Looking at the starting lineup got to say the starting forwards are good except I don't like them playing Franco Mostert at 7.

The backs is where you have problems. Willemse is a talented player but not sure he has much opportunity to train on 10 so might be rusty in that position.

Moodie I don't rank as a wing. Not such a speed merchant as other wingers in South Africa and not good on defense. He is not an international standard player for me but maybe he proves me wrong as he is so young so could get better. I don't see the fuss every single rugby expert is making about him but haven't seen enough of him. Jake White said he could become the most capped Springbok ever.
Jessie Kriel is outside center who can at times make brain dead decisions in defense and Willie at back cover also not great in defense. I am really worried Koroibete who is freakishly strong will destroy us with those 3 playing. If I was a betting man I would definitely put money on Koroibete scoring a try.
 
Nice team try. Willemse saved that attack after a loose pass.

And their no5 lock gets a yellow card for not getting back 10 meters
 
That should have been penalty but the ref says because that intercept was in Sprinbok half it is just a knockon.
 
I am not sure why they constantly kick for Moodie. He is kak under the high ball and doesn't content the kick and chase well. Our forwards make us dominate possession but our backline is aimless.
 
Lol at these ozzy fks and their surprised faces when they are penalised like they SHOULD have been last week
 
Needed that try to reflect our dominance that half, let's hope we can keep it up.
 
That score is a fair reflection of the half. We've been so much better than last week. Just need a few more passes to stick.
 
Apart from the first few minutes of us totally dominating in the Oz 22 and that moment of brilliance by Moody... It has been a tough half to watch. Oz playing very negative and slowing down and stalling everything.

Hoping for much more action in the 2nd half.
 
Like the final whistle said.

If the steak is served we must eat.

These side kicks cost us a couple of good try opportunities. We should have a lead of 26 points to be honest.
 
We just need to another try totalling dominating
