And they run in the opposite direction.
The game is a bit flat at the moment. Maybe the 2nd half brings a change in tactics and tempo. #SAvFRA #SSRugby

Tat’s the way to do it.
@Springboks probably have most inked halfbacks in the history of the game of rugby #SAvFRA #SSRugby

The Springboks’ answer to Fikile Mbalula, yes?
I might be wrong but Hougaard looking very busy without really achieving much. #SAvFRA #ImissRoss

8 year old: Did Jean de Villiers retire?
6 year old: Yes. He was getting too tall.Best commentary.

Wait, AB de Villiers has a rugby team??
Based on these performances I think this springbok side could easily match and beat ABs this year

Happy? Someone appears to have spontaneously combusted!
A test try on his home ground for @M_marxi2 have the crowd pretty happy to say the least. Jantjies converts, 28-12; 17 to play @BokCountry pic.twitter.com/ycDKxVtnJO

Strength in depth y’all.
Rudy Paige from the bench. How's that for a pass from Bongi Mbonambi? Elton Jantjies kicks. The flags are up. Boks are 35-12 over France.
