Springboks vs All Blacks I
-
I can't see anything but two losses, were not at SA level at all. But rugby results can be crazy, so maybe we get one if we have a ref that doesn't card and his hard on time wasting, and the boys front up like the first forty versus ARG. A lot of things have to go well tho.

We have a chance because:
- we have a scrum
- we have some young forwards who are gaining confidence. tMightyW, Darry, Vaai
- forwards are still more important than backs
- DMac will be a handful on the firm grounds
- dont spin rubbish ball as we'll get done in midfield
- choose the fast wingers Jordan, Clarke
SA still favourites though

Referee: Andrew Brace (Ire)
ARs: Matt Carley (Eng) & Jordan Way (Aus)

Did you see how poor they were against Oz in the second test?
I think if we turned up like the first half last weekend we're halfway there.

I see they made 10 changes to the side. How many first choice players did they have in their squad last night?

Springbok team is easy to predict. Willie, KLA, Kriel, De Ellende, Kolbey, Pollard, Reinach, Wiese, Kolisi, PSdT, RG Snyman, Etsebeth, Malherbe, Bongi, Ox.
Bench maybe 7/1 with SMZ the only back.
Kitshoff, Marx, Koch, Moerat, Nortje, BJD, Kwagga, SMZ -
