That is the highest concentration of aussie that I have ever seen in one human.

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

@SquidgeRugby Really good discussion and an exciting game to look forward to. My only request is to not to say Damian Willemse's first name as though he's French. Pronunciation is not like Damian Penaud.

The best ever knock by a Proteas player in a World Cup ✨

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

Daryn Dupavillon & Ruan de Swart are the cricketers I'd most like to see given another Proteas opportunity.

Life long dream 💙🏆

@SkyCricket @Athersmike @markbutcher72 @nassercricket Please ask Polly or @NatalieGermanos to teach you how to say Dewald & Wiaan. #ENGvSA

Happy Eden park week to those that celebrate 🏉🏟️

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

@TheSportsFundi Yellow card all day for that on your tryline

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

@grantbn6 Ruan de Swardt really need more opportunities. Feel like there is some serious talent there. Should be next in line behind Mulder.

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

@craigray11 Dad joke alert :)

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

I dislike umpire's call when a ball is hitting the stumps. Either we trust the technology or we don't. Commentary not helping either, hitting is hitting. #SAvPAK

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

Injury to Wiaan Mulder ahead of the 2nd test leaves the #Proteas in need of a batting allrounder. I'd have been tempted to call on Ruan de Swardt.

Etzebeth incredibly unlucky to miss out against Savea for the top prize last year, but Ox Nche over Eben for this year's nomination surely?

Was thinking the same thing. No arms shot at Wiese's legs. Cowan-Dickie also famous for those ugly grasscutters

[Jared Wright @jaredwright17]

Ben Earl put in another no-arms tackle in before half time. Has got to watch that becoming a habit, officials will take note. #ENGvRSA

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

@haribaldijones @89combo @LekkerRugbyPod Roos at 6 is change to Phepsi. Also A-H Venter at hooker and Quan Horn covering back three.

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

@Kookie_Kuhle @KenBorland Makes some stats become meaningless. Comparing records of the big three to records of players from anywhere else in test cricket is not like for like.

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

Can the Springboks play every game at Mbombela? Vibe looks incredible. Was the same against All Blacks a couple of years back!

[Timmy Hancox @TimmyHancox]

Springboks absolutely cooking today! Jaden speed and accuracy at 9 and PSDT everywhere as the first half standouts, but everyone good so far

[Kooks @Kookie_Kuhle]

From the possibility of not having a Currie Cup this season to having a great tournament which ended with a 59 meter penalty shows why we can’t have a rugby season without the Currie Cup.
