I’ve picked SA by 14,
but now think this could be too conservative.
SA match fit after a few warm up Matches and on a roll. World Champs and current Rugby Championship Titleholders. Very, very good Springbok Team.
Puma’s haven’t had a game this year.
I should have gone SA by 20.
I hope it’s a great game and all enjoy it.
(Thanks for your BruMail Groot).

Hi Cane,
6 Changes in the Springbok backline from the 3rd Test against the B & I Lions, PLUS about 4 changes in the forwards…
The fringe players will have to prove they have what it takes and that they are not rusty!!
Players out on the pitch… it is COLLLLLD in South Africa!!
Anthems up next…
Argentina Anthem up first…
SA Anthem…
Will be Joseph Dweba’s debut Test… but I recon he’s got the class…
Formalities done…
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Springboks!
Bokke penalty advantage… and given…
Very kickable…

Springboks 3 / 0 Los Pumas
Sanchez almost kicks with a “Clubfoot”… right on the ankle side of the foot…
Pumas penalty, almost on their own 10m line… kicked out 6m outside the Bokke 22.
Pumas penalty again, offside by Cobus Reinach… deep in the Pumas half.
They do not manage to kick out.
Bokke scrum, well inside the Bokke 22… let’s see how the new front row of the Bokke performs…
Solid enough… but the ball struggling to come out the back… reset scrum.
Damian Willemse knocks
If one allows the Pumas to play, they WILL BE dangerous…
Defence must give them no space and be in their faces…
Try Cobus Reinach, Bokke, from a turnover loose ball dropped by Los Pumas!
Springboks 10 / 0 Los Pumas
Los Pumas penalty, not releasing on the ground by Damian Willemse…

Springboks 10 / 3 Los Pumas
Try Aphelele Fassi, Bokke!
From a cross-kick by Elton Jantjies…
Springboks 15 / 3 Los Pumas
Joseph Dweba over the ball, wil a Bokke penalty!
Bokke penalty, on the Pumas 22… posts again…
Easy one…
Springboks 18 / 3 Los Pumas
Bokke scrum, on about the Pumas 10m line…
Am I imagining it or are the Pumas a bit tame today??
Or is the Bokke fringe players just that intense?
Bokke scrum penalty… posts it is again, this time by Frans Steyn.
Missed, curled quite a bit with the wind…
