Predictions on margin?
What innovation is Rassie innovating?
What percentage of the crowd are people who don't want to live in South Africa?
Margin - not by as much. It will be raining in London
Innovation - 7/1 bench split may be back
Percentage - 100%. Including the South Africans

Cute. Glad NZ aren't facing a bit of a brain-drain crisis form their youth at the moment then
On to the rugby with less pithy commentary:
There will be some interesting shuffling in that Bok 23.
Willemse is likely out, which leaves only Willie as an out-and-out 15.
Not sure he'll crack the nod though. Quite possible that SFM goes to 15, with Libbok at 10 and Pollard on the bench?I also suspect Andre Esterhuizen will be given a start at 12.
Forwards - meh. Same lot, maybe just some differences on who starts and who gets that bomb squad duty. -

Tighter than last time
What innovation is Rassie innovating?
No need for innovation for this game
What percentage of the crowd are people who don't want to live in South Africa?
Don't you live in the UK? ...if so, will you be there to witness the world #1 team play?

I wonder what percentage of NZ AB fans on this forum actually live in NZ. Would be an interesting exercise...

I suspect there are a lot of kiwis who want to live in NZ and can't afford to.

@W32
haha
20% of NZ citizens dont actually live in NZ. So i'd say at least 20%.
And I'd say at least 50% of their pro rugby players and coaches don't live in NZ either.
They then bring in temps, to do the shit jobs, for shit pay.
That's how Enzed works. -
One change to Springboks XV for Rugby Championship title decider
South Africa loosehead prop Ox Nche is set to start against Argentina on Saturday at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium for the final match...

Hard to know what's going to happen in this game. SFM will almost certainly be targeted and shut down. He's been very injury prone, so we will see how that goes. The boks have more gas in the tank, so I expect the argies will run out of puff in the last 15 minutes or so.

I wondered if the Pumas had decided in last 15 to conserve enrrgy for this week?

Hmmmm.? Contepomi looked completely defeated in his post match interview, he's a good actor if that's the plan. I guess its possible, but I got the idea that they just didn't have an answer, like the ABs the week before. They didn't give up, they were just blown out of the water

So despite what I had heard, Damian is good to go and starts again at 15.
That means the backs are unchanged.
Ox is back, so a bit of reshuffling on the bench - delighted to see Bongi there.
Ditto for Grant Williams.5-3 split.
I feel a bit for Andre Esterhuizen, but Jessie getting a run out is good too.
Same goes a bit for Pollard, but it seems we are doubling down on Tony-ball. -

It. Will. Be. Raining.
Meh.
Not sure that favours any of the 2 teams either way.
It will be what it will be.
And, (don't shoot me right now), maybe by that time the Wallabies will have done the dirty on the ABs already

Running out of replacements would have been quite a bitter pill. Hard to beat Boks with 14 players!
