@TheHalfTimeTalk 100%. Bokke scrums are going to be a great base to attack from. Keen for Tony Brown to show his prowess here🙌🏼

[David Strachan @dstrach_44]

Positive law changes for the game. Protection of 9 will create a lot more flow. Scrums will be an amazing set piece to watch if you’ve got a good base. Real attacking option

Concern: side milking not having to scrum. No scrum option on free kick so this may be a slight loophole.

🚨 SANZAAR confirm law variations 🚨

There will be four changes and applications applied for the Rugby Championship as follows.

1) RED CARD

In the event foul play is determined to be deliberate and with a high level of danger it will result in a full red card for the offending player who will not return to the field nor be able to be replaced.

All other Red Cards that do not meet the above threshold will be 20 min Red Cards in which the offending player will be removed from the match but will be entitled to be replaced by another player after 20 minutes. The offending team will then be able to replace the red carded player with one of their available replacements.

Rationale: the individual, not the game, punished for red card offences.

Key players out:
❌Porter
❌Sheehan
❌Gibson-Park
❌Lowe
Add Doris to that list and they’d be in even bigger trouble.

[David Strachan @dstrach_44]

Bomb squad criticism is due to the incredible depth in specific positions for the Boks. Boks will also play to their strengths (scrum). Ireland lacking depth and haven’t been tested with major injuries–same team week in and out (Leinster incl.). Time for Bok’s to strike🇿🇦🔥

This is the best. No idea who made this so sorry for credit but this is just absolute gold.

[David Strachan @dstrach_44]

Proper leadership. Always taking the negative media flack for the team (as a deflection from the payers allowing them to focus on what they’re there to do - play and win) and then being inconspicuous during the crowning moments🔥🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Cyril on the other hand 🤮

[Sagezza @sagezza2]

Beautiful leadership we the people at the top and the leaders underpinning us.

Real leaders don’t do it for the glory do they?

It is something else that drives them isn’t it?

I think so

[Jared Wright @jaredwright17]

Ball in play time: 38:34min.

All Blacks had 68% possession.

Means the Boks were on defence for about 23:39 min.

PSDT average more than a tackle a minute. A carry every 3 min on attack. 🤯

This outside his breakdown, lineout or scrum work.
