Dankie meneer

IMO Nick Mallet quite correct!
I have been involved in rugby for 50, yes 50 years.
Fourie Du Preez is class! Good hands,rugby brain and quick ball.
We dont need pointing, shouting and loosing advantage.
The"final countdown" starts NZ/Aus?
Bokke!

SA -12.5 should be good

IMO one chief reason for this poor performance - Pienaar

just as I called it. You guys are so lucky to have me posting these predictions><

I agree T, he never has impressed me. To slow, bad service, bad tactical kicking and general bad decision making. Very overrated !

Need I say more. . . .

Score? I suppose I can do a google

22-17 to the Boks

Tks very much Craig. Couldnt be bothered googling (tu)

So that's why C'nC has a smile on his dial

good call Madji as that is exactly what happened the first ball he touched and they land up scoring with in 2 min of the game
Putting the bokke on the back foot we do that to the all blacks and they will eat us alive

I agree that Pienaar is a problem, but to blame everything on him, is not fair imo; also take into account the size of the field - it looks very small on TV, so no room for the Boks to spread the ball, which is their forte; that being said, the Pumas overshadowed us in the rucks and the mauls, so that should be a bigger concern than Pienaar, imo. Still would not bet against the Pumas when they take on the Aussies in Argentina (hope it will also be in Mendoza?)
