Ahh the black ducks

Perth Demons?

Anyway back to the putative eye gouging, I suspect he was just attempting to give Quade a high five

Straight over my head. Nothing new there.

Interesting to look at the numbers in the two tests v the Boks. We appear to have dominated the usual numbers (line breaks, missed tackles, carries, passes etc), but we're looking at two disparate playing styles AND SA actually only managed to score one less try than us in those two tests...

I just wish he pulled his damn socks up.

I probably didn't add enough emphasis to the second part: playing against teams that play 10-man rugby. If I was their director of rugby they'd be permanently in high altitude camp in Lesotho. Except 10 and 15, they can hang out with Naas Botha when he gets a beach shack at Jefferey's Bay.

During yesterday's game I had it in my head that we had the wood on SA and that Hodge had a ton of time and space. But he didn't. His high ball errors were in heavy traffic on the end of quality kicking. Yes that's the lot of the modern fullback, but I thought SA used the kick quite well in...

More broadly, I think there are some happy selection headaches across the paddock. Amazing what can happen when stringing two good tests together.

I'm using a major generalisation here, but do you think the Boks have suffered from playing few tests together until the Lions tour, and then played NH rugby?

So many lockdown hot takes. Keep up the stunning work

That patch of turf about 20m from touch on the 5m line's starting to look a little worse for wear

3 Hooper 2 Tupou 1 Kerevi HM Cooper, Koroibete, Ikatau, Valetini... Etc etc

Hold the phone, how many Drew/Drus are there on this thread?

Is it just me who thought they were starting to pull it together at about 50-60 mins, before a mass substitution?

Good win against the world champs. SA looking a bit flat, maybe after the emotion of the Lions series. Looks like each player improved on last week abd executed. Happy to be shouted down on this, but didn't think Hodge played that poorly. Forwards were immense. Maul defense much improved...

Yellow? No hands? Head contact? Hmm. And about ten minutes late.

Nah, can't have that happening at 10:45 or 79:30. Card.

Great game big unit

Great decision to contest the lineout
