If the ref rules against Pocock like he should, then SA will clip them. Pocock is a great fetcher, but most of the time he approaches the ruck from the side, or very very close to it. Great battle looming between him and Brussow.

Genia and FdP – thats mouthwatering stuff – clearly the 2 best halves in the RWC, Schalk needs a big one to wrap him and keep him contained within the ensuing rucks.

Steyn is your most important asset now, he is a ruthless goal kicker, and positional play kicker. Not sure about his defense if the Aussies target his channel, he’s going to need some suport there.

I’m backing you guys to do this, although if Aussie were to get through and we get through the Argies, then facing Aus at Eden Park is a prospect most kiwis would be content with. SA havent had much fun at Eden Park too I guess, but it seems to spook Aussie more – look at what happnened against the Irish.

No doubt O’connors kicks were easier. Morne was slotting some from 50 out at an angle. That b-itch O’connor can hardly kick further than 35m.

So Steyn is 19/23 = 83% overall
O’connor is 14/18 = 78% overall

Doesn’t seem like a big difference, but think of it this way, O’connor has to nail his next 5 kicks in a row to draw level with Steyn.

No he is not. He is the “back door” i.e. they hide him at the back …. but he still runs in from no where to handbag McCaw from behind, or knee him in the face “by accident” like the coward he is.

They are so up their own arses it is pathetic, and oh so quick to forget the Ireland game as well as the fact that they have been beaten 10 out of 12 times by the All Blacks.

They come in their pants at the “Tri-Nations Champions 2011″ tag, but completely ignore the fact that both the ABs and the Boks did not take the tournament seriously and used it as a training run.

This, on top of the S15 “Title”, which I think is a joke due to the fact that the Crusaders played the bottom placed team ZERO times (Lions and Rebels) and the Reds played them twice each.

Coopers antics and his caring on of cheap shotting McCaw, is synonymous with this widgat attitude. Cooper does not deserve to lick McCaws boots in terms of rugby pedigree and overall respect.

Bring back Eales, Kearns, Willie O and Horan. They were the real Wallabie deal. These guys are pretenders.

I cannot wait for a fired up, focused, experienced Bok team to smash these guys in a REAL test, when it matters most.

Once and for all.

The Day of Reckoning is at hand. It may be days away or weeks away but happen it will.

Matty G is the one big mistake Deans made in his squad.

I called for Matty G and Barnes in that cenral pairing but it did not happen.

Look it is KO stage and anything can really happen. But if it is a runaway it is more likely to be the Aussies running away to score tries than other way round.

In the last pool game Cooper was more patient and controlled. The words of Campese are wringing in his ears even now.

The Aussie forwards will take it to the Boks as they did in Durban and their missing pieces will fall into place now.

It seems your red ball gag has come out again. Let old Kobus ram it back in for you. Gimp.

Is it the Fijians or the Samoans or the Tongans that have sampled you most since your arrival there?

You want those big Aussie blokes and the 35 year old Fijian mounting you, hey? Over and over.
