Argentina were sloppy, especially when allowing for that first intercept try.

More of a loose ball than an intercept but that is splitting hairs and your point stands but TBF the Bok defense is very greedy and tends toward putting the attack under pressure rather than the other way around.
Much easier than I thought, can't wait to see what we deliver against the AB's, getting the guys gelling and match fit is good
On the injury front. Any news on PSDT yet? I know he had a shoulder op last Monday but no ETA? How long do these things usually take? Maybe he can do a AWJ.
Mostert, Snyman and Vermeulen ought to be ready for Aus.
All fit it will be interesting to see what the bench looks like going forward.

did that just censor TITle?
Elstadt and van Staden also injured now. Joining Vermeulen, Pieter Steph du Toit, Notshe and RG Snyman in the infirmary Bigger chance for the du Preez twins to start. I still can't understand how Marcel Coetzee is not in the squad.
I read that JL Du Preez is not fit enough to play this game
Mostert is fit so I guess might start at 6.

I've been meaning to follow Bulls games more closely but havn't found the time. I do see though that Coetzee wasn't playing last game in the win over the Lions. Maybe he too is out injured? Not that he Bulls looked like they were missing Van Staden, Coetzee and Vermeulen, almost better loose forward depth than the national team who are carrying Smith. And that JH Wessels is a big boy who could just as easily play at 8 than 1, 2 and 3. If they have their test players that is going to be one formidable Bulls pack. 1Wessels/Gqoboka, 2Grobbelaar, 3Nyakane, 4Steenkamp, 5Nortje, 6Van Staaden, 7Coetzee, 8Vermeulen.. Still have to fit in Steenkamp, Louw and maybe even Carr and Botha somewhere. They are a little light at lock for depth so maybe.. But I am getting off topic now.
Our depth at lock and loose forward really being tested for sure. Mostert has never been as important a player.
Marcell Coetzee has to be called up surely? Anyway hows this stat yho. I said during the WC we have the best defense in the world and okes on this forum were saying no lol. Walls are green friends.
Not sure which end of that curve surprises me the most. LOL, Italy. Though they had it tough in the 6N. We also hammered them in the RWC. Though they missed playing vs NZ in the RWC. Not sure if the RWC forms part of last 10 played though.. I keep forgetting 2020..
Marcell is a constant injury concern and I think we gearing the next breed of loosies.
I'd rather see Evan Roos or Edrick Louw than Marcell Coetzee in the mix

Sorry Argentina, but South Africa is making it look easy.
