Yeah, but we will still lose, Foster would find a way.

Just savour the thought Saffas…

They sack Fozzie, Razor takes the job and transforms the team into an unstoppable force in time for next year’s cup.

Deep down, you know it could happen. Oh yes.

And knock Ireland out of World Cup Quarter Final

Will Jordan's stomach upset makes him unlikely to start.
But would they have picked him anyway? He was dropped for the second Bok clash last year after his horrors in the earlier game with the high ball.
Boks don't suit his game.

Would like Havilli and Jordie Barrett to swap positions if the latter is fit.
Hope RTS gets utilized, even in back 3 as he should handle the Bok high kicks.

Was going to sleep thru then peek at the replay thru trembling closed fingers.
But this is ABs-Boks at Ellis Park; the pinnacle rugby watch.

However, from comments I suspect I might be the only NZ Boredie getting up:

We are thankful for the Irish , Scottish , Welsch and Italians. They are now part of our nation rugby family.

I was quite surprised to see them name Thor at 8.

In the past he's taken a few games to get up to speed after injury or absence. So I hope he's under instructions to go mental and he'll get subbed as soon as he's done so Wiese can finish off.

Still sore ja. It will make our path to win the tournament easier.

We always struggle in Australia but with this group Bokke they like challenges.

Since he is an Ulster man, his team mates gave him all the info.

Maybe the reason for Marx to the bench, Thor will be our prime poacher in the first half. Then Kwagga and Marx can work in Tandem in the important 2nd half.

Yes this will be interesting to watch. Our bench looks brutal. I really hope HJ can come on and speed the game up when there are some tired legs on the field.

He was in good form for the Stormers. Our bench is specialists. More worried about Kriel.

Always. The only thing worse than losing to England, is losing to Australia.

Bongi has picked up a knock in training, Dweba to start at 2

He has not lived up to the expectations.
He had a nothing test against Wales.

All Blacks by 7.

At least he's getting a chance. Most of the players from that second Welsh test will struggle to get any gametime with the Boks.

I'm chuffed for him. Hope he gives us the best 40-50 minutes of his life, and he can start pushing Bongi for that 2 jersey.

Not sure.
Probably because when the Aussies beat us, it's rarely (if ever) because they out-muscled us, but usually because they outsmarted us.
Somehow that stings more. When they find gap it usually exploits a bad weakness that seemed so obvious in retrospect.

This All Black team couldn't beat the Boks by 50 if you put 4,000 volts through them.

What's the feeling on PSdT's form of late? Is he getting closer to 2019 vintage?

His workrate isn't there yet imo. But he's played very little rugby over the last couple of years. Maybe he's lost a yard of pace but he's still lethal on defence. I wouldn't be surprised if they moved him back to the second row eventually. Let maybe Elrigh Louw come in at blindside flanker.

dabooldawg wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 12:44 pm What's the feeling on PSdT's form of late? Is he getting closer to 2019 vintage?

Still off the pace and missing gametime. Doesn't seem to have the same 80 minute engine he used to have.
He'll get there though. As good as our depth is at loosie, I don't think his starting sport is under threat other than for standard rotation.

Blindside flank has been our strongest position since return to international rugby. Andre Venter, Juan Smith and PSDT have all been world class and Ruben Kruger wasn't bad either. Elrigh Louw and Tshituka if he qualifies are the future imo.

The All Blacks supporters suffers and blame Fossie with reason.

If you compare RasNaber we have a lot to be thankful. They have a nice system of checking to detail of our top 100 players. We have a big squad of 41 players at the moment. They use only the experienced players first and the next one only get in via injury or performance. Elton fucked it up and was pull, Trevor struggled Saturday and was pull. This keep the players on their tones.

Ita not like AC who just select form players and fucked it up.

The Japan based players need matches to get sharp. PSdT haven't done anything wrong, he is a class player that will hit his usual streps fast.

He is just too good not to get back to his old form.

Great video from Squidge. I agree on Wille, he needs to be on the field as our primary playmaker.
