Clear 
On a balance - perhaps defence a bit shakey in places. But a good start for the boyties. Some expected rust. But that’s what these fixtures are all about.
Riley Norton is a Franco Mostert / Etzebeth hybrid. 100 caps in his stars.
Jasper Wiese was immense. Evan Roos - no slouch.
Pieter Steph playing 80 because wtf not.
If Jordie Barret is the best 12 in the world right now - Andre Esterhuisen is the best 12 in the Milky Way.
Porthen is my boy.
Vusi Moyo is also my boy.
Faf!
A good start to the season overall. Depth is real.
Thanks be for Springbok Rugby. Thanks be.
Bring it England.
Too bad we cant see this. As to Esterhuizen v JB, JB is playing the best rugby of his career right now outside Love. His “play” is good, but it is his game management that is next level. Unfortunately have not see ETH play for a while, but he must be playing some extraordinary rugby to be Mr Galaxy.
Still can’t find the match on Stan Sports. And still don’t have an actual answer to the question as to how to watch it in Australia.
In Australia if it wasn’t on Stan and you don’t have Sky NZ, then not possible, unfortunately.
Is it really on Stan sport in Aus? I can’t see it in the schedule?
I can’t find it at all?
