Oof.
They really need a Sexton clone. Or 3.

Man a whole day of internationals is always fun.
Fuck me that Ireland score line was a surprise, I was convinced it'd be close and tense not a blow out.

What excuses did Eddie Jones trot out this time? I'm going to guess at one or more of the following:
We're building towards the World Cup.
This is a young, inexperienced side.
I think the ref got [X] wrong.
Owen Farrell is a Test match animal.
Fine margins, maaate.
Did I mention the World Cup already?

That was pretty scummy from Jonny Hill, to be honest - he initiated the whole thing by pulling Swain's hair, then did the, "Did you see that shit?" shtick with his arms outstretched in feigned incredulity after the headbutt.
There was also this, earlier in the game:
Swain deserved to go, but Hill should've walked with two yellows.

Fairly sure that is actually a red, I know there's no force behind it but he just rams two hands in the guy's face in totally open play where there's no tackle or anything.

I wouldn't query a straight red for that either, to be honest.
Either way, he should've been sent off. Hopefully he'll be cited.

I did see people on twitter citing the head contact tackle protocols to say a yellow, but I'm fairly sure the applicable law is the foul play of just hitting someone for no fucking reason and being a scumbag. A perfectly legal tackle against someone without the ball standing around would get you yellowed that's a red.

At least he's not Ewels, but I hope some other locks come good soon

I know it's League but the commentary sums up my feelings on Hill.

The Boks are playing like they met in the carpark, but really impressive defence by Wales.
Frustrates me how every Boks match is really foul tempered and has at least one outright dirty shot, they're the only team that gets me rooting slightly for Wales, which is really saying something. They can piss off with the water break nonsense as well.

My distaste for Dan Biggar is well established, but that was one hell of a drop-goal (even allowing for the altitude factor).

Harsh card that. The momentum leaves De Klerk on top of him.
W's maul defence is outstanding

Everytime I'm convinced Wales are kinda fucked and out of ideas they manage to pull off an annoying niggly match where they drag everyone down to their level.

Wales down to 12, as the Boks take the lead with a penalty try, only for Wales to pull it back with a try of their own on 77 minutes! 29-29.
What a bizarre game.

Strange to think this is the first game the Bokke have played at home in front of a crowd since WC2019. Looking forward to the highlights later. Gutsy from Wales as usual.
