Boks v Pumas II - Twickers

One change to Springboks XV for Rugby Championship title decider
South Africa loosehead prop Ox Nche is set to start against Argentina on Saturday at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium for the final match...

Hard to know what's going to happen in this game. SFM will almost certainly be targeted and shut down. He's been very injury prone, so we will see how that goes. The boks have more gas in the tank, so I expect the argies will run out of puff in the last 15 minutes or so.

I wondered if the Pumas had decided in last 15 to conserve enrrgy for this week?

Hmmmm.? Contepomi looked completely defeated in his post match interview, he's a good actor if that's the plan. I guess its possible, but I got the idea that they just didn't have an answer, like the ABs the week before. They didn't give up, they were just blown out of the water

So despite what I had heard, Damian is good to go and starts again at 15.
That means the backs are unchanged.
Ox is back, so a bit of reshuffling on the bench - delighted to see Bongi there.
Ditto for Grant Williams.5-3 split.
I feel a bit for Andre Esterhuizen, but Jessie getting a run out is good too.
Same goes a bit for Pollard, but it seems we are doubling down on Tony-ball. -

It. Will. Be. Raining.
Meh.
Not sure that favours any of the 2 teams either way.
It will be what it will be.
And, (don't shoot me right now), maybe by that time the Wallabies will have done the dirty on the ABs already

Running out of replacements would have been quite a bitter pill. Hard to beat Boks with 14 players!
