South Africa have selected a replacements bench with only one back for one of the biggest games of the World Cup so far. It will get all the media attention this week but it鈥檚 a highly risky one in case they suffer an injury in their backline.
I am so amped for this match. It truly is unpredictable
They鈥檝e been playing backs in weird positions for the last couple years, so I鈥檇 say they鈥檝e been prepping this for a while
Damn, madnan actually did it. High balls all match from Ireland
鈥aaand it didn鈥檛 work. Not to say that they lost the game because of this, but they didn鈥檛 seem to get any of the advantages expected from it. A couple of big scrums was about the height of it. It turns out that you can鈥檛 win a top level test match without a goal kicker, no matter what tricks you pull.
