Ok. I will say it.
Bullshit straight red against Mostert.
Well done to the Boks C-team despite that.

Really naive play by mostert. It’s a bullshit red but in the current climate of the game he was dumb.

Franco is tackling. No malice, and his technique is decent.
Players in possession move shape when another tackles them. Changes timing for the 2nd guy lining them up.
Nothing naïve from Mostert. Just piss-poor appreciation of the actual game by the officials who then rely on frame-by-frame stills.

He didn’t wrap. Simple - he needs to

So now that we know that initial contact was with the upper chest, are we going to see Mostert banned anyway?

Is that still on the down or the up?

[saguy]

@MiketheSnow That's the initial contact

Based on photo, nothing to see.

Snyman strikes 50 as Boks opt for experience against Ireland

Towering lock RG Snyman will join the select group of players to earn 50 Test caps for South Africa when the Springboks run out at the Aviva Stadium against Ireland on Saturday, in a matchday squad that reflects only two personnel changes to the team that defeated France 32-17 two weeks ago.

Farrell Names Ireland Team To Face South Africa At Aviva Stadium

[Smuts]

That’s a strong looking Irish team that’s shown impressive week on week improvement. Might just be able to hold the boks to a two score victory.*

*Unless the scrum and/or breakdown are reffed properly or the TMO’s comms system breaks down.

Boan Venter at LH isn't scary.

[Smuts]

@pakman maybe so, but Steenekamp is very scary to Irish props. Venter’s just there to take the shine off the new ball.

Sorry I post the teams on the wrong thread. Must be the age.
