It's mad how guys go into their mid to late 30s in the French divisions, can only imagine they'll be all sorts of ****** in 15 years.

Pretty sure at least one of those contests should have been a penalty to South Africa. Not sure how you can have a forward just stand in the way and not try to catch it.
How do they even fit a preseason into that?
Two weeks on the bench then straight back into a condensed preseason?
Pretty sure the premierships pre-season is spread out over 8 weeks
Well worked, deserved that

Well taken try. Mistake by Welsh wing I think to rush up.
Sheesh, didn't realise Libbok only got 60% in the rugby championship
Rob du Preez got high 80s in the Prem last season #justsaying

Can't be missing those kicks.
it's South Africa, if it's muscle damage it will be fixed in 1/10th the time.
Kolisi's come back is impressive. Even assuming SA's drug cocktail is better than the rest of the world (other than the BELENUX cycling) 115 days for an ACL is amazing.

I presume a defending champ has never gone out in the pools before? I wouldn't bet on it but far from impossible this time around.
Wales's lineout has improved immensely

At least he makes up a bit with his missed kicks with those kinds of passes that creates tries.
the symptoms of CTE can be masked by a bottle of red wine a day
I'd imagine the teams that know what they are doing treat everything up until Europe as preseason. The other teams and Pro D2 well . . . season ends in May, couple of weeks off, and straight into a 1930s training regiment and act confused when you can't win anything.
South Africa took the years of joking about Steyn/Pollard and them winning games in multiples of three to heart and now they're only gonna score in multiples of 5
The way Wales line out has been performing I would come for the corner
the lineout is good but they've had a maul turnover and knocked on at the strike runner so far.
