I too was very cynical about this game because it’s never fun to watch your team subject a tier 2 team to a bloodbath, but in many respects that was a win for both teams: A heroic Portugal scoring three fabulous tries against the best team in the world and winning everyone’s hearts, while a debutant Boks team showed their class despite playing with 13-14 players for the entire game.

You know Tim, Portugal has a history in South Africa's history. They were the first European nation to colonise the Cape back in the 1500's and establish a halfway-house to their eastern colonies. Their legacy is still in our bloodlines, our language (Afrikaans) and in our food. South Africa has always been a welcome place for the Portuguese people and is why there is still such a vibrant Portuguese South African community. We were absolutely delighted at their wonderful performance in the world cup. We like it that the Lobos are doing so well in international rugby and we will always be a welcome berth for them, as we are for you. We know who our friends are.

Great showing, methinks. We saw some good play by stalwarts Arendse, Am, Mapimpi and Snyman. Dixon was excellent, Roos was a lot more disciplined than his last outing. Moerat was solid and I was very impressed with Thomas "The Tank" Du Toit, both while scrumming and in open play. Grobbelaar was a handful. Fassie was maybe a bit quiet but I can understand with a man off, he couldn't play his normal game. Phepsi Buthelezi was also a bit quiet. I feel sorry for Libbok but he just isn't a reliable kicker and unless we put a specialist kicker on, I cannot see how we can afford to have him there, especially now that you have someone as gifted as Sacha. Speaking of which, Sacha was fantastic. Nasty 50-22 kick, lovely grubber or two, excellent run to create a try and he had a few hard kicks and didn't miss any. He will be our Carter one day. As for Portugal, I love them, I was so proud to see our people cheer for them. One would swear that they won the world cup at the end there and I'm so glad these group of top guys got to experience test rugby like this.

I thought that was one of the best outings by a ref in some time: let the game flow nicely, made decisions quickly and decisively, communicated well with players. (Even as a Bok supporter it's good to see a scrumhalf finally get pinged for taking too long.) Hope to see much more of Hollie Davidson on the international stage.

Thanks Tim, your attitude towards SA is commendable, especially being Brittish. Our association with Portugal goes back a long time vandag in fact it was the Portuguese who supplied the boer with Portuguese Mauser against British invasion and war against boer republics. I honestly rate your rugby commentary and approach the highest of All rugby You tubers and normally cannot wait for your report. Sasha is a Star , Amm is pure class and SA have an abundance of scrumhalves. Cannot believe RG was man of the match, Amm and Mapimpi were more influential. Looking forward to our old rugby foes, All Blacks.

I enjoyed the game. Was really impressed by the Portuguese. I think they can keep their heads up. They deserve all the kudos that has come their way. The guy who sang the Portuguese national anthem is a Portuguese born SA singer from the band MI Casa. His name is pronounced Jay Something. His real name is Joao and people struggled to pronounce it, so he changed it to that. The Boks obviously was expected to win and win big, but they never looked out of place. I am a Roos fan, but definitely not a great game. Mapimpi was very good as was KLA. Thought that Dixon could have been a contender for MOTM. Am was good. Manie must be under so much pressure and looked like it got to him. Sasha only played about 30 mins, but like Beauden Barrett in T2 against England could have been MOTM.

@@garthmanuel5701 If we play Sacha at 15, what about Willie, Willemse and Fassi? We cannot have Sacha replace players who have actually performed in their positions just to accommodate a kicker who cannot kick. Despite his excellent skills in open play, Manie has had ages to work on his kicking at the poles and yet still disappoints. Sacha at 10 with Pollard, Manie is the backup. Willie and Willemse at 15 with Fassi as backup.

Love Mannie, but Dobbo needs to do the right thing and let Sacha start at 10 this season. He needs to hone his skills in that role for the betterment of the nation and the three-peat. We have a future World Player of the Year in Sacha; something has to give. Am is out of this world, playing both center positions against a team that runs the ball like Portugal-godly. Mapimpi is not done yet; he's going to beat Joost's record and will only be second to Brian. Watch!

Amazing analysis from our SA boetie Tim🇿🇦 Some things I was thinking about….. 1. I think the referee was a touch intrusive (not terrible but maybe a little jumpy) - didn’t think that was a red, albeit she didn’t actually upgrade the card herself. Also thought it was unnecessary to reverse the penalty with Snyman and thought she was far too quick to give a penalty for slow play on the back of the ruck kick. 2. Portugal showed such fantastic attacking flare and passion! We have a strong and vibrant Portuguese community in SA so was awesome to see! 3. Manie may have sunk his immediate Bok future. Love Libbok and have huge respect for everything he has done for the jersey but unfortunately can’t have a sub 50% conversion rate in test rugby😓….. 4. Sasha could do no wrong! Great to see a young man with so much confidence. His running style/offloads gave me Pollard 2015 vibes🤷♂️ Little voice inside me is telling me we need to be careful with him i.e. not overhype or ruin his career by dropping him into the flyhalf/centre/fullback quagmire!! But definitely looking good🙏 5. So nice to see Mapimpi back on the scorecard with a hat-rick. A true South African legend! Thanks for the video! Keen to have you back in the country ASAP🙏💪🇿🇦
