Great rugby weekend. Good win for Boks and Argentina.
The Bok support in Brisfontein was amazing.

High praise for the Boks. They won’t like that, being favourites.
What a Wallaby heaping praise on the Springboks!

JK the scrum hater complaining that NZ didn’t get scrums that they can get penalties from.

Great win by the Boks. Terrible how the Wallabies have regressed. And another shock by the Pumas by beating NZ! This rugby championship is gonna be good. Also, well done to my Lions by putting 50+ past the Pumas.

Interesting that they've gone for both Manie and Handré on the bench. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

Probably just a greater range of cover. Pollard covers 10 and 12, Libbok covers 10 and 15.
Those forward replacements though... Imagine what Aus will feel when they have been put through the ringer and then at 55 minutes, Etzebeth steps onto the field.

Wow, a boatload of changes! It's good that Rassie wants to experiment but I hope it pays off.

This has to be the lowest number of caps in a starting XV we've had for quite some time

A really good read on the current dilemma in Aussie rugby

Jake White: 'I feel for Joe Schmidt, the problems run so much deeper'
The narrative, understandably, emanating out of last weekend’s 33-5 drubbing by the Boks, has been about how good Rassie’s men were...

Do not rate 2 or 4 .... hopefully this much change doesn't mean a confused change of pace, handing the aussies a win

I'm guessing you're not much of a Bulls fan.

Ballsy selections... hugely ballsy. The last time we saw this was in a losing 2nd test against Wales at home...
