The South African hooker Bongi Mbonambi hasn’t missed a throw so far in the Rugby Championship. What an incredible stat that is and shows how good the South African line-out has been as a whole.

100% – Bongi Mbonambi is the only hooker with a 100% lineout success rate in #TRC2024, finding a teammate with 19/19 throws, while fellow @Springboks Ruan Nortje (18) and Eben Etzebeth (16) rank first and second respectively for lineout takes this campaign. Drilled. pic.twitter.com/tjRSvqhFoj

I’m fascinated by him practicing the throw on his knees. Why does he do that?
Brilliant accuracy from Bongi
It’s going to make for a cracking text match again this Saturday between both South Africa and New Zealand at a sold out DHL stadium in Cape Town. If New Zealand lose this one again, heads will role .. Scott Robertson will find himself under pressure with only in the job a matter of weeks.
The New Zealand public demand a lot out of that team.
