Strong All Blacks team, with a back 3 who fields the kicks well…. and of course a very good and abrasive loosie combo.
We had a massive SAIX Internet wipeout here in my region… wonder how wide it went…
They seem to be up and running now again…

I have the kind of feeling about the Springbok back three – Gio Aplon at fullback with JP Pietersen and Bryan Habana as the fliers – that I do about this team more collectively: it has the potential for great carnage and elusiveness on the front foot, but could yet prove notably disaster-prone if South Africa are instead challenged by a consistently fearsome black tide.
Hope that this will be the last experiment by Dick Muir. Really if this Bok back line fails it must be bloody obvious where the problem lies.
On Supersport they said
The Boks were outplayed at the breakdown in the Australian test, but it needs to be remembered that Smith plays to the ball more than Kankowski does, so this back row does not lack balance to the extent that the one in Brisbane did.
So you better hope they fare better Mr Muir or else …..
OOooo flok die Nasie wil nie meer praat nie , kom ek sit n Bash the ref post op en kyk wie kruip uit die gate.
GBS jy het die manne gemuilband deur ref artikels te ban 😆
Watse truuks reken julle gaan die All Blacks die naweek try? Bel Mr Dwyer vir idees.
“Playing the Springboks in Soweto in front of 90,000-plus fans – it doesn’t get much bigger than this. It’s going to be a marvellous occasion, a massive challenge and one which the team is really looking forward to.”
Will there be vuvuzelas?
@ superBul: Bring it on…let’s play for pride….we can do it.
