Ended up in Yserfontein this weekend without the ability to watch the Rugby. So missed both games. Just glad the bokke where able to win and good for Argentina. I really didnât expect those outcomes.
International rugby has started again!
Tomorrow the Bokke will play against Georgia in preparation for the Lions tour. And the B&I Lions will play against the Joburg Lions this weekend. Yay!

Yay! Been totally disconnected from local sport at all levels for the last year+ now I have no idea who is who and whatâs good or not, so my Superbru picks are all going to be potluck at this point 
On that point, if there are MEWbs who do the Superbru thing, be sure to join the MEW July Internationals Pool:

And while youâre there, if you havenât already done so, join the @Solitude managed Most Epic Win Superbru Club too:

Insanity would have been if the Eagles won
This game was just too easy, but Iâm concerned about the Boks.
Australia. Argentina, All Blacks and most of the major rugby countries have all started prepping new players for the next world cup since after the 2019 world cup yet we are still using the same team that won the World Cup.
We arenât producing enough players who can easily transition into the Springbok squad should their be injuries.
Some players havenât performed but yet are still kept in the team then there are players who are performing week in and week out but donât get to even smell the jersey.
That for me is the problem with our system of integrating new and young players into the Springboks

We are only allowed to win every 12 years⌠2031 is when we are due the next one.

@jaydogg86 , thatâs a really good point youâve got there.
The other countries are really bringing in the young ones and we should be doing the same. In my opinion itâs not worthwhile continuing with some of the players in our team. Thereâs some good young players that deserve a chance and Iâd like to see how they perform for the Bokke.
Our talent pool does seem to be much smaller than in the past though.

As a result, Erasmus has been suspended with immediate effect from all rugby activities for two months and suspended from all match-day activities (including coaching, contact with match officials, and media engagement) with immediate effect until 30 September 2022. Erasmus has also been handed a warning as to his future conduct and must make an apology to the relevant match officials.

Saturdays match is going to be one heck of a match. But I do have to say that I fall within the camp of supporters that believe we should not even go and play the matchâŚ
Honestly not all that surprised. Wales were the better team last week at Loftus and probably should have won there too.
Has not been a great home test weekend for the Southern Hemisphere teams. SA lost to Wales, the All Blacks lost (badly!) to Ireland, Argentina lost to Scotland, and the Aussies lost to England.

The Bokke didnât play all that badly in this second test. They dominated all areas of the game but just couldnât convert this into points. And then a string of stupid stuff made us lose the game in the end.
The first game that first half was super rusty and if it wasnât for Elton it wouldnât have been so bad.
Overall I think the Bokke have been dominating in all the right facets of game, except the score board.
