Boks VS Pumas- 19-08-2017

With 3 wins over a tired French team, the Springboks still had a lot to prove after last year's horrific season.

Missing Captain fantastic, Warren Whitely, Eben captained the team for the second time.
His captaincy looked stable, with a lot of communication to what may be called, "the leadership team" (Beast, Siya and Elton).

My takings from the game:

Referee Romain Poite was critisised in the B&I Lions vs NZ game which ended the series at a draw.
Arguably, he dis-allowed a try and allowed a try by the springboks that kind of cancels each other out.
The try that was allowed, let Skosan get his first test try after being denied one against the french.

We won by more points than the favourites, but failed to secure a bonus point, leaving NZ on top of the log.
(Wallabies, are under fire, even though they won the 2nd half against the All Blacks in quite an awesome come back)

My stand out players:
Elton Jantjies took charge and proved that he is the best 10 in the country.
Coenie Oosthuisen showed his strength in some solid scrums.
Malcolm Marx showed great defence and had a few runs.
Jaco Kriel won a important turnover which I think may have boosted the tempo of the team.
