Expected a bit more changes; I would definitely have gone for Lambie at flyhalf. He really needs the game time.
 
Win the game then make changes... a Test is a Test, not a trial match! Remember that HM will get measured on how many Tests he has won!

+1, I would also Have liked to see lambie get some game time. But he well then ten to one be played against Samoa.

I would also have liked to see Jean get a rest (even if he was just benched).
 
OT: Pretty impressed with the following players from the u20 squad, they should definitely make it into the boks one day:

1. Handré Pollard
2. Cheslin kolbe
3. Jacques du Plessis
4. Seabelo Senatla
5. Sti Sithole

Pollard seems to have his kicking back. Kolbe imo was brilliant and 100% what we in SA need. I great attacking fullback that is great in the air and defends like a lion.

What an insane game. Those tries were crazy good!

First time the Frenchies have been kept scoreless against the ABs.

Yeah, AB in a different class. Even without Carter and Richie. The quality in their rugby never ceases to amaze.
 
Or ....... we could look at the unblinkered version - Scotland are playing average and we're playing like utter shyte and we need a massive wake up to not look like jokes.
 
Should go better in the 2nd half seeing as we down to their 3rd team just about.

Luckily they didn't send their strongest team.
 
What.the.hell ........... bunch of clowns on the field.

Where is our structure?
