Too much, the captain was even sexy in his aggressiveness ❤️❤️❤️

[@mikescudder4621]

Good comeback by the Bokkes... curious some of the breakdown calls though.

[@anwarfaardiel5214]

Maybe better luck next time aussies. You were outplayed, out musseled and out smarted.

Unfortunately I think that is our team motto at the moment

Ben O’Keefe ruined this game, it seemed as if he thought all those people came to watch him. The Mapimpi yellow was particularly egregious. Glad that the Springboks won

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Ben O'Keefe was the second best referee we have had in the tournament so far. Don't know what game you were watching.... sure, he was not perfect, but he was pretty fair and mostly consistent. Makazole yellow was wrong, but it was more of a cop out than a genuine decision lol.
