[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 950154, member: 40658"] Well, to put it in perspective in Afrikaans we call it "Agtste Man" which is a direct translation for 8th Man. But it was long ago called "Agterste Man", which means the man behind or at the back (of the scrum). I think it's a rather fitting name actually. As for the game. Man oh man. We showed absolutely zero respect to Australia. Our second string team smashed them. Our Debutants were great, and I'm glad our rusty guys got a chance to shake the cobwebs off. Herschell Jantjies was great! That snipe try in the second half was a thing of beauty. Frans Steyn's cameo showed what a talent he is, and I think poor old disrespected Bernard Foley is going to have a lot of bruises thanks to him. Etzebeth coming back from a long injury, doing great as stand-in captain and also showing no respect to the aussies as he bashed into them time after time. Elstadt is one of the unsung heroes for me. The way he cleared the rucks and tackled around the fringes was just brilliant. [/QUOTE]
