Noticeably quiet

Quiet or a different style of play? Didn't specifically watch him , but he seems to be playing much tighter than last year and driving closer to the ruck.

Yeah, maybe "less noticeable" maybe more apt.

This channel can always be relied on to take Bok losses hard.

TBF it was legit try

And the lines out analysis was spot on

Would much rather watch this analysis than Squidge

It's a great tactic. Just needs to be used more judiciously

Call me old fashioned but I've got great memories of Foxy's raking wipers kicks into the corners. Why not?

It must have been so demoralising for the opposition. Foxy was a machine

[BerniesCorner]

So why aren't they using this tactic more? With the 50: 22 rule there's even more reason to do so.
Not a big fan of the contestable kick

Ardie's lack of physicality

Noticeably quiet

I thought Ardie was supporting a lot and buried in rucks or Etzebeth was trying to tear his leg off--all that focus helped SF to shine, perhaps.

"analysis"

I can take these YT warriors seriously when they don't understand simple concepts such as binding. And then having the temerity to say the refs don't know what they're doing.

[Old Samurai Jack]

Great win against a quality side. Really happy about the forwards working as a unit and setting the platform for the win. Read everyone's comments about "those up and unders". Tactics or not, there were some really stupid ones by BB, no one was chasing and it just gave the ball back in an attacking position. A few phases later and the Boks score. Arguably, two of the Bok's tries came from this tactic. I really don't understand it. There is a time for it of course but there is also a time for distance and starting again in opposition territory.

Exactly. We need to do more scissors too, they work great against 80s defences. We should also highlight to the ref that the opposition are lifting their lineout jumpers, that's fucking illegal.

I find that SA analytics channel to be on the money more often than not.

A couple of others have commented - our chase was massively improved last night, with the biggest improver being Jordan. His workrate and kick chase was on a completely different level to the disinterested dross he was serving up prior to this year.

Just getting around to this now

The number of times Nesbitt calls any Books backline player with dark skin "Mapimpi" is utterly embarrassing.

To be fair it wasn't just the saffa players. I recall him calling Rieko as Richie at least once

@NTA Every fucken time Willemse got it, he called him Mapimpi. The only similarity is skin tone. Mapimpi is fucking bald!

To be fair, he's been like that for awhile..
