They will become a proper threat. Their backline was extremely impressive. Arendse also got reeled in by that winger - there's some serious pace in their back 3.
It’s a fair comment that every game changes and as every game changes the ref does to but with that said I don’t think it was the case in this game as you can see it in the RG penalty as the ref was still holding some feelings on him for things he’s done weeks gone As the the first set of hand bags was him against four players and then the second one was him taken out off the ball and yes he reacted but this was not the only off the ball act by the wolves there were many more yet nothing done about it So in saying that once again the other team gets away with things but the boks are consistently looked at with fine tooth brush
Thanks for your comment and checking out the video! I hear you - on some of those scuffles, perhaps the refs see things being ON field that even the TV doesn't showcase - bad language, niggling etc. Perhaps that also sways refs as some of them have ZERO tolerance for that (Nigel Owens comes to mind).
Thanks for the comment and checking the video. Too hard as in trying to be harsh with the cards? Esterhuizen's incident ticked all the boxes for a red (unfortunately), but Arendse's yellow was harsh IMO. Penalty at the maximum.
A clinical and balanced analysis. Well done.
Cheers, thanks for the comment! - Jeremy
Agreed Portugal were very exciting. And gave us a few real frights.

Nah the ref was trying too hard. And she's slow to arrive at play.
