    If O'Connor gets to play, as rumoured, I'm stoked for him. I rate him as an amazing talent who for (fill in the blank reasons) never completely closed out his international potential.
    At a visceral Bok supporter level - I hope we shut him down completely.
    Isn't rugby fun?!

    Oh come on, we all know your reason is he chose his birth country over the grandparent rule.

    Imminently beatable. Main strike weapons are the maul and the scrum and Arendse (5 tries in 2 tests against Oz), bugger

    Imminently beatable. Amongst their arsenal are such diverse weapons as:
    the maul and scrum
    Arendse (5 from 2) and
    Fassi and Moodie (each 1 from 1)

    Also shouldn’t forget the hot hand of Edwill van der Merwe (5 tries in 3 tests for the Boks) aaargh …

    I’ll come in again [exit and immediate reentry]

    Imminently beatable. Their ever-expanding arsenal is easily underestimated but contains such diverse weapons as:
    the maul and scrum
    The tryscoring threats of Arendse (5 from 2), Fassi and Moodie (each 1 from 1)
    Along with the hot hand of Edwill van der Merwe (5 tries in 3 tests for the Boks)
    To say nothing of two-time and current world player of the year PSDT

    Bugger.

    They are beatable if you can nullify their many and diverse threats.

    @delicatessen My bad. I realised I’d mistyped, but after @smuts had taken the bait so magnificently, there seemed little point in correcting!

    It's about 100NZD for the cheapest tickets, from what I've seen. Which is criminal in SA.

    I imagine niggles played a part, but I’d have had LSL on bench.

    I think that Wright would move into 1st 5 and Kellaway comes on at fullback.

    Schmidt has side they may still tweak the bench as the Donaldson injury happened late Thursday.

    Kellaway can play 10 or someone like Paisami or Edmed could come onto the bench

    @pakman Watching that - I wouldn't mind him coaching the ABs.
    And I loved him throwing shade on Rassie by omission. Repeatedly giving praise to Tony Brown, Felix Jones, and "the athletes he has at hand" - but... the unsaid was greater than the said.
