Both Bakkies Botha and Jake White hit out at the idea of the Boks playing in this jersey when in Salta.
Now I must admit, it probably won’t feel much like a Test match on Saturday night.
Not only is the game at 9.40pm, but the Bok strip will be weird to watch.
I love the idea of honouring unity through a Bok jersey, but aren’t we supposed to be united under the Green and Gold?
Apparently not.
Anyway, to me a red jersey says the Bok is bleeding.
The match in Salta will be way different to the one in Port Elizabeth.
Captain Eben Etzebeth paid tribute to the PE crowd after their win on Saturday.
One thing the Boks will know is that the crowd in Argentina will be hostile.
South Africa haven’t been the best travellers in recent years and this match has the potential to be a bit of a speed hump in their quest for Southern Hemisphere dominance.
