Great to see Hendrikse and Am back on the park and making an influence. Incredible players who have worked hard to get back into the mix after injuries. Both made a huge impact today. Forgot how fast Am was. He shut down a lot of their attacks when their tails were up #RSAvNZL

I stopped watching the Aussie / Argie game when the score was 20:10. Have no clue how it ended up the way it did. Brilliant for the Argies, but Aussie rugby is on life support. The Lions tour is going to sink the game.

What does it take to be a Springbok? Besides being the best players, it takes giving. Our Boks are so generous with their time & humbly give all that they can to the fans. They could be battered, bruised & spent, but still have make space for the fans & future Boks 🙌🙏#RSAvsNZL

Every team is trying to hack the other. They are dedicating every second to analysing, finding holes in their games & developing plans. It’s what makes the games so exciting because the players/coaches respond in real time when things go pear. Boks had the tactical edge.

Being at the stadium you see how little time the players have to do anything. You’ve got missiles coming at you from all sides, have milliseconds to read what’s in front, then act with the gameplan in mind & natural instinct at heart. Then there’s Kolbe. A defender’s nightmare.

I hurt my neck working at my desk too much. Siya went in and faced the All Blacks with a damaged face, and at no point did he shy away from contact. Quite the opposite. He was carrying, hitting, clearing and scoring with a point to prove. A one of a kind and he’s our Captain 🇿🇦

Not only is this a flex for Cheslin’s ever-growing rugby repertoire, it also gives us the ability to put more forwards into the maul early & get ascendancy with a piece that is generally our bread & butter, but has been nullified by the Kiwis lately. Brawn 🤝 Brains = Boks 🇿🇦

"... I have come to accept that in my 18 years of rugby journalism, and my 39 years of involvement in the sport as player, coach and writer, I don’t think I’ve seen a more intelligent and adaptable team than the current 2024 iteration of South Africa." ❤️🇿🇦🙌

As we look to build depth, we have the challenging task of finding our next Kwagga. A player that’s fast, strong, a demon at the breakdown, baller skills, and loves to get physical in the trenches. Someone both feral and flashy, to light up the 2nd half. Think we found our guy…

Fans love shiny toys. The reality is that Polly, Manie & Sasha can exist in a squad together. Sasha’s strapped leg impacted his kicking ability & he missed a few. But made up with ball in hand. Basically what Manie does. Really hope Manie gets a run vs Argentina.

It’s a weird time for the Boks. Even our biggest haters have given them respect. Well earned over a really long time. It’s encouraging & can easily get to our heads. Rassie knows how important it is to keep the boys grounded. Fans must too.

This tour against Argentina is going to be a dogfight. Blood is in the water after their demolition of the Wallabies. The Boks have their work set out for them. These are going to be tough, and great to watch. All eyes on Manie to remind us all he’s still a baller.
