I have watched all three Bok v. France tests. While it is true that France are pretty poor, I also believe the Boks are on the up and up with several new faces. They are as tough as ever up front, but are obviously looking to develop a wide game to progress beyond their 10 man rugby tradition. It looks as though they have the speed and skill n the backs to do it too. I think they could develop into a seriously good team in the next couple of years with no or very few weaknesses.BaggyTrousers wrote:Dave wrote:Boks looking good though.

God knows why Dave.
Unlike the NZers I genuinely like the Saffers and will be hoping they snatter the Lions too.
FULL MATCH CAN BE FOUND ON YE CHUBErumncoke wrote:There is a link on Munsterfans to a Japanese recorded broadcast of the second game
Firstly
The ref was a bit of a homer - Japanese were interfering with the recycle the whole match.
The service from the base of the ruck was slow and telegraphed with very few running on to the ball .
Secondly the Japanese back line were frequently on the margins of off side and the Irish backs were lying too flat thus the wings seldom saw the ball with everything stifled in the centre of the pitch .
Ulster performances
Jackson a busy game some nice touches and sound tackling with 100% from the tee .
Marshall, like Jackson ,busy occasional sorties beyond the gain line but the Japanese defence made linking out to the wings difficult if not dangerous to attempt. A nicely timed pass to enable a try to be scored being his best contribution
Treadwell not conspicuous but a nice assist for Rudduck's try
Stockdale ,just wasn't a game for wings, and therefore any comment would be based on approximately 5- 10
Minutes involvement with few obvious errors or great contribution- not being his fault .
Reid and Cooney, on the pitch for to short a time to be assessed ,and both to far down the pecking order at this time for it to be important .
The Japanese while not Shyte defend well ,provided a referee allows them to live beyond the margins .In attack their speed and handling can make them a dangerous opponent to treat lightly .

You take that backrumncoke wrote:Paddy at 21 didn't make a great success of it either but neither did he make a great hash of it .
As I have stated I think Sexton will hinder Carberry's development as an outhalf and Kearney's frequent injuries will see his selection at fullback for Leinster .
He has all the makings of a Leinster Paddy Wallace .
