Another excellent article from Nicholas Bishop. I never fail to learn from his writing. So, the old tactics from Sth. Africa, Vs the new tactics of England. The result will be very interesting. Englands understanding at the line out was superb.

WOW ! The Springboks are back. What a power game by the Boks, they've found their mojo again. After trying to play an expansive game, like the Lions in Super rugby, they came back to a solid defensive game, backed up by their scrum, and the icing on the cake was their wingers. Boks 32, England 12. The Boks used their scrum as a weapon in the first 20 minutes, and belted the English forwards all over the field. That's not to say England didn't play well, they did. A great game from both teams.

Cheslin Kolbe was covered in red back spiders. Must have been.

Probably the best article on why the Springboks won, by Nicholas Bishop. He also points out why the scrum is indeed a beautiful thing, done right. And, why the Springboks are worthy successors to the All Blacks.
