SA had 20 good minutes against Argentina and had an awful rest of the 1st half. Second half Libbok's kicking wasn't as dreadful and SA brought it back. Was a fun game to watch, much better showing from us than the last game

Yes, I enjoyed it muchly. Suspect SA in that opener the target for Scotland still
