Well done Boks. Good 2nd half.
Yes, I mentioned on a thread earlier this week that Nykani is better at loosehead, even though he is solid at tighthead. He is a swinger that must be on the bench. He is more effective in the loose than many props, making him a good impact player.
Overall the impact players/bomb squad did well. Marx looks like he's starting to get back to his best form which is offsetting the loss of Vermeulen at the breakdown. Marx should start he first test, and perhaps play the whole game if he is in the form of this test.

Congratulations Boks on a fine win.
Only saw the 2nd half but the Lions weren’t allowed to play and had no answer. Bok scrum demolished the Lions once Nykani came on!

Makes a big difference when your loosehead has Lood vs Mostert behind you. Also having Marx at 2 is a huge bonus
I keep banging on that Mostert is not physical enough for test rugby and he keeps proving me wrong
Trevor has been a bloody rock in the scrums for some time now, had a bit of a dip lately but he is back to his best
Very handy having him able to pack down at 1 and 3
