Hi Rugby-Talkers,
I was a bit disapointed during the week about the dummy spat by Rassie Erasmus regarding the officiating in the 1st Test… and even more disapointed about every Tom, Dick and Harry having their say for and against Rassie.
It’s a storm in a tea cup… and while this still remains a sport, people need to act with decorum and sportsmanship… that is how we should roll!
So, what about today’s match??
Springboks have their backs against the wall… this is a must-win for the Bokke!!
Both sides will have learnt much from the 1st Test.
Springboks need to be much more clinical on the high balls executed on them and more importantly put much more pressure on the Lions scrummie, so that he does not have the time to be so accurate with those kicks…
Springboks need to put out an 80 minute PLUS effort, this time round.
Looks like the Bokke won the toss…
Lions players getting ready to come out…
Strap yourself to your chair…
Lions out on the field!
Steven Kitshoff comes out first for the Bokke… his 50th cap!
Rest of the Springboks out now too…
SA Anthem…
Probably going to be in vain but GO BOKS!
Formalities done… game time!
Hello GBS, hope its a good game with less launching the ball into outer space
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Springboks!
Bokke penalty, on Halfway… kicked towards the corner!
