#12 JUSM: the Abs have other luxury against Boks - every point has double value. Of course, it makes any sense only if ABs are winning.

#10 Big Hit: let's take one step at the time. After Boks game we will know more clearly about the chances. as far as I know, there are still 2 games to play and both in NZ where both Aus and SA cannot boast successive record. Sounds encouraging enough.

it is simple really, they can throw it around against aus and even if aus score four tries and get within 7, it don’t matter as long as the blacks get the win and 4 tries.

against the boks they don’t have that luxury. they have to restrict us form getting points. the wallabies are out of it so no worries there.

yeah right chasing a win first that is true but they require the bonus point win and will definitely be chasing that.

#6 Nils: a NZ 3N win. #7 wallaroos: it is rather insulting to state it publicly I must admit. No doubt Deans will use it to motivate the Wallies.

#7 wallaroos: oh yeah, glad to see you came with something original too, rather then the tired, cliched chokers call, bravo... if it wasnt for those "chokers" Aussie rugby would have folded in the late 70s, early 80s... forget this or just too young to know?

#7 wallaroos: I think the ABs would rather just win both, if they get the bonus then it is exactly that, a bonus... as for the insinuation that they would try to get it against Aussie, the very style of NZ vs Aust games is more conducive to try-scoring, do you agree? and besides, when they have come over the top of your team twice in successive games (how many points vs ABs have the Wobblies scored in both second halves? curious to know actually) surely they can be a little optimistic?

Fancy the ABs talking up their chances with the Wallabies.. so they imply that the 5points will be their target for the Wallabies and 4pts is all they would content with on this Boks games..Go Boks go. Smash the ABs good this time round so they would CHOKE everytime they come against yous in the near future…

#3 WP_: Keep in mind that every point ABs gain vs Boks, deduce point difference twice. So mathematically they can nullify that difference by 20 point win and even 10-12 point win will significantly ease last game requirements.

Our points difference is +25 and theirs is -14. so they need to make up quite a few points. They’ll need to smash the aussies

“We can chase it all we want but if they get a point then it’s over anyway.”

No, it’s not. Then it’s 10 points required with huge win over Aussies.
