Joe Schmidt the new Australian coach has taken the opposite route by only selecting players committed to Australian rugby - it may prove to have been the right call for Australian rugby in the long run.

​@rooftile883 That was my first impression, they just going about it in a different way, maybe different countries need different methods, SA has a bit of a political issue they need to incorporate and work their way around. When fans were burning their jerseys it was Rassie that said, stick with us we'll make it work and given the last 2 WCs the brains behind the Boks are doing something right.

Not really that brilliant.Argentiba , Fiji ,Tonga , Samoa , Italy , Japan also have no restrictions. It was done out of necessity..

Sir, I second that!

Regarding Edwill, I really don’t see him being better than KLA or Cheslin, I think he’ll be a quality 3rd choice if Moodie continues as 13

It can be my imagination, but it seems that there is a new (Brown) strategy of using 6, 9, 10, and 12 as a unit to attack close to the ruck. If so, then it will explain the 9, 10, and 12 choices?

you can't compare libbok to dweba his good at alot of things like tactical kicking passing and great on counter attack

@@user-du8em2xq5c I just thought Kwagga looked rabid during the game, but yeah! That's what it seems like it might have been. As well as 15. Fullback seems integral to splitting defences open or getting around them under Brown.

@@subbie5498 Dweba is the ideal hooker just short of his throwing... Aggressive on defence, nuisance around the breakdown, runs hard, solid frame. Mngomezulu and Hendrickse are playing to replace Libbok.

@@samoranotununu7840 hendrikse not even in the same league as libbok libbok actually passes the ball 30m accurately while hendrikse passed the ball 10 m and got intercepted sacha won't replace libbok yet his first pass to a player was a knock on he has not even been able to secure more than a few matches for the stormers for a reason libboks tactical kicking is actually the best of all the sa flyhalfs maybe not goal kicking people forget the magic he can produce look how they did against la rochelle libbok making accurate last minute cross kick what other sa flyhalves can do this pollard is horrible at leicester absolute disgrace but nobody spoke about it or the fact that sacha makes no difference for the stormers when he comes on name a match winning moment for sacha you cant name one you can look back and see libboks 100s of match winning moments where he provided that last minute magic

injured

Hmm, not sure. Hope so. 🤞

I think thats disrespectful towards the boks.

@@jadenphilander8799Respect? This is war boy, grow up. Other then that, time and time again I've seen the bokke put on a useless performance and loose, when they should have won by 20, all whilst in the first half looking shocked that they are expected to play rugby. Mark my words, if the bokke come with your attitude of expecting 'respect' then Ireland are going to rinse them in both game.

@@groMMit1981 Nah..I dont expect Ireland to respect the Springboks, No NH team respects the Springboks, shit...as of recent, no NH team even supports the All Blacks. NH teams are always cocky and arrogant and are always voting together for law changes like kids. I do however expect fans to be logical. Ireland couldn't even beat the Bulls...Watch how the Springboks kill them at Loftus.

@@jadenphilander8799 Ireland couldn't beat the bulls, the Bulls who lost to Glasgow, at home? Ok chap

@@groMMit1981 Yes, The Bulls lost to Glasgow...Glasgow is better than Ireland as well. You are saying the same thing that everyone said before the springboks beat the B&I lions.

what rubbish.

He is a great captain..probably the best we ever had.

Let's not feed the troll. Just ignore it, and let it sit under its bridge.
