[Enzedder]

Are the summer internationals on Prime this year? (in the uk)

Sky sport for the sa Ireland series

Thanks, I've been looking to see if samoa v italy is being shown anywhere, it's apparently on Sky in italy, but that's no help to me, no mention of it being shown on sky over here

I see that it is on the schedule here

So pumped to see Sacha fast tracked into the Springboks. It was a no brainer . Holding thumbs for his debut against the Irish

[Biffer]

The small number of saffers on socials getting into a froth about not playing in Green on Saturday is very funny.

Ah yes, the saffers on social that represent all of us. 100% accurate. We are raging. Front page news in the republic.

That is why I said debut against the Irish

I did say small number, they're being laughed at by most of you guys as well.

I don't care if we're wearing pink ballerina dresses, so long as we win.

Most won't object to the white jersey, but the design of the one from last year's world cup was awful. We looked like a tube of toothpaste.

Well, exactly. I wasn't taking the piss just laughing at eejits.

I'm also pissed off that this is the last time we'll really ever see multi test series in the middle of the year due to this nonsense of the rugby nations championship pish. Fair to say we've all been waiting a while for Ireland to have a series in SA, and what's been lined up for us in the future is mince compared to the anticipation of this series.

[ASMO]

Ireland not going to get within 15 points of the Boks, definitely a team in decline.

It is very disappointing.

I'd like to see the November Tests changed to make up for this: 1-off Test at the beginning of the month against another Team e.g. England vs Australia; then the next 3 weeks England play a Test against the same Team e.g. NZ. x 3
Fans would love that!

Problem is the November tests are part of this bloody awful nations championship as well. I used to enjoy it when a touring side would occasionally try to play all four home nations in consecutive weeks

I don't know who most of these guys are. Will be lucky to keep it under 100.

Certainly needs freshening up. Will be interesting to see what happens post-Catt.

Looks weak, bunch of no-body's.


Ireland by 5

[assfly]

I get worried when the Boks are favourites.

I think this Ireland team has too much talent and is too well-coached to just roll over. I think they'll have something up their sleeve.

[Sards]

Rassie making all the noise and drawing as much attention to this as possible. He better have his act together and his planning done properly or he's going to look the fool.

Doing a steak braai for this match....want to keep my food down

[assfly]

There is a lot of hype and marketing around this series, which I quite like as it gives us something to chew on over the week.

But in reality I think both coaches and teams have a lot of respect for each other and enjoy the jabs.

Let's hope it's a thrilling game and the best team wins.

[Sandstorm]

Who is the ref we're all going to complain about this week?

I think there's very little chance of us getting steam rollered in either test. I also think the most likely outcome is a 2-0 series to the Boks though. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there was less than 7 points difference between the two tests.

Excellent referee should be no complaints..............................................but there will be as it's S Africa v Ireland.

Oh, we're getting ready to slag him off during the coin toss!!

You are not helping me.

Saffers by 11.

Yeah, I expect us to get well beaten in one test and lose closely in the other.

Expecting a loss too, the 'aura' around the team seems to have dimmed of late. Missing JGP will hurt too.
Hoping to be positively surprised tomorrow, but not very confident.

[OomStruisbaai]

It's been a while since the Springboks played at home.

[Blake]

It's been a while since the Springboks played at home.

It’s crazy hey.

Last year we only played 2 tests at home, vs Australia at Loftus on 8 July and vs the Pumas at Ellis Park on 29 July. That’s it. That was the last home game the Boks played.

[Enzedder]

Yeah but this year you get the Irish in a series and then 2 games with the All Blacks.

Feast up, you lucky buggers.

[Enzedder]

[Sards]

I don't know how I am going to get any chores done today.

[bok_viking]

Looking forward to the game, will be heading to the stadium in a couple of hours. But also nervous, do not think this will be easy. Will not be surprised if it is another single score game. Hope the Japan boks got the rust out of their joints since the Wales game.

Another song that you definitely will hear on tv today, the DJ plays it at all the Bulls games, and the crowd love to sing along with it.

[Sards]

Go Bokke

[OomStruisbaai]

Loftus is lieflik!

[Sandstorm]

Minty Boks

That was too easy

Game over.
