See glimpses of greatness in the Boks. I feel very confident. Nice to see Willie playing with form and confidence again. Once they are settled we'll rip them.

Willie le Roux is the most underrated player in world rugby today. The Bok brand undervalues players. If he was Australian, French or a New Zealander, heck even English he'd have even higher stock.

Listening to the Irish commentators on Sky. They rate him very very highly. Every time he takes the ball they explode :D

To be fair trying to play the AB/AUS approach against NH teams when it's a little foreign to you might get Heyneke fired at the end of this tour so let's give him a pass on this one. Trust me come the WC, both AUS&NZ will play the kicking game if they want to stand a chance to win the WWE.

The players need to get used to a flowing running type of game. They already know how to lose against the ABs with a kicking game. This is the perfect opportunity to play the ball wide and keep possession.

Irish 6-0 up. They look good to score at least 2 converted tries. Do you see the Boks scoring 20+ points for the rest of the match?

100% And I like what I'm seeing. They just need to settle and we'll see :)

I suppose you're right but if I was in HM's shoes I would've done the same. If it was ITA(or SCO) up first, yeah, but IRE followed by ENG?
