Waiting List
1. Sam
2. pullthestrings
3. Bathite

Tavis Knoyle is going very well so far. Quite impressed. North going good to and delighted that Alun Wyn Jones is puting a performance in!!

Knoyle was very good, much better service than Phillips.

Time for the biggy!!!! SS4

And they say Jonathan Davies hasnt got hands! Lovely little inside ball.

Missed it SJ, soaking up the atmosphere for the AB game. I like Davies, good all rounder but don't think he clicks with Roberts. Like him at 12, he's the type of player England could do with tbh

Fantastic break Dagg!!! SBW messes it up tho, he's really not a great passer

Think Hook should be 12 (although hes had a cracking game at FH today!!) with Davies outside him. Cracking little player Davies is.

Missed it just switching over now

Great play Slade! If you squint it could be Carter lol, cracking game so far

Cracking start!

Huge scrum from SA.

Great battle Steve, NZ put pressure on previous. Might be too early for Woodcock

Nah I don't do favoritism to a mod! Bit frustrated we conceded a try but not a bad win!

Steyn is a different player behind a strong pack

You saying something about my pack?!

NZ have a worrying lack of direction.

Some good performances for you Prop mate. North, Davies, Hook, Knoyle, Williams and Wyn Jone all did pretty well. Have to sort out the slow starts though.

Lol....not me Prop.

NZ in control but SA hitting the points when it counts. Thompson needs to watch himself at breakdown.

It's made how much better the quality is in the sh. Off to watch even better quality soon with Pirates vs Chiefs!

It's made how much better the quality is in the sh. Off to watch even better quality soon with Pirates vs Chiefs! Doing some scouting for my Worcester squad

SA defence is fantastic

Anyone else think Wales were poor again? Thought that was the worst Argentinian team I have seen in 5-6 years - if that is the best that they have to offer then England will beat them at the world cup.

If Wales allow SA, Fiji or Samoa that much ball then they could lose every one of those games

Cant wait to watch Ireland v france later. Gotta love BBC NI

It's on BBC2 I think Steve

That is brillaint

I didnt evn check bbc2. went straight to BBC Ulster

Great try, lovely play from Slade and SBW. Kahui is a cracking player, just so injury prone

And Gear sorry

Brussow turnover!! Slade is doing some magic things but making some big errors. Great game

Argentina were actualy pretty good first half. Poor kicking from Contepomi and then they got sucker punched at the end of the first half. Was quite impressed considering that was their frst test in a year? Looked sharp ball in hand and set piece was very good. Was quite impressed with my new signing Creevy did very well when he came on. Lobbe was everywhere. Scelzo and Roncero were cracking as well. Quiet game from Rodriguez at FB though who is a cracking player. Was expecting better from him.

Wales were poor 1st half but stepped it up 2nd half. Knoyle was great for them really injected some pace in to their play and his service is so much better then Phillips. Hook was great at FH. North and Davies were cracking in the backs. Alun Wyn Jones really put a shift in great performance from him. Alot relies on Jones staying fit for them though.

Boks defence is immense! Putting Slade under some serious pressure. Good to see Steyn get some form going again before the world cup.

SJE - disagree about how good Argentina were, if you can take them on upfront you can beat them. They have one way to play - liked the look of their no9 but certain England will be able to beat them.

Didnt think Davies had a good game at all. Was impressed with Knoyle, Wyn Jones, but think Hook needs to move to 12 or 13 as he still doesnt boss the game properly from 10. Amazing player but just cant control a game like a player of his ability should.

I dont think Davies and Roberts work well together at all in the centres.

Hook at 12, Davies 13 and Roberts 15 will do

Funniest quote of the year from the SA commentator:

"Bakkies Botha has such a lovely disposition"

Good to see steenkamp bossing scrum. Alberts gives boks go forward. Habana doing well. Fdp looks great as does Fourie

If argentina had gone in 15 points up at half time don think there would have been many complaints would there? That was a pretty impressive performance. They are more then capable of meeting England up front and considering England have nothing behind the scrum themselves at the moment they have a chance of beating us.

Hook was cracking today. Kicking was good. Running was good. Got the backs going and stripped the ball 3 or 4 times in defence. Cant see what more you can want from a 10. Agree though he would be better from 12. Davies was one of Wales best backs. Him and North were great. Consistently made the gain line and showed some lovely hands. Was alot better then Roberts today

Great play Dagg! Be ahead of Mils IMO

Brussow going very well!

Brussow is absolutely everywhere, so important to SA as he sets up their platform game. Alberts good at BS too

3 games on at the moment. Then there's football, cricket and rugby league.

Too much to watch

Isn't it great lol. I was supposed to be travelling to London tonight but persuaded Missus it would make more sense to travel tomorrow

Mils is much better than dagga. He makes nz tick and have a counter attack. No one can ever convince me Thomson is an international . Good player just not good enough for international. Same with messam

Slade is having a bit of a mare here

Made some bad calls but done some nice things, Kahui ran ahead of him there for the forward pass.

He's playing behind a beaten pack and in a real caldron of a stadium. He'll have took a lot from this game.

Got Franks, Thorn, Read, McCaw to come into the pack alone against the SA best available.

That was world class from Brussow, turnover under your own posts is worth 7 points.

Very true it will be a great learning expierence for Slade.

Thomson hasnt been too bad. Just gone up against a truly world class 7 while playing in a side on the back foot. Doesnt help that he is more a blind side then open side either. Hes more then good enough to get into say Englands back row so is most definately international quality just not top class. No shame in that.

Agree on Thompson, much more a 6 and works well with McCaw although can def do a job at 7.

I imagine Henry will be pretty happy(not with scrum). SA have hardly been in the AB half and haven't looked like crossing the whitewash. Been very disappointed with SBW but again he's not had front foot ball.

NZ have 8/9 players to bring still but their backups are very strong. Messem has struggled at 8, much more effective from 6.

Ire v France now!

Thank god for Sky plus Just starting the irish game now

Me too lol. 7mins in........how good is SOB!!!

And Healy!!!!

What was the sa final score guys?
