SA to win comfortably. They get up for the bigger games (usually), but often look poor against weaker sides for some reason.

SCOTLAND 20 vs ITALY 20 after 40 min. 2nd Half kicks off. The next 15 minutes or so the plastic bag effect will greed the players and they will feel like a snitch in a mob movie with the altitude

feels like a Super Rugby match in national kits

Vodacom must like irony, because their ads are plastered all around Loftus, but people cannot get a signal.

Best movement I have seen fom the back line in a while.
Showed some real promise.

Why 15:00 a problem for Samoa.

Temperature + Altitude makes Loftus a bit of a bigger challenge to play at than Ellispark especially for visiting teams. Lions had a machine to prepare for it im 2009 even and still found out the hard way. Feels like someone pull a plastic bag over your head suddenly.

Not for nothing the Aussies struggle to win over there.

Dai bando & Co instead of worrying about what the Wallabie do or dont do - here is a case of a bloke who admits going the squirrel grip:
"My assessment of the Player is that he is honest: he immediately accepted that he had grabbed an opponent’s testicles – he did not attempt to dispute that fact – and he said that there is no room in the game for insidious acts. Further there was no attempt to weaken the evidence given by Strauss who himself accepted that there was probably no malicious intention.
