One game at a time, Bully….
I think the Bokke pack which finished (locks and loose trio) will put the Scots to the sword…
I also think the Bokke backline will do better on attack against Scotland, with Handré Pollard taking the ball up more at No 10 and playing more direct rugby,
But we’ll see, I suppose!

Cheers Cosa… sleep well!

It concerns me they rely on Louw and Vermeulen so much where are the good young loosies? Used to produce so many good ones.
Bokke escaped this game somehow with a win… the miracle I thought they needed, happened!
153 @ Bullscot:
They play for Ireland (CJ Stander), Italy (Braam Steyn) and all over the French and UK leagues (Marcel Coetzee, Josh Strauss…. ect… ect).
Then some play in Japan, some are injured…
There’s still plenty good SA loosies, but they are lured away at a rate of knots…
@ grootblousmile:
Thanks for your thoughts Gbs. As long as they can last the pace. Scotland 2nd row depth improving, Johnny Grey was on the bench resting for next week. Skinner made his debut at lock and was man of the match. He moved to flank later in game. Interesting selection questions for Townsend at lock and loose forwards

Yes it’s shame but the reality. Coetzee could do a good job but not selected
Bit of a lucky escape, I think.
The lack of big game and big moment (witin matches) temprament seems to still be a bit of a bother.
OK folks… I had a loooong day… my son phoned me just after 07:00 this morning when their little one woke them and wanted to play… and my son thought Oupa should know that…. hahaha
Then I worked hard on some serious coding stuff, then all the rugby in the afternoon and till now.
So, need a few hours before I get up middle of the night for the Proteas vs Aussies ODI cricket…
@ grootblousmile:
Not seen enough of Bok wings and who knows who will be Scotland centres next week so can’t make comparisons there. Hogg better fullback Russell better all round flyhalf and any of the Scottish scrumhalfs surely better than the Boks. Scotland wings more experienced both top players Maitland and Seymour so for me Boks will have to win it up front.
158 @ McLook:
Hi Kalahari!
Yeah, a very lucky escape indeed!
Generally speaking I believe all South Africans are happy the bokkies back to at least competative.
We were unlucly last week and were able to stay in the match this week against a psyched up French team.
160 @ Bullscot:
Did you have a bit of a look at those Youtube Videos?
So, the Bokke are 1 and 1 on tour so far… 2 Tests to come.
@ grootblousmile:
Yes I did ok pel but was on phone so want to watch again on computer before giving feedback as pics were quite small. Sounded quite in depth.
AB’s very lucky against England today. A 10 cm offside escape, eisch.
A frame by frame replay comparing offside players feet with exact moment No9 touched the ball might have produced a different result.
165 @ Bullscot:
OK… send me a mail with what you thought about them, once watched.
OK friends, I’m outa here!
@ grootblousmile:
No problem ou pel will do

Think it’s Wales McLook
@ McLook:
Actually may be Italy
166 @ McLook:
Nick Mallett and the SA TV Studio guys thought Lawes was definately offside… but I agree with you… it was freegin close!
Ok. I’m out off here as well. Got some domestic joppies to do.

Thanks. Italy or Wales :).

Problems this is that they only go back to check these close ones when a try is scored. All the multiple other ones occuring during the 80 minutes are just ignored.
Big qeustion. If Barrett forced the guy over the touchline before he scored would they then have gone back to the offside check?
