Corn i 100% agree with you on Wilco and Steenekamp….and isn’t the HIA tactics, similar to what Rassie used in the WC Final resting PSDT ?? // " One wonder how much more they would have been beaten by once Ox, Marx and Koch came on. " // most probably what they were trying to avoid, but in the end it didn’t help much as the driving mauls finished OZ.
Also, you are meant to replace those front rowers with other front rowers...which they did have, but used a loose instead, if I'm not mistaken.

' similar to what Rassie used in the WC Final resting PSDT"
I do thnk that in the WC finals in 2019 and 2023 Du Toit played te full 80 minutes the games lasted, Please expain your comment as, quoted.
Players get spotted by medical staff and touch assistance as well as the TV refs to take players off the field.
I don't think PSDT actually needed a rest. Most tackles ever made in a world cup final

This is really fishing to me, but all 3 Ausie props went off with HIA and some how failed to past the test and could not get back onto the field.
One wonder how much more they would have been beaten by once Ox, Marx and Koch came on.
Let's be honest, that wasn't our best tight five nor our 2nd best. We know that Steenkamp and Wilco Louw should be the next in line. So the Aussies made sure that they didn't have to compete.
Joe Schmidt was all perplexed on how his players all failed their HIA.
I smell a rat here.
If the props went of injured then the Aussies had to loose a player, but because of the law, and all 3 deemed to have a head injury, meant that the Aussies could keep 15 players on the field.
At the time, the Aussie broadcaster did share that information neither did the commentators.
Anyway, if we lost I think it would have led Rassie to making another video to try and find how these guys got a head injury
