Last two years, Scotland have won 10 from 11 at home, and went very very close to beating NZ as well to make it 11.

Boks in for a hell of a game

Looks like Kolisi might just be in trouble as headbutt looks not too flash!

Came to nothing.

The Springbokke show improvement since the first test vs England. Thought they finished much stronger this time and gave them no chance at the end.

First half again that stupid box kicking , costing us two tries but a much better performance when they played more phases. Our first try was something of a beaut.

For the Scots ex Stormer Huw Jones had a blinder. Shaping up to be the best midfielder in world rugby.

Wales will be a massive challence. We havent beat them in ages. Looking forward to this final test.

Maybe a massive challenge, but I think you are going to tear them apart.

Quite pleased about that, after looking at it a few more times I could see how he was trying to get up, it looked worse that it was obviously. Also pleased as I didn't think he was the player to do crap.
Like you PB looking forward to the Welsh test!

These gifts supporters do after matches are never the same when it happen in real time. The supporters usually cut out the stuff they dont want others to see and only show those they want the supporters to see.

I cant find the ref dissions thread. Thought Willies yellow deserve a place there. Why he did not jump surely deserves a yellow. He should have scored.

Probably the match of the round.

Probably the match of the round.

Shapes as the most evenly matched anyway.

 

[PaarlBok]

Springboks usually struggle with the last test. One foot on the plain, summer holidays coming up, serious lack of braai meat, exct

Our bench was awesome the last two tests, Etsebeth added more meat and we'll need at much as we can get.

 

[Dan54]

Enjoyed the game, think Wales deserved winners, though I thought the Boks were going to run over top at the end!

 

[PaarlBok]

Disappointing end of season. Lets take a nice summer break and start fresh.
