… and we all thought Bok rugby was stoid under Heyneke Meyer… hate to say it, but the Bokke have regressed further under Allister Coetzee…
AGAIN Los Pumas creates a man overlap on their left wing side…
Out flank us with ease. Create space everytime they take the ball wide.
Bokke has no answers with the Argies stacking their backline on the wings… with players easily creating overlaps against the Bokke defence.
Bokke will have to drift MUCH BETTER on defence!!
Bokke penalty, offside!

Yip. Sure the Lions will play better against these guys.
Scant consolation, even if Jantjies kicks this over…
Bokke will go into halftime well behind on the board!
Missed to posts…

Jantjies miss with the penalty. Wheels coming off.
Phweeeew… not good… not good!
OK… how to fix this?
We need much better work on the ground… so we need a re-think on the loosies… maybe bring in Jaco Kriel for Flo (FLOU) Louw.
Backline woes… Damian de Allende is not cutting the grade, neither is Elton Jantjies or Johan Goosen!!
Next Test I would have neither of the 3 in the starting line-up… but for now bring in Morné Steyn for Elton Jantjies and there will have to be better instructions to drift better on defence.
Going to be a long night for the Bokke… this is a loss in the making!!
So…..nothing’s changed. Same garbage from the Boks.
I’m going to bed. I’ll read how much we lost by in the Sunday Times, over a cup of coffee at Perrigrin Farm Stall when I’m done with the Elgin hills. The point: this would never have happened in bygone days(no way I’d miss a Bok Test). The joy’s gone out of watching the Bok’s play the beautiful game. Nothing beautiful about our game though.
Los Pumas bossing the basics… the ground ball situations, the backline running, the heart, the passion, the innovation, offensive organization…
There would have to be a radical turn-around if the Bokke wants to win this game!
2nd Half ON!
Los Pumas with the confidence to run it from their own line…
Bokke kickable penalty, not rolling away.
An Argie down injured, receiving attention.
Los Pumas 13 / 6 Springboks
Try Bryan Habana, Bokke!
Great behind the back final pass to Habana by Flo Louw!
Los Pumas 13 / 13 Springboks
Nicolás Sánchez bleeding profusely… blood subbed.
Bokke with 3 or 4 immediate replacements…
Kistkos on at loosehead, Pieter-Steph du Toit on, looks like Lourens Adriaanse too… and I think Morné Steyn too!
Try Los Pumas… cross kicked…
TMO
Yip, try, Juan Manuel Leguizamón!
Los Pumas 20 / 13 Springboks
Oupa Mohoje might be cited after the game…
Bokke scrum penalty… Kitskos scrumming well on the Bokke loosehead side.
Morné Steyn for goal from halfway…
