All Blacks vs Springboks II

[cgrant]

Malherbe is a big loss for the SA team. Koch is probably an even better scrummager but he is - for reasons unknown to me (racial quotas ?) - always kept on the bench. Is Nyakane a reliable THP ? The ABs should win the scrum battle till Kitshoff and Koch enter the pitch.

I hate having to ask but when is the team named? I assumed 1:30. Is it 2:30?

I think it will be later, 4pm? Cos they're doing it a set number of hours before kick off, now

@machpants That's a pretty daft policy. Just name it at the same time each week if the game is on the same day!

[chimoaus]

Didn't the Boks name their team days ago, I wonder why they leave it so late.

I could be wrong but that's what it looked like. I agree, stupid

Ted used to name it on the Wednesday then Hansen went to last moment and Fozzie has kept up with it! It irks me!!!

@hooroo Especially when Grant Fox said, on Monday, that they know the team on Tuesday!

With stadium capacity now reduced to 75% in QLD due to restrictions announced today there might be a few people who cannot attend this.

Hopefully the SA medical staff so the players have no choice but to play on...
