Faf de Klerk

how well did monet play now that he got a start ronnie all

right yeah no outstanding right so he had a brilliant game and i'm really genuinely surprised at how good he is i mean he was good before and like yesterday he just showed me that you know we're in we're in good hands for the for the foreseeable future at scrum off Sorry for Faf de Klerk, right? So that's the biggest issue.

Yeah, he actually looks a lot like Faf for the aggression that he brings to that nine jersey.

And it's really like it's a watch.

And I think that, so Cobus Reinach is okay, um, but he was rotated out for the third match, and they haven't, uh, Oséa Papé hasn't delivered.

I could easily see Faf de Klerk come back in there.

And 10, Andrew Pollard is entering the, sorry, is, has been in the twilight of his career for a while.

And Feinberg-Mbinga has, I would say he fluffed his lines, uh, when given that.

I thought he did really, really well.

Faf de Klerk, man.

He's Faf and, you know, he just needs to grow his hair a bit.

There you go.

$500,000 question.

Which player holds the record for most consecutive wins at international level with 32 in a row? Is it A, Ben Kay, B, Wyatt Crockett, C, Andrew Horwar, or D, Faf de Klerk?

Ooh.

Ooh.

Okay

... consecutive wins in a row at international level with 32.

Ben Kay, Wyatt Crockett, Andrew Horwar, Faf de Klerk.

And in any game, right?

Finn Russell going to Bath.

Faf de Klerk coming here.

Yeah, but-

I mean, he was relatively unknown, wasn't he?

Yeah.

Speaking of the Pumas, Sago Kamlase, Sharateem, outside centre, vice-captain, they went to... against Faf de Klerk.

Our colleague, Lisa, was on the bench, number 22.

Shout out to him.

Oh, but I have to go to training.

So, but look, I watched the first half.

I wasn't able to watch the second half and the cheaters look really good not that the Pumas just look like indifferent the cheaters look solid across the across the field in bloom reasonably well attended a game but then Pumas came back and won by three points at the end so shout out to Jimmy Stonehouse and those players and I don't know if you did or didn't watch the game, Christy, but we'll get your thoughts anyway on Pumas winning away in Bloemfontein against Faf de Klerk, Lille, Jakob van der Waal, Francois Steen.

I've been watching rugby for too long.

So, um, that's kind of what I have found.

It's a bit of chess, right? I think the South Africans tried to play a lot in that first test match with Faf de Klerk and Mbonambi.

A lot of the kind of clunkiness around probably not having that test match, like how the, um, the All Blacks were able to have in the July series, is they rested a lot of them during the URC.

Um, and they're trying to go at the back.

You know, Damien had a go.

Faf de Klerk was having a go with his left footers.

And so did Cheslin.

Looking at those three, I remember thinking, Cheslin looked the most natural of the lot.

It'll just be more of, like, going to your set piece DNA, especially if it's gonna be wet, playing 10-man rugby to a certain extent, and being able to put the high ball under pressure, the All Blacks under pressure, and being able to squeeze them.

Now, Manie Libbok, you know, even such as F- uh, Sa- uh, Faf de Klerk and Mbonambi do show that they are able to, to...

They run, and they can kick, but, um, Manie in his, you know, previous test matches has shown he's been able to do that.

So, um, and like, like you said, if it's gonna be forecasted for rain, we know it's gonna be heavily kicking.
