Didn't take the Argies too long to commence conceding dim pens.

The talk has been about how to defuse the inevitable high balls from the base of SA scrum, but I will be interested in how the ABs attack the Boks' rush defence. Ball in hand isn't going to do it.

A sustained program of through kicks, and in kicks in behind should unsettle things. Might also break the game open which should help NZ.

Paucity of ambition so far. Aus happy to hoof and await the next Arg foul up.

Lavanini remains true to type. Done here. Have a Stag engine to look at.

Pumas offering nothing, Oz seem happy to win 20-0

Lavanini is definitely improving — it took 26 minutes for his yellow card.

For long periods there is was like a game of force back at lunchtime at school.

It will also be interesting to see how the ref handles the Boks' time-wasting strategy. Perhaps award a few free kicks to the ABs early?

Big Fatty Frans Malherbe not playing today. So I'm hoping we don't need as many breathers in this match. You're still going to whip us though.

At some point I may be lucky enough to find a feed that does not freeze or close down every 15 seconds. I am not holding my breath

It's been frustrating all right. This one's quite stable, for now...

Well done, Wobs. Thought they were going to run away with it, but to their credit the Pumas finished strongly.

Rennie has his team building nicely towards 2023.

Why do some of the Aussie commentators call Rob Valetini Rob Valentini? Are they confused by Saint Valentini's Day?

Feeling so conflicted over this one. I like the changes to our team and hope we'll at least improve on last week's poor performance, but...Bokke have many pride!


Head says Boks by 2, heart says ABs by 20.
