Boks scrap through after coming back into the game and then loosing interest for some reason, maybe the lack of competition at scrum time🤷

What a way to finish the half!

13 women lineout and rolling maul.

About a billion pick up and gos and we go through the soft centre of the Black Ferns 🔥🔥🔥

Do we think Brown looked at the Bok line-out reputation/skill and thought ‘this is a team where I can run X attacking structure because they have the skills to pull it off’ only to find it’s a bridge too far. The 4 man line-out is too ambitious to be practical at the top level🤔

@thalamsutu.bsky.social re the #SpringBoks lineout woes. Part of the problem seems to be the 4 man. Matfield has been critical of this. It puts a lot of pressure on the operators and makes a mirror defense pretty easy. Brown wants to 4 man to run his attacking system with loosies out wide.

Agreed.

Too many voices at the coaching table?

Seems happy to give away a penalty to seek what the ref will tolerate.

Form is a massive issue! Seems like the basics just keep letting us down.

I see the 🇿🇦 flag is at half-mast today.

Yeah. Surporesed they didn’t adjust, go to a slower more structured game plan, kick, territory, defense. Coaches might have to look at themselves to explain why the players didn’t step up and adapt.

Eloff Pretorius @ffole.bsky.social · Aug 16

Too much play with ball in hand. Boks looked gassed before the 45th minute.
Defense? Wingers both looked confused and out of position.

@haribaldijones.bsky.social whomever told you the boks were looking fit and fast… uh that guy needs to recalibrate😉

Lions making a habit of turning it on in these local games. Tough day for the Sharks. #LiovSha #URC #rugby

Stormers were beaten up front and did them selves no favors. Handling was too poor, falling off tackles, no attaching innovation and poor passes from the 9s.

Lions showed up, targeted the 13 channel, took their chances and looked to better team from minute 10. Well done Lions
