Happy to see a Zulu man in the team...let the love spread around KZN so that the E Cape is not the only province to give this team stars

[@luciotillicks6906]

Can we please stop with stereotypes indications rather positive feedbacks for our team and country, they are all team members belonging the green and gold, No race or province orientation.

[@eddiegitau1107]

In Kenya we are also happy to see certain ethnicities make it into the team because the game is dominated genetically by certain other ones

[@bjornhoffmann6008]

@@luciotillicks6906 missing the point here. I said this because the E Cape is rugby mad and I'd love to see the same for KZN. Imagine being able to broaden your player pool even further and start filling King's Park each weekend

True Rassie, one drop goal in the injury time really should not change your plan. A great drop goal by the way, a very smart player by the way!! A great game too

I love how Rassie avoided questions 😂 Franco broke his leg 😂 what a real champion to stay on the field ❤ I died for for my country, and it's nice to see these men are willing to do the same😊 😊

If you died for your country how are you commenting?

Rassie looks like he needs a 6 week break .. love that statement .. "Its a proper test match, In Bloem to a sell out crowd" This team looks like its ripe for the Aus tour

[@davidwalker2402]

It’s a proper test 😂 I wish Portugal well cant see them win but hopefully they give a good account of themselves. Rassie looks like Ireland took a lot out of him 😂

Wouldve loved to see steenkamp start, moerat sa captain is a joke tbh and he is really not great...there are like 3 or 4 locks better than him not even in the squad...hope louw gets more than 20min to show why he is better than roos....dont understand why trevor is still here above W.Louw....im guessing moodie isnt ready...just hoping that guys like grobelaar, wessels, venter, louw and morne show why they must start getting game time above our older players
