can't find fault with the team, except for Salmaan. I'm not sold on him yet.

Agreed. What the odds of him being subbed for an injury before being subbed as part of the strategy?

Coaches must see something in him. And I'm speaking on behalf of every coach since his school playing days. The lad is rated, very highly.

Spare a thought for Argentina when both Eben and Kwagga come on at the same time

You seen the weather forecast for Saturday? Madness... Actually dangerous playing in these conditions.

Huh? Weather looks good. Or am I missing an inside joke here...

Probably be cooler at the kick off time, 30C maybe. That's fairly uncomfortable. Aussies were gassed at 30 minutes. They've mentioned the heat being a factor. Same for both teams but maybe the Argies are better acclimatized... I think if it were around 40C at kick off the game could be cancelled. I seem to remember a game being called off with a kick off temp of 42C. Sure, 30C is a far cry from 42C...

True. I do think though that the last few years of playing in the URC may stand us in good stead from a conditioning perspective as we've had to play matches in the middle of our Summer, something Australia hasn't done.
 
Listening to the team announcement presser, Rassie sounds terrible. His voice. Hope it's just that. He doesn't seem at all well...
 
SFM ruled out of the return leg against Argentina in Nelspruit. Apparently he was concealing a knee niggle before the first NZ test.

Springbok flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu “gambled” with his Springbok place by playing with an injury in the second test against the All Blacks in Cape Town.

This came to light as coach Rassie Erasmus confirmed that Feinberg-Mngomezulu was ruled out of next week’s Castle Lager Rugby Championship finale against Argentina at a sold-out Mbombela stadium in Nelspruit after struggling with a knee injury.

The injury will keep Feinberg-Mngomezulu out for four and a half weeks, Erasmus said, and he would only be able to be considered for the November tour again.
