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

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.

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

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.

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@BerniesCorner said in All Blacks Vs Springboks RC Week 2:

Not a big fan of the contestable kickExactly. 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.

TBF it was legit try

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

I see them as idiots like us Ferners but who have decide to switch a camera on and talk rather than rant away in threads. In saying that, if YT existed in my early 20s when I was an uber rugbyhead I probably would have done a channel myself.

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

One time, Willemse got the ball, and he said "Willemse with the ball now... no it's Mapimpi"

Re the exits thing in general.
I reckon we saw one of the issues with RWC cycles here.
I reckon they were adopting a strategy for this game of utilising those up and unders inside their own territory.
I recall watching a match a year or more (and more) ago, and Rod Kafer talking about that tactic that England were using, to bomb it to about 40m out, get a chaser to jump into the catching zone to disrupt, and even knock the ball on. Worst case result: scrum to opposition. (Well, actual worst case is their possession). Was a good exit tactic.
Bokke did exactly this to us couple of years ago.
But what I mean about the World Cup cycle is I think we were seeing testing of a specific tactic. One that we can use on occasion.
Whilst it smacks of dry powder I think it's a thing.
Like 2011 where it was obvious different tactics were used in the tests before the RWC.
Another thing that they seemed to do a bit was the pick and go through the ruck: where dude looked to be a cleaner, then picks ball at his feet. Suspect tactic to drag the D in closer. Noticed it several times. Not something I've seen us do much of.

Seemed to stop that after 20 or so?
