Boks have some real worries in the pack. The starting front row are good but if injury strikes (JdP) or Beast the step down is significant.
Also thankfully this week the Argentines did away with the dives. Very happy to see that they are far too good a side to belittle themselves and the game with that shit.
Ayerza, Imhoff, Crevy and Hernadez for me were standouts. I also thought the Bok backrow was totally dominanted by the Pumas.

Well he's apparently already signed for their team, but maybe it's not set in stone. You'd think it could only happen if the UAR change their selection criteria. They've said that from 2016 they'll only be picking domestic based players for the national team, but perhaps they will extend it to players in Super Rugby.
I suppose there could be a technicality there. I.e. some of their players could play super rugby for foreign teams but then return home after each season to play for domestic clubs, and thus make themselves available for the Pumas.

I haven't watched it.
I really don't know if I can.
Sounds like we learn some lessons. But thats all we seem to do. Learn lessons.
Im sure we will hear that it doesn't matter in the bigger scheme. That we were testing combinations. That we underestimated them.
South Africa lost against Argtina at home one the back of losing three other tests in a row. This looks like a crisis to me but the Saffer coaches and media will still let everyone believe that it's a "process" and that the world cup is all that matters.
Broken. Like I wrote in February ion the front page and we have not made any progress or showed signs of learning in 7 months.

just watched replay, wonder what the roid testing is like at this level, that Argie hooker looks like some sort of HGH petris dish these days.

Unfortunately Meyer snookered himself by pre game saying he wanted to play Lambie but couldn't because SA expectation is so high he can't afford to lose a game trying new combos.
Left himself nowhere to retreat to.

Geez, that tackler made the others look 2nd rate, and with pace.
Bokke should sign him up.

Just watched the game in its entirety, and the impression I got was that it was a perfect storm of sorts.
You had the Argies spurred on by playing in front of the 1965 team, the Saffers struggling for confidence and form, and guys like JdV, Coetzee, BdP not looking up to pace. Not to mention Romain Poite, who was inconsistent at best.
I sincerely hope the Wallabies don't have him in the RWC against a team like England, because he penalised Koch off the park once he got it in his head that he was 'not binding' - which, by the way, Ayerza did well to plant in Poite's head.
I think on any other day I don't think the Argies would have won so easily (if at all). Everything that could go wrong for South Africa, did go wrong. You'd struggle to count on only two hands the number of unforced errors the Boks committed.
Credit to the inexperienced Argies side though for their first away win against the Boks in South Africa. Imhoff, Matera and Cubelli were standouts.

That tackler looks a great option to replace Todd Clever in the US RWC squad!

Clever was kicked out the US team for the RWC due to acting like most Aus players off-field
