This entire scrum circus was orchestrated by one member of the South African media, continued on by the South African media. The fan base is in a frenzy over it. It’s all 🇿🇦 driven. NZ media have reacted to it, sure, but they aren’t asking these questions continually. There will

Rennie’s team is positioned perfectly. They needed to freshen up the pack and they’ve done that. Aumua - power, Darry - best in form lock, Lakai - power & poaching, Samisoni - power, Sititi - power. The Boks have not freshened up their starting team. Attrition in this series

A big problem for the All Blacks is slow starts in 2026.
They have only scored points first in 1/5 Tests so far in 2026, against Ireland at Eden Park. Under Razor, they were first scorers in 16 of the 27 Tests (59% of the time).
The best start in this World Cup cycle for the

Rassie is flogging his vets with big minutes in this series:

@bensmithrugby Ben, careful — you’re analysing the scrum in slow motion as if the objective is to create a perfectly symmetrical picture.
It isn’t.
At Test level the scrum is a fight for centimetres. Ox gets half an inch, changes Lomax’s shape and suddenly the geometry belongs

@bensmithrugby The reason Ox has had to move is to make contact. That whole front row is not scrumming straight. Lomax has pulled back. Sneaky games. https://t.co/x0IXfzaVYT

Lomax is “re-aligned” inward so Nche has the leverage to bore in or wheel.
Lomax off kilter before the push, its never going to hold up.
Erasmus complaining about resets. How about stop the

@bensmithrugby When you know nothing about scrums but need the income, so you resort to trolling instead. 😂
The game starts at 17:00. Let’s see what happens when the theory meets the scrum.

@bensmithrugby Only half? So we still have the other half, which is more than enough for dominance 💪🏉 Dude, for your own sake, you need to unwad your panties😂

Half of Springbok scrum ‘dominance’ is just illegal wheeling. Rotate it early until it falls apart and have the pack drive through at the end. All for show.
