And this with a bomb squad that delivered this first scrum ... Bajada firmly in the VHS archives!

That Argentina comeback at Murrayfield was something else! Absolute horse manure in a dreary first 50 minutes, they were dead and buried ... Until they weren't! That match stats are going to be wild ...

I'm tired of Razor ... I'd like to see the ABs managed by a different coach. He's clearly not a crap coach, but these All Blacks need a more mature approach and mentor ...

I think we need to revert to Jackler needing to go for the steal, and not the staple. North South movement... Amazing how laws, or interpretations thereof, come and go. Let attacking player place the ball!

Exquisite from the Boks. So brave to go wide with 14 men. Perfectly executed. In Italy, with an early red, this is a bloody good win. How good has Kwagga been?

Experimental - perhaps being kind - front row selections might come back to haunt Boks given the red. But I'd back the Boks to handle what's been thrown at them and eke out a win ...

Disgraceful officiating. To start with, Mostert hit the chest of the Italian. And clearly about to wrap. Just happened much earlier. Different to Lood incident. This is abysmal ...

Nicely done by the Baby Boks last night. Not a crap Irish side. Conditions horrific, into wind second half. Great character. Game streamed on Irish rugby website (together with some very partisan commentary ๐) - https://t.co/c41eRpiNKj

Siya and co vs Cape Town born and educated, Ross Vintcent - this week picked at 6 and not 8 - is going to be fun to watch! This Italian side is not a poor one!

Baby Boks stick with very similar front row combo for their outing against Ireland U19 in Cork ...
