Rugby Championship 2025: South Africa v Australia

[Spamnoodle]

Sexton was also was one of the Worlds best 10's, whereas O'Connor has never proven to be a Test level 10, and his last performance for the Wallabies there made Dave Rennie banish him from the squad instantly

I hope he goes well but we cant compare him to guys like Sexton

He was Rennie's scapegoat for that test. It was an abomination for all involved.
His cannot be hung for that performance alone.

Squidge on the Boks

Good analysis as always. Nothing revolutionary. Playing to strengths and adding a few elements. But a lot of work on skills behind the scenes which he doesn't mention. I like how he picks up how they seem to set up plays. Squidge has proper rugby IQ.

Also a good dose of luck with insane depth never seen before in SA. A few years back the Boks did not early have the options they do now. Under Alistair Coetzee the cupboard was really bare (made worse with awful selection).

Sums it up: "It is about getting their strengths more into play."

James O'Connor

A Crusader playing for Australia against the auld enemy. Who the hell do I cheer for here. It's like a festival of baddies.
