Clearly the players have little confidence/understanding of what the new game plan is.

20. RG Snyman – 4
Initially coming on as a blood replacement for Etzebeth, Snyman remained on the park as Mostert trudged off in the 17th minute with an injury. Acutely aware of his offloading threat, Ireland dedicated defenders to targeting the ball when tackling him, which saw him stripped a few times and nullified in open play.

What a load of shit that take on RG is - he was never striped once. He had a good game
Moz I never saw a game plan in that first half. All I saw was kicks being put in too deep conceding possession and Faf yet again being inaccurate, indecisive and generally erratic
Good character by the side to dominate the second half and turn the game around only to lose it instead of close it out as they did in the WC
Individual error by v Staaden in the carry at the end - usually a safe bet given his strength but he fucked up
Really disappointed that that last scrum was not a repeat of the last one in the first test - that is what our scrum should have achieved
We were off today - that Kolbe drop, the Kwagga botch with the line in front of him - instead of trying to pick it up he should have kicked it through. As for that attempted kick through by Faf close to their line - I wanted to smash the telly :)
What the fuck was that?

We had a Bok WC done on us
Epic contest - shit first half by Boks thanks to poor out of hand kicking by Polkard and Faf along with another shit game by Faf
Great Bok comeback in the second half only to fail to close it out thanks to v Staaden knocking on deep in their half with less than a minute to go
What a game by Sacha
Irish series is done it’s time to bring in some new blood
Kwagga is not an 8
