The report has just dropped from a crazy, topsy-turvy Test.

That was great fun. I hope you enjoyed it! It certainly sets up next week’s showdown in Durban. Both sides with plenty to work on but both sides can still be proud of their performance.

Thanks for hanging.

Til next time…

Game of fine margins. I think this sums up that Test for me.

Also weird thing: I do think all those decisions were actually accurate in the end, but we have to recognise how extremely fortunate we are to have come out on the right side of so many tight ones.
