Nah

Full strength SA with no brain farts will win by a stretch

By full strength do we mean the team that is picked, or being able to keep 15 men on the pitch or both?

For what it is worth, while I am loving the Boks at the moment, I don't buy in to the absolute favourites tag.
If the Boks are not close to 100% I believe a number of top teams can roll them. Ireland definitely being one of them.
Going to be very nervous for this one.

Both

Would love to buy into this, but Ireland looked like they are back to the ireland of the last few years last saturday. The bokke will be up for it since they haven't beaten ireland at the aviva in ...something like 13 years. Ireland have also won 4 of the last 5 apparently.

Game on

If the Springboks can cut out their unmitigated filth for once, they'll steamroll the Irish.

Seriously though, they're playing attractive rugby with confidence and squad depth. Should be a two score difference at the end.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean yeah not expecting this to be close.

Long season.

If Ireland win the aerial battle this will be tasty.

Think SA are the best side in the world, think Ireland are on a slide from their peak, think therefore SA should win. But i have a funny feeling about this one and think Ireland might just get up and win

[OomPB]

The Irish will need to start quick. The Boks bom squad can be the difference. No locks on the Irish bench.

SFM to cut Pendergast or whatever his name is, in half. Rassie giving the old firm of de allende and kriel last chance to set the record straight

[OomPB]

We may get a surprise. Ireland's aerial game is good, maybe a bit more running, testing their defense. Look like they will get par scrumtime but when the bom squad get on I think they will struggle to get possession.

Somewhat disrespectful ...but yeah, he looks rather fragile.

He’s had a few shockers. A bit like Pillock in that he’s pretty sure he’s all that. Wait that’s not true lately. Sam P has grown on me a bit

You’re like Murray Mexted in that respect. Savant like

[The Irishman]

Can't see anything other than a Boks victory. SA by 10-12.

[sparky]

Kick off in five minutes. Boks the big favourite if you ask me.

Kolisi must be one of the worst singers on Rugby fields, which isn't that important, but had to mention after that performance
