Expected a lot more from Jaissle and the #NUFC Team,after playing Everton 4 days earlier,they learned absolutely nothing from the 1st game,and apart from the last 10 mins when we had a go,it was poor,I must say I’m extremely uncomfortable about the rest of the Season 😩
Roughly as I said would happen, seven Bok starters named today and a further three on bench are Japan-based -- and needing the gametime. It also helps explain why many Boks were freed to play URC in latest round.

Unusually high tally of local Boks played URC, days before Test in different hemisphere. It suggests Japan-based Boks feature strongly against Italy? Let's see this evening ...

Intense ... best way to describe that triumphant showing by the Sharks as they knock over Munster on the road to complete a 3/3 tour.
Crazy challenge from Ox Nche in 57th min, in front of ref ... yellow with review, so could be 20 mins. Sharks cling to gutsy 8-3 lead at Munster; is it a key turning point?

Harmer is gun. Just creating so much pressure. Man's barely missing the rough. And his variations are so subtle. Makes sense why he averages 24 in test cricket and 26 in first class cricket!
Scarlets are a very slick ball-in-hand side. A nice watch. If only they had a meaty pack and set-piece.
Slower, sometimes grouchy and not always taker of best options. But damn, Willie le Roux is still some ball player and that's the important bottom line.
Yaqeen Ahmed also developing in leaps and bounds, and Ruhan Nel's return as backline leader made big difference against Ulster.
One thing about the current Stormers: still irritatingly imperfect in some areas, but they really do know how to turn up the heat when it matters ... keep doing it. Paul de Villiers immense today.
Simon Harmer has taken six-fors three times in his last 11 Test bowling innings. It must say something.
Brilliant by Proteas. For winning such a decisive Test against the old enemy from the highly precarious position they had been in, this may count as a top-tenner among famous SA triumphs.

I watched KG Rabada in the 1st inn. By his own admission,he probably didn’t bowl particularly well.But,when world class athletes are challenged,they dig deep,find that extra gear within themselves and deliver when the teams needs them most. That’s the champion mentality. #SAvAUS
Whatever happens today, I think the Proteas' claw-back cricket on days three and four after their earlier folly was outstanding. A triumph of the spirit.

Test cricket at its finest. What a series. Small rant - back in the day you could go to a test post tea for a reduced rate. Yesterday people were being charged R300 at 430pm to enter. Tests during the week and now making it hard for people to come watch. Surely not@TicketProSA
