Congrats Boks well played. I thought we could win but not at that margin

Lol. Casuals that will now again think libbok is great because the boks won once are the worst. Just read back and see all the complaining about him.

Rassie rates him so pretty irrelevant if keyboard warriors don’t. I’d rather go with his opinion

And that ladies and gentleman is the difference in backline play when Libbok is there and not Pollard

It depends on the game plan. Pollard is better in a structured game; Libbok is better in an enterprising game. Pollard, given his experience, is likely to absorb more pressure, too. There is more to a game than the pivots.

Last week, the game dynamics didn't go the Springboks way. It was close, though, but the All Blacks were the better team that day. For me, it looked like conditioning niggles.
 
Biggest All Black home defeat and our first time retaining the Freedom cup. Very impressed with Willimse and Hooker clearly confidence goes a long way. Best rugby champion and anyone can still won. Now over the the ladies!

Rassie also rates Pollard. Any person going Libbok is great and Pollard is shít is stupid.
And that same person will probably complain about kicking too much. When that is exactly why Libbok is chosen.
 
The Argie’s have a decent kicker, also a ref that liked them.

Biggest defeat ever. Not just at home
 
The All Blacks have suffered their heaviest-ever defeat as South Africa ran rampant in a 43-10 dismantling in the Rugby Championship.

The Springboks hit back in some style having been edged out at Eden Park a week ago, producing 36 unanswered second-half points to power out of sight in a statement showing from the world champions.

In the process, the records tumbled, with a 33-point margin of victory surpassing the previous worst result in New Zealand’s history - exceeding their own 35-7 win in a World Cup warm-up at Twickenham in 2023.
