    @poppa69(poppa69)-348: Is that other rubbish here? How can I tell him to “stick to rugby”? I responded to a comment from you, not him.

    @poppa69(poppa69)-349: Wow. Seek help brother.

    Have a good one. Enjoy the rugby. May the best team win. And may the supporters, BOTH SIDES BROTHER, be modest in victory or humble in defeat.

    How about we all just ignore the low dog, no one talk to him, he’s not worth it. He is obviously spreading vitriolic nonsense in order to get our reaction, and that pleasures him no end, he gets an extra kick when playing left hand keyboard, hand right hand jiggy jiggy when we respond.

    @TheAgent(TheAgent)-352: modest in victory?

    you mean like AFTER the 2009 3Ns?

    or humble AFTER the Eden park test in 2010? when it was “better they won because they have a WC and they need to put bums on seats” ?

    yep…I hope you enjoy the game tonight too, should be an absolute cracker…

    @poppa69(poppa69)-362:

    if ABs dont get any breakdown ball, dont expecting toooo much “running through” by anyone. Messam & Shaggy are a bit too lightweight for my liking and will potentially get blown off the ball. Im given comfort by the Beast of Kaino there to man the trenches but I suspect he may not be enough on his own. I hope Im wrong but i suspect this will be where the winning and losing of the Test comes down to. Bear in mind with no Bad Thorn there either, the rucks will get slowly and the breakdown slower and ABs game relies heavily on quick ball.

    OK, I think we’re both saying the same thing.

    @Black Magic(Black Magic)-364:

    My Heart is BLACK

    My Head says Bokke this time

    23 – 17

    It will be scrappy and Boks will Bring the Biff to rattle the relatively inexperienced spine of the ABs. It will come early and en masse ala 99. And if Dear BaXXies gets his upteenth early shower, you’ll hear me from there.

    @Black Panther(Black Panther)-366: nah, disagree about Messam, was very good in the chiefs pack all season, has the required physicality, what worries me with him is he has a tendency to get isolated…

    Thompson will be nuisance value, and Im sure Cowan will annoy Baxxies to a point that SA may have to play with 14 men for 10 minutes again :lol:

    the props dont instill confidence in me, but I think we’ll at least gain parity with the SA forward pack, who will still be searching for synergy imo…

    @poppa69(poppa69)-365: @Black Panther(Black Panther)-366:

    Totally agree. Lightweight locking duo, combined with Messam at 8 who I don’t rate at all, spends the entire game crabbing sideways across the field, Thomo out of position.
    I think the boks, especially with tubby not playing, will have us up front. We need to weather the storm and hang on. The first 50 will be ferocious. If it’s close at the 60 min mark, we are in with a better than even chance. Should be a great game regardless, plenty in it for both sides.

    get outta here

    Woodcocks 1st game back from a long injury, vs Boks, in SA ?

    big call

    supported in the scrum by 2 x tall lanky locks in Whitelock and Ali ?

    I forsee NZs recent scrummaging domination of SA teams becoming a little messy.

    I think Ka Mate. Some mind games now, the other seems reserved for the ultimate challenger and that was used for Aussie. Whether they are or not isnt the point, but thats the subliminal message they may look to send. Hope it doesn’t back fire if thats the case tho.

    @TheAgent(TheAgent)-327: So for THEM they were the big games. strange, after all they were the best SA could offer this year.

    What are your thought about tomorrow clash? I’d say 50-50, full strenght rested desperados at home vs Backup Blacks with plenty of talent while unknown quality as a team unit.

    @Nils(Nils)-377: Stormers fold in big games lately. Bulls, who finished 7th beat them at Newlands 2nd last game.

    Tomorrow I think Boks will win. They should. I have it 30-22, but might be way out. Backup Blacks in some positions yes, but most will go to WC. Unlike the team SA sent over. Most of that team wont go. Regardless, I hope for a big game. As long as Boks win and both sides stay injury free, I’m happy. Would love to see us meet in the semi with both teams at full strength.

    @TheAgent(TheAgent)-380: I’d say Blacks by 6 and will be happy for even a single point. Looking forward to good battle, knowing that Boks should do better than last week and have very good chances to win.

    Someone said it earlier, and well played — at least whoever wins this match, we can expect them to react with a bit of class, unlike the Wallabies.

    Too many variables to consider for this game. Abs need to sustain 80 minute effort and implement game plan. Attack Boks at setpieces especially what boks see as their strengths, the lineout. Try to put them into two minds by varying play which takes skill and guile but remember to do the basics well.

    I can see the SA pack having a storming game but I cant for the life of me see this Bok back-line convert the points. We have seen these same players play many times and other than DuPreez, Fourie and Habana(not for a long time) have we seen real creative try scoring opportunities being produced. Habanas tries (back in the day it must be said)in the main were usually intercepts relying on his incredible speed .
    The AB back three are far better at catching than they were in 2009 and the kick and chase will play into NZs hand. The Boks will hope its a grim forward battle with little opportunity for either back-line. The ABs back line are far superior at taking opportunities. I see some pundits talking about score lines in the thirties. If thats the case its good night SA. If its low scoring and relying on pressure kicks and 10 man rugby the SA are in with a chance.
    In a one off matches quality teams are always in with a chance and so could be the case in this test match but realistically SA don’t have the game to win the RWC . Im afraid its going to take a disastrous RWC to prove that.
    Gotta love Bok vs AB though. No matter where its still the marquee event.
