Springboks v England - Test #1
-
so England shooting for 5 in a row!
-
@hooroo couple of betting agencies have SA @ ~1.60-1.70 and England ~2.20-2.25
will be an interesting game, not sure it will tell us a great deal though.

SAF don't look as good as I was expecting. On Paper.
5, 4, 3, 2 would be a worry?
Although I don't have name-recognition yet with the young black-african outside backs.
Eddie with a master-stroke of deflection. No one will be paying Shields' selection attention anymore. It's all WTF is Brown doing on the wing.

I'm looking forward to watching Nkosi and Gelant. Very inexperienced, but both looked classy in Super Rugby. The big question - as with any new player - is whether they can do the same tricks at test level.
I hope Pollard can stay injury free; there's so much daylight between him and Jantjies, who I don't rate at all.
Van Zyl, apart from his name, I can't remember him from SR, but I'm not a fan of Faf de Klerk, so that will interesting.The Springboks will miss Marx.

I think Rassie will be suicidal to not put Louw on at 3. Mostert at 5 isnt terrible. Bongi at hooker gives away 25kg+ and 10cm to Both Marx and Bismark. Hell Bongi couldnt even find a starting berth at the Stormers the whole season
Gelant to be a bok 15 for a while to come IMO, I suspect Rassie is just looking for some experience in that backline for now.

It's funny how the lock one step up behind him, RG Snyman, had to move to the side to get in the shot.

Spoiler: this is not the u/20 bok team.

That was a cripple fight between defensive retards.
Vomited a little when I saw Brad "English" Shields heading out.

I was thinking Nikosi (? Bok14) was pretty much going to butcher everything and anything that looked like a try.
Nek Minnut...
(Daly ups the ante in ”I'm more incompetent than you“)
2 tries -

@kruse And at lock, all South Africa for the past 15-20mins
Did the turnaround coincide with Shields?
Best saboteur ever?Haha, the downfall started earlier I think.
Looks like a barbarians game, nice tries but some questionable defence too -
Shields has been about as much use to the England pack as a chocolate teapot

I saw him make a tackle earlier.
Not many chocolate teapots could do that. (although, he did have help)
