@booboo that opening quarter was amazing, easily best 20 in last 5 or so years

@nostrildamus enjoying seeing one of these teams live up to the standard of the fixture.

The Boks played as well as we let them. The first 20 minutes was almost perfect rugby union. They are coming back and the first 10 minutes of the second half will be huge

Let's keep Vaai off until the 79th minute

The way shits going, he'll steal a lineout and run through 5 for a try from 25 out.

Whilst we got the neck roll call, we were a little lucky when Ioane rushed out on Eben and didn’t land the tackle.

If B. Barrett can just kick deep! He’s shown tonight that it’s been effective when he has.

Their usage of Jordie was excellent early too, but they shelved the long kicking game a bit later in the half.

It’s funny how injuries have led to Fozzie uncovering some talent. DeGroot and Lomax have been excellent since taking their chances.

@canefan very poor from Telea, he should not have come so far off his wing,,interestingly he’s not making the metres he does in Super Rugby

Not really that interesting. Does anybody?

What is interesting is he's already better than Clarke.

[KiwiMurph]

Best test 40 I can remember from Codie.

Our kicking has been excellent. Rare that has been the case lately.

@Tim I remember after Ellis Park last year, watching a SA commentary team talk up the positive difference Frizzell had in that test vs Ioane in the first. Didn’t quite believe it myself and was surprised they mentioned him so much. Obviously does some great work vs bigger packs. Looked amazing in the first 20

Surely @mikedogz isn’t still hurting from the Super final

[Damo]

Bring Samisoni on at half time.

[Machpants]

Rassie planning his next whine, I mean analysis

[Smuts]

@canefan pressure applied across park, for sure.

But also Boks did not arrive with the intensity you’d expect.

[MajorPom]

Quiet from Savea and Ioane so far. So still plenty of upside, especially with ST to get on too

[taniwharugby]

@Damo need to keep the heat on 2nd spell, can't take our foot off like we did last week.

Nah you flog the starting 15 until they get injured or tire and start making mistakes

Sends a huge message out that the ABs are an 80 minute side

[taniwharugby]

@MiketheSnow powder dry...

That's why we bring on our best tight ball carrier.

ST is not a step down from CT.
