Plucky Brit posted:So just tuning in to see how much SA are winning by- Pretty much exactly what happened with Samoa beat Australia 4 years ago. "What the hell is going on here!?" South Africa, who are desperately short of form and game time, were caught cold by a team out to prove they are worth a drat.

South Africa will probably run away with this now, but it'll be a far from convincing 5-point win.

Boks are well under cooked. I mean, the obvious strategy was to get up to speed during the group and then be approaching peak as the tournament progresses, but if they keep up like this they're going to be pressing their luck. This is a game they should be winng by 40+ no matter what Japan come out with. Nice to Burger back at a RWC. Countdown to yellow for him is on...

Meyer should've seen this game as prime ambush territory, and he and the Boks leadership failed to do so, walking right into it.

For all the gloom about how badly the financial disparities in world rugby screw the smaller teams, they've put in some incredible performances

Meyer should've seen this game as prime ambush territory, and he and the Boks leadership failed to do so, walking right into it. Aside from the standard "Meyer listens to no one but himself" (see, eg. Brüssow), there's probably the argument that you don't want an aged squad playing as much as everyone else. I'm sure the usual heads will rear up about transformation etc, but that's a non-factor in this performance. Everything aside, Meyer is a loving idiot if he took Eddie Jones too lightly. He's a top coach who knows South Africa inside out - I bet he even knows Matfield's lineout calls.

The only positive is that at least Scotland won't play Japan expecting them to roll over for them. The Boks have clearly not prepared for this game and are paying for it.

If there is one guy who can turn an average team and make them punch well above their weight, it's Eddie Jones. He took an average Wallabies side to a world cup final and came agonisingly close to beating one of the all-time great sides that otherwise seemed destined to win it, for gently caress's sake.
