It could be interesting if that backline clicks.

At least we're resting Willie.
Certainly not a C-Team :clap:

Plus the tickets are around £140 each !!

So will be watching from home instead
Category 2 tickets are £95 and still available
I couldn’t find anything under £140 on ticket master?!!

Anyway, it gets worse, I’m now going to be at the in laws in Devon.

This is very irritating specially Willie. Look like someone plug him from the ref for Kolisi to speak with the ref.

Kolisi, Vermeulen, Eben and Kitshoff do this well.

Listen here darling. If you are the quality that Willie is you have earned the right to twist the refs ear. You vokken hate him because he is incumbent at 15. Tosser. He was a champion for the Sharks and will be a champion for the Bulls.......

The only member of that starting pack who'll still be playing in 2027 is Kitshoff.

They have had a good run. BTW.....remember Heineke Meyer also insisted on taking old and experienced heads to a RWC and Japan ran rings around them

That is a great team. Exciting backline and the bench is brutal with two locks and Marco. I wouldnt mind seeing those guys against Scotland.

I imagine the RFU are anticipating seven lean years, & they haven't even had the seven fat years before hand to live off.

Hey; the RFU know they're in the middle of a huge city, & they're putting on a big game, & the corporate sponsors will hoover up tickets, because they'll have no problem passing them on.

Tickets in the NH are expensive, because the market will tolerate the price, & still get full houses for games.

Worth rewatching the first 7 minutes.

So so many missed tackles from all the Springboks and what a tempo. Boks certainly put themselves around the park , and then Faf kicks everything instead of testing our backline against the ABs.

But certainly very entertaining

Also picked up that we gave possession away every kickoff. Ball didn't hang long enough and was too deep. We were defending 90 something percent of the time. It was crazy to just hand the ball to the ABs
