Well, waited the whole day for this. Disappointed really because this was supposed to be the game of round 3.
 
Clear Red for me. Not smart.

Even before the red and continuing afterwards SA have again made too many mistakes.
 
Has the rule not changed that for a Red you can bring someone back after 20 minutes? Is that only for 2 yellows or maybe its just the provincial games?

It was trialled in Super Rugby and then carried through into the Rugby Championship. It is still up in the air whether it will be trialled globally, but as I understand it needs review.

It was only a southern hemisphere experiment. Doesn't apply for these internationals.
 
6 point deficit at the break with a player down. Would have taken that at the start of the match.

I think that's because the Boks are trying to play rugby now, no kicking up n unders and hoping for the luck of the bounce.

If The Boks play the second half with ball in hand, the lads will win this game.

Absolutely, I'm quite surprised at the come back being a man down. We've cleaned up our game today, and looking a lot more expansive, taking the French on in the maul and out wide. Glad Marx is back on, definitely a momentum swing since his arrival.

If we can keep going for another 40 minutes we still may be in for a chance, but it's tough on the forwards 1 man down. It would be remarkable if we can keep the momentum going to the 80th, but miracles can happen!

P.S Cheslyn you beaut, 54m out, no mean feat, even Steyn would be proud of you.. and for someone whose not a even a traditional place kicker!
