To be clear, there's no sand in there.

Eisch. Was hard to watch but the ABs were outstanding.
I had a strong feeling that they would be the dark horse to win the RWC. France looks the most vulnerable of the two to me. I had suggested we throw the Irish game and it's starting to look like I got it right. Just got to get through Tonga with as little damage as possible. Namibia did us a favor. Tonga could do the same for NZ

Scotland managed a decent score against Romania. The points difference scenario is very unlikely imo (Boks/Ireland/Scotland all ending on 15 points), it would need the Boks to get 5 points against Tonga (likely), Scotland to get 5 points against Ireland (unlikely), and Ireland to only get 1 bonus point not 2 (impossible to guess the probability given the chance of Scotland scoring 4 tries and winning is low, but it has to be only 1 bonus point, If Ireland score 4 tries and lose by 7 points or less then it never goes to points difference and if the Boks get a 4 try win against Tonga they're through).

I don't think it's going to points difference, and if the Boks get a 4 try win against Tonga it's enough (maybe Scotland beat Ireland, but the 4 try win against Ireland is much less likely than that). But if it does go to points difference the Boks need to be ahead of Scotland. Scotland is on +97, the Boks are on +86. The biggest Scotland total possible would be something like a 30 to 40 point win over Ireland (unlikely in the extreme, but I'm just looking at their biggest possible total), putting Scotland on +127 to +137. Ireland are on +122 (for points difference to come into it, Ireland would have to lose, so this would be lower). Which means the Boks need to go for a 50 point win to be sure.

We've seen this before in Super Rugby, when the pressure comes on in these situations our teams usually get the points difference whatever it is. I'm expecting a heavy Bok win now.

Ok there's bok jerseys around, we went for sundowners and it was packed. But that's more the weather I think.
The vibe for this match is almost muted. Not nearly the same as against the Irish.

I feel a bit nervous about this one. Please no cards, especially red ones. That finger stomp by Ox against Ireland had me as worried as a pig on its way to the slaughterhouse.

If either player bends a leg by just 1 or 2 degrees: penalty only.
