Wallabies v Springboks 1

@OomPB said in Wallabies v Springboks 1:
@Duluth He is a very talented 10. Played most of his Stormers rugby in 12 when Willemse isnt around. 10 is best position and will try and dominate by foot and ball. Also captained the SA u20 team. Sort of Damian Willemse player but a very good place kicker.
Fell off a few tackles at the end of the 2nd Ireland game. Doesn't bode well for the big games. Willemse is a very good defender, it remains to be seen if Sacha can be the player we want him to be at this level.

Hmmm, I don't think Oz are anywhere near Ireland - on the other hand - Brisvegas brings out the best in them and, historically, the worst in the Boks.

Then maybe they should ask for banjos at all of their matches.

Honestly looks like Schmidt is playing a long game with these selections - especially in the forwards

I wonder if Schmidt was tempted to go with a 6:2 bench to match the Boks.
If they didn’t have a couple of injuries in the loose forwards he may have considered it.

Bomb squad will be licking their lips at the prospect of Nonggorr coming on. Not the best scrummager

Out for personal reasons, his father passed away this week.
