Last week Xamlashe was a bit of a revelation - work rate, nice touches, good D. Felt like I was watching Lukhanyo again.

The moment it was sealed. Feels almost sweeter than 2018. #RSAvAUS Kudos @ProteasMenCSA … that’s some turnaround.

Let’s completely ditch T20 and only play Test Cricket

This is nice, very nice. #RSAvAUS @ProteasMenCSA

Quick

Minor miracle that Bester caught the ball though.

That ref’s nice guy demeanour clouds how bias he has been against our sides. Just because he’s not wisecracking like Luke or Matt, doesn’t make him good ref.

Every time Siyaya gets the ball, I’m thinking he can’t pull of another miracle … then he does, whipping through French D like a couteau de boulanger through fromage à pâte molle. He’s better than Fassi no doubt and perhaps even Quan is getting a bit en sueur. Talent loading …

Great idea

Beautiful words from @JLyall93 RIP Hyron @LionsRugbyCo

#bledisloe has to be the worst rugby comp - boring and never a contest. Rugby has become so boringly attack orientated that not only is defence optional but the variety that set piece brings is diminished. Without the contrast that the @Springboks bring, rugby might actually die.

That’s awful news. Condolences to his family, friends and teammates. Tragic.

Big loss for the Sharks.

Genuine question. I now know!

When is the @Springboks travelling squad going to be announced?

Thinking I might throw a few squids on Fiji going deep at the World Cup.

Am I understanding this correctly that the SA sides have to commit their squads to the Europe pool rounds? If so seems wildly unfair that you cannot adjust based on how your season is progressing in other tournaments. Or is this a ploy to get the Bok glitterati to give a **** about Europe?

Who is Mark Howard? Never heard of the guy before now. Did he play?

Kudos to @VDP_24 for standing up to the cowardly ball dropping incident by Lyon on AB. Some things just need to be said, no matter how many delicate toes curl.
