From Argentina, disappointment but not surprise. Congratulations and gratitude to whom we like to consider our elder brother. Thank you, for Barry Fairy Heatlie, former Springboks captain, who emigrated to Argentina in 1910 and became part of the first Argentine national team which played against a team of British residents. Thank you for being the first foreign national team to visit Argentina for a tour in 1932. Thank you for sending fitness coach Izak Van Heerden in 1964 to prepare the Argentine team so they could make their first tour outside of South America. Thank you because, during that tour in South Africa, when the Argentine team defeated the Junior Springboks, you gave our team its name by confusing the jaguar on the jersey with a puma. Thank you for hosting so many Argentinean tours since then. Also, for welcoming the youth teams of rugby clubs and for housing them with local families. Thank you for inviting the Pumas to the celebration match for Mandela's 90th birthday. Thank you for inviting the Pampas XV, a developmental team, to play in the Vodacom Cup between 2010 and 2013. Agustín Creevy, for example, improved there. Thank you for your crucial support in allowing the Jaguares to participate in Super Rugby in 2016, another very important developmental phase. Thank you for inviting Jaguares XV, another developmental team, to play in the Currie Cup in 2019, and the U-18 team to the U-18 International Series. Joaquín Oviedo, for example, improved there. And off course, thank you for your decisive support in allowing the Pumas to join the Rugby Championship in 2012. It has been incredibly tough for us to play against the three great Southern Hemisphere teams, but it was, and continues to be, the best school for us. I don’t expect the honor of the world multi-champions considering us as a younger brother, but at least you should know how we see you from Argentina.

[@ajayc641]

And you gave us the magic of Hugo Porta and many other special players. We always consider you part of our extended family.

[@MikeSavageZA]

Rassie's biggest trick yet - allowing Manie Libbok the space to show his true grit at 10 and silence the doubters by giving the kicking to Hendrikse, so that Manie can focus on playmaking, which he did beautifully, cementing the South African support for him. Also agreed Fassie had the game of his life, he was my man of the match, huge work rate and put himself in the right place at the right time, every time.

[@RubenRodriguez-wi5ys]

Rassies biggest trick was to keep 9 world champs in South Africa resting and today they were fully loaded for the game! And I am sure he is preparing 2 full teams to alternate during the next World Cup which gives tremendous advantage in such a short intense championship and no many countries can do this. Unfortunately Argentina does not have yet this depth to rest some players between matches and I think 🤔 today part of the team pay the price and was a bit tired 😮.

Those passes and in play kicks from Mannie were sensational.

He must feel such a sense of pride and connection to the Boks now, like he’s really part of the team. Fassi was deliberate and brave, definitely keen to see how him and Willemse line up in the future. A really impressive whole team effort. On the whole, a great game. And very entertaining. Looking very foward to the end of the year tour. As always Tim, perfect post match commentary ✌️✌️

Hahaha ... really? 7 points left on the table because he can't kick, and can't develop that skill. He kicked away 100% ball to make it 50/50 contestable ball almost every time. He threw forward passes. He threw hospital passes. He kick passed opportunities into the crowd instead of his wings. Sure a few came off, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. He's NOT Bok standards. As soon as he went off and Pollard came on, the points started to flow, because suddenly every ball to flyhalf wasn't being kick passed away hoping for the best.

Agreed. Do you think it is looking ominous for Faf and Cobus going forward short term ?

[@WORS06]

I dont care what anyone says, world rugby player of the year has to go to either PSDT or Kolbe.

[@EggchasersRugby]

Or Ox Nche? He has been immense this Rugby Championship

Rassies plan is to let the other players help Slowmo to look good. Only Slowmo must score from a lineout close to the try line. he is not that good. Wake up people. Thats Rassies plan for brownie points. 🤮🤮🤮

[@kevinewert8546]

Manie was brilliant.

[@rudolpherasmus2715]

It is quite scary, the Boks are now playing with brute force and physicality that they have always had. But they are also now playing expansive rugby and have flair to their game, able to go coast to coast from a kick-off and they are also able to use the full width of the pitch. They are playing the attacking game that the 2011-2015 All Blacks played with double the physicality and better defence than the All Blacks had. On top of that, they now have a squad of around 60 players, meaning they have at least three players in every position that can slot in at any time and do a solid job. The 2011-2015 All Blacks never had a squad of this magnitude. This truly is the greatest international side ever. (2 Rugby Championships, 2 Rugby World Cups and a Lions Series in the past 5 years) . And one would have to say the Boks are now slowing down. What a sight it would be, Siya lifting another Rugby World Cup at the close of the 2027 World Cup at the Suncorp Stadium,

[@stuartrix9231]

Absolutely beautiful to watch...... Well done Manie...... He will become the greatest fly half....

