, SuperSport recorded at lower level, closer to pitchside. Here's a screen capture of where the ball was at 66:01 in Mendoza. Compare this to the video Pakie posted. Ende. 

Bringing on fresh legs after a brutal game at altitude is the done thing no ? Isnt this what any coach in Rassies position would have done especially given the score ?

You credit Rassie with somehow"losing " the game and give too little credit to the ABs for engineering their own comeback.

Wardad, the entire flow of the game was disru9ted by those substitutions. Credit to New Zealand for staging a comeback, but before Rassie unloaded the bench, the Boks were in complete control of the game. Koch, Willemse, Papier made big mistakes. As we saw already our defence was compromised severely which left us open at the back. It was a mess. Rassie completely stuffed up a win in a way one only saw Peter do. 

Isnt this what any coach in Rassies position would have done especially given the score ?

WD, no one in their right minds, least of all a coach, should consider 12 points a safe margin in the last 10 minutes against the All Blacks.

Mr Pakie the ABs were staging a comeback from the 60th minute werent they ? Still reckon you chaps are being a bit harsh on Rassie as Marx was the only unforced sub and even a player of his caliber couldnt affect things that m uch ,

Looking at the average mins. NZ bench averages 33 mins of game time. Boks 15 mins of game time. That is a massive difference. AB Players came on that replaced the player coming off. Ardie came on around end of 1st half after Canes injury. Ritchie on for Waisake. Tungafasi for Franks. TJ was massive for Aaron. I just these players all contributed. I Felt the Boks replacements added nothing. It was weird. How Boks seemed to submit. 

Moz maybe Rassie thought that 3 tries up and 15 to go meant he could give his subs some quality time in a pressure situation that  they should still have handled OK .

Pakie, can you please create a video showing play after the final penalty that led to Mo'unga's effing lucky touchfinder ........ be good to gauge how much time we had to prevent that ball slowly rolling over the chalk.

Sure Blob. Looks like about 10 seconds between the penalty being awarded and the kick taking place. Pollard is the only player who gets somewhat back. We had nobody at the back before that. Note also the terrible work Snyman and Kolisi do at that ruck. Both flop down while Ardie is grabbing the ball right under their noses.

That was poor camera work not showing the kick from hand to touch.

Thanks Pakie ......  ffs. we were never ever close to stopping that ball.

You're right about the slapgat duo .

Boldness often wins the day. He saw an opportunity and took it.

I've had it for years but have never gotten round to watching it. Now I'm curious

I think S Barrett coming round on Steph & Koch had more to do with Koch going down to be honest, but it was such a weak play all round, from the carry to the support to the lazy flopping down at the ruck. Don't know what Snyman thought he was doing by just collapsing on top of Kolisi.

Yes ma'am. Sleep tight.
