Hopefully the next game is somewhat competitive, but I can see Wales being blown away.

Roof is open, ball is going to be a bar of soap, Boks without Willie le Roux and Kolbe...

If it does end up being a blowout it will be because the Bok pack mauling 3 or 4 tries.

I think it will be close. Boks haven't won in Wales in their last 4 attempts.

It’s pissing down. Look for extra up and unders from Sefrica.

First one after 20 seconds. We’re off and kicking.

So far Boks looking much better than the Welsh under the high balls.

4:40 is the first time the whistle blew. One of the longest opening passages of play I think I've seen.

Kwagga makes up for his penalty with a crucial turnover 10m out from the Boks' goal-line.

Excellent play.

Shanklin - 'Perfect techniqu'
Screen - clear neck roll that's inexplicably not penalised.

Kolisi is such a beast at rucks and mauls. Great body position and leg drive.

Boks bleeding some penalties at the breakdown. Referee being very strict on supporting body weight. Hope we can adapt quickly.

Some great contact so far, brilliant fetching by SA and heavy hits from Nche and Nyakane.

Ref giving quite a bit of leniency to the team in possession with regards to long time to place the ball.

Boks are being nice and brutal in contact. If we can get the penalty count for the jacking down, things could get tasty.

Indeed, we need to exploit that and carry the ball some more.

A lot of our kicking strategy is based on the fact that there is a high risk of conceding turnovers.
If the ref is giving the carrying team more leeway we can risk some more carries into contact.

Yep; probably the biggest weakness in his game.
Expect him to get targeted some more.