[@DonMcLeod-wk9un]

With a dominant forward pack and backline like Cheslin, Kurt-lee, Manie, Fassie, Sasha, Moodie, Damian, Edwil ...etc Tonyball has unbelievably scary potential.

[@paulcrosland6693]

Henco Van Wyk is another name For that back line . He is back from a dreadful injury

[@levikalombo1630]

Mapimpi and Am

[@johnholdsworth1878]

Manie was sublime today

[@zainbasha1749]

Tony Brown.....The man behind the Bokkies success. Well done

[@thegreytone]

Let's not get it twisted, Libbok has always been attacking minded. But Tony will structure it.

Great to see the Bokke playing their guts out and not taking their collective foot of the gas for the whole 80 minutes. What a game! The words that come to mind are versatility and creativity Well done, Eben, you're a superstar. We are immensely proud of you and all your teammates. I'm so glad the Bokke are my team. 😂

[@vp0029]

Rassie wiping tears from his eyes after the anthem. What a legend of a man!

[@chrismouton1985]

This was the performance I have been waiting for this entire Rugby Championship! Argentina was dangerous with ball in hand, but the Boks were at their brutal best. The Boks forwards were monsters and the backs were lethal. It seems like Tony Ball is starting to stick. Long live Bok rugby!

[@RozWentworth]

Salute to Los Pumas and Southern Hemisphere teams...great respect to our Southern Hemisphere brothers...From Bok supporter🎉🎉

The BOKKE played stunning rugby this evening!! 🎉 So, So proud to be South African and Springbok fan!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@ARCPrecisionSolutions]

As a saffa I can only say wow! Thanks Tim!

[@EggchasersRugby]

Agreed. Pretty much the only word I had to summarise that performance

[@MosesMatsepane]

I have been saying if Manie doesn't have to worry about this kicking, he would become a beast.

[@AskTorsten]

Best rugby channel by far. Thank you Argentina for traveling to SA. Springboks well done

[@mickeymouse-xr9gy]

PSDT is the best Bok of all time. Best player in world . Boks are 20 % weaker without him...

[@sicelobangani8618]

Talismanic perfomance by Manie, PSDT and Aphelele

[@Mr-Flibble]

This was billed as "The battle of Mbombela", it turned out to be a massacre. I've been saying for ages that Manie is a great #10, unfortunately he's a shit place kicker.

[@davidkruger5590]

Agreed.. But give him some time to gain some confidence and he might still surprise us all.

[@thegreytone]

Inconsistent yes, but even with that inconsistency he beats all the other SA union first five-eighths in the URC, leading point scorer twice in a row with most emanating from his boot.

[@albertbosman2311]

Thank you for your great commentary/summary/analysis etc Tim. I love listening to your passionate commentary. You are a great friend of South African rugby, and I love you for that. I am an expat living in Auckland, and every time I listen to you I feel like packing my bags and returning to my beloved country. Thank you again for your positive portrayal of South Africa - God bless you, my friend!

[@TheProtea09]

Aphelele Fassi's stocks have risen quite substantially after this game. Willemse will need to fight for that jersey 15 jersey back.

[@TipOfAfrica0010]

I agree on his stock rising however he needs to control the rush of blood to the head sometimes. Does one amazing thing only to fluff his lines a second later. I guess it'll come with more experience and his coaches and teammates having a whisper in his ear....

[@jamesstewart4402]

Thanks Tim, great feedback, and wow what a great result for our Team. Cheers for now and hello from Midrand, Johannesburg.

[@Sino_Tee]

Damien Willemse is going to have to make sure he's on his best game consistently. That Fassi and Libbok combo was absolutely deadly today. Well done to Los Pumas 🇦🇷 ! 'N Bok is 'n Bliksem!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@thegreytone]

To be honest, Fassi and Libbok played together at the Sharks for a short time, Jayden included. But Fassi read Manie better than Willemse that plays with Manie regularly, y? Because Damian is individualistic while Manie and Fassi is team orientated.

[@robcrocker348]

Yoh yoh yoh yoh, morning Tim, what a brilliant game, thank you to our braai brothers Argentina for bringing on to massive tests, my takes, the boks as a whole were awesome, pollard and am were just sublime off the bench, Eben, psdt and ox were awesome.
