Saturday, 6 August: Springboks v New Zealand

Crazy to see how far this All Blacks side has fallen from their 2011-2015 years
 
Le Roux was only on the field for, what, 30 seconds, before getting that try?
 
Happy with that. Must have shook up the game plan when Faf went off, worst case scenario as we kick off him and the whole strategy would have been based around him. Hendrikse did well.

This Springbok side is very consistent.
 
Easy to point out all blacks handling and ability under the high ball but the pressure from springboks forced it. Ended up costing them a red but it also got them a lot of points. Am is probably the best defensive 13 in the world right now and his line speed and chase are the reason why.

Marx did an incredible job of creating pressure on the inside.
 
This was the best performance I have seen from Marx in a game. He is surely the best hooker in the world.
 
I would love to see a 3-game France vs South Africa series right now

It would be cracking. I reckon SA would just about edge it terms of physicality, not to such a degree that France wouldn't shade it I reckon.
