Etzebeth monstrous, the “Bomb Squad” wreaks havoc, the Boks “black beasts”… The tops and the flops

TOPS

Eben Etzebeth monstrous

A colossus. The Boks’ 2nd line traumatized the Scots on Sunday. Always fierce and rough in defensive contacts, the South African world champion is a real wall (11 tackles, no misses). His offensive contribution is also impressive. The captain of the Springboks is a beast in conquest and on the ground. Lord Etzebeth.

The “Bomb Squad” has (again) wreaked havoc

On the sidelines of the match, South African coach Rassie Erasmus aligned his feared “Bomb Squad” (7 forwards, one back) on the bench. Once again, the Boks’ weapon of mass destruction made the difference. From the restart, Jasper Wiese, Pieter-Steph Du Toit, Gerhard Steenekamp, ​​Siya Kolisi, Vincent Koch and Malcolm Marx came into play to dynamite the Chardon XV. The Scots gave in under the power of the impacts, like all the teams which rubbed shoulders with the Springboks. Wieise also scored his team’s last try (80th) in the final moments of the match and the world champions showed 100% success in scrum this Sunday. South Africa’s “Bomb Squad” continues to be unstoppable and the solution to countering it is not yet known…

Makazole Mapimpi virevoltant

Untenable. The three-quarter wing of the Boks scores a double against the Scots (4th, 35th). Each time found offshore, the South African made his liveliness and impetuosity speak to bring down the defensive curtain of the XV of the Thistle. Three crossings are also to the credit of the Sharks player, formidable weapon of the Sudafs’.

Sione Tuipulotu (super)powerful

Despite the Boks’ victory, the Scottish center will leave South Africa with bad memories. The Thistle XV player finished the match with an impressive total of 13 runs with the ball in hand. The defense of the world champions showed great difficulty in stopping the advances of the Melbourne native.

FLOPS

The Boks “black beasts” of the Scots

It’s been 14 years since the Thistle XV last won against the Springboks. The last Scottish victory against the four-time world champion nation dates back to… 2010 and a 21-17 victory at Murrayfield. A curse.

Scott Cummings (clearly) did not help his team

Scotland could have done without it. From the 11th minute of play, the 2nd row received a yellow card following a poor clearance. Following the video refereeing and the bunker, the Thistle XV player was finally permanently ousted from the match. Even if his team did not pay the costs at this point in the match, such a situation could cost his nation (much) more in the future.
