Thought they could trick us into batting last by giving us a 300 run lead but we weren't born yesterday.

Only possible solution is India, Australia, and England restrict their income even further and not play them at tests at all

And, yes, I am rather vexed.

That scrum regularly gets tuned like a wonky piano, and yet you go up against, of *all* teams on God’s good green earth, the Bokke without a replacement lock?

That’s not even hubris, that’s just straight-up stupidity. It got what it was asking for.

I had forgotten about the horrendous elbow-drop/croc-roll Doris/Ryan combination on Malcolm Marx last year that broke his leg.

Ryan has been on borrowed time for quite a while before the flying shoulder to the face got caught yesterday.

Malcolm Marx got the Leonard di Caprio The Revenant Oscar WPOTH for a lifetime achievement, even if this wasn’t anywhere near his best season.

He’s definitely been the best hooker in the world for close to a decade and is massively important to the Springboks.

But Ox Nche was ROBBED!

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social What a top scrum looks like. Note how *fast* it is, and that once it starts moving, it just all cascades back and momentum keeps it going.

This is not a fifteen-second contest, let alone a fifteen minute one. Othismos was not a scrum analogue.

I love scrums. Adore scrums. Hated all this running about bit, but loved even scrums that didn’t go well.

So, to watch a righteous punishment of gimmickry and treating the scrum as something to be gamed around is, for me, the sort of OT divine chastisement sent to lead a people to repentance.

Deserved recognition for Marx – and he had some stiff competition from Du Toit and Nché, who've also had massive seasons.

Disappointing that Boks didn't convert more chances.

But here's some context, re Bok tries for and against in recent matches v Ireland:

0-1 in Durban (2024)
3-3 in Pretoria (2024)
1-1 in Paris (2023)
2-2 in Dublin (2022)
0-4 in Dublin (2017)

Tonight: 4-1 to Boks

Look, I'll be entirely blunt: if I were a team who take scrums seriously, given the opportunity to smash a scrum that's relied on gimmicks, I'm not stopping all night. The backs can bring deckchairs and a good book, bucket of cocktails or something, I'd not stop while there's work still to be done.

You don’t spend all day really looking forwards to going for the dentist to get that root canal surgery do you?

Get it done first thing.

Use powerful prescription drugs to help forget about it.

Try to move on.

Everyone agrees my little baby Bokkies are underdogs for this match right?

Probably the lowest of under under dogs for any match in a long time.
We have a 20% win rate against these Irish GIANT BULLIES!

It's a safety risk imo

Another example of why your ideal qb should be dating a 8/10 devout Christian girl they met when they were 13. You can NOT have your qb learning new things that aren’t football
