The best part about big test matches is the fall out afterwards. This week there has been lots of scrum chat on podcasts. Ewan Mackenna starts tweeting about rugby again and he hates rugby more than Michael Cox. Johnny Sexton insinuating Springboks sent out Felix Jones drive the rule for escorting.

IF you heard Willemse post match v ITA you realise it doesn't take much to rile up these springboks. He was talking mad about 2 time world cup winners being called 2nd string. The Ireland game they went too far with scrum in the 2nd half. They forgot bout the score just wanted to make a statement.
Mix that with the tactic to just bully Ireland as much as possible:
Seemed like the Boks were wound up to the nth degree for this game.
It’s crazy how much motivation they’re still able to find when they’ve achieved almost everything you can in rugby.

If Daan Human wasn’t drinking brannas out of his bucket hat all night, then the game is gone.
And I mean proper cognac with the een blikkie Coke. He earned the good stuff.

I think we all maybe expected England openers to be facing a couple of tricky overs at the end of day 1.

I saw a video on TikTok earlier saying that Scotland in 2015 would have beaten the All Blacks in the final if it wasn’t for the ending to their Quarter-Final.
I’ve now deleted that app.

A funny story, and a good prank. But whoever in the police decided it was a good use of resources to spend time checking if a crime has been committed needs to give their head a wobble
My favourite story of the week. Houses flying St George's flags were sent a letter saying "patriotic households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees". To opt out people were given a premium rate phone no. to sexual entertainment services! 😂

Warning as spoof refugee housing letters posted through letterboxes
Residents living on streets with St George's flags were told they could soon be housing refugees.

Stormers will have 4 springbok tightheads plus Sazi Sandi. Surely someone is leaving. Maybe even 2?

We really need Dweba to have a good season at Exeter and take one of the hooker spots. Springboks probably need him to come good more than most in his position.
How many of:
Marx/Mbonambi
Malherbe/Koch/Wilco/TdT/Nyakane
Etzebeth/De Jager/Mostert
Faf/Reinach
Will still be at test level form, considering many of them seem to be the best options for a test match 23?
