28 @ nortierd:
Hahahahaha
Goeie ou Brakkenjanpan…. waar EKKE bly!
29 @ MacroBok:
Ek het Bokke gepick met 12
ek is bly die weer is goed, maar ons gaan hierdie drake moet styf vashou die eerste helfte.
R 50 vir die eerste Bok ( of Wallieser ) wat vir Mike Phillips n PK sal gee.
Nou daar dat geld op die spel is, dalk draf Frans op vir die 2de helfte?
@ nortierd:
12
Sure
“As Einstein said: “Everything (mass and speed) is relativistic”, we always compared the Boks’ strength against the benchmark
It’s a natural thing that all top Test teams’ form is cyclic?
The Boks are going to be tested today. Mark my words. Especially through the midfield. Serfontein, in particular, will have his work cut out.
36 @ IAAS:
Hellooooooo HAAS!
@ IAAS:
I wouldnt single him out, will likely be Jan and JPP’s combination that will be tested
Ek sien Malett reken Mike Phillips is n rammetjie uitnek … Bakkies, daar is jou prooi vir vandag.
Goo Bokke … Guthro – tyd om uit te haal en wys boetman.
@ Hondo:
What’s your pick for this game?
You said home field worth 12, plus Poite worth 14, so 26+ for the Boks?

Nee wat, Bakkies het laas net vir hom soentjies geblaas en vir hom vertel hoe mooi sy oe is
Gurthro already looks tired… and they have just warmed up!
Eishhhhhhhh
@ grootblousmile:
How are things today? This one will be close.
Flip maar Sangakara is n goeie kolwer
@ MacroBok:
The Welsh backline is massive. Jamie Roberts will make his presence felt. I rate him as the no.1 inside centre right now.
43 @ IAAS:
Always well with me!
I am just hoping the Bokke perform well, accross the board, in the scrums too.
Worried about Gurthro, Bissie & Doc Jannie!
OK, start shuffling up… not long before the players are out on the field.
@ nortierd:
40
That’s correct,
the other side of the equation is how good that Wales team is relative to the Boks while playing away from home?
Their backline is far better but they may not have enough good ball to play with?!
I would say the Boks by 15 plus
@ IAAS:
Well both centers ran out for the lions that humiliated the aussies
@ IAAS:
I see no reason why we should be concerned about Wales at home.
We should win comfortably, we are nr 2 in the world, had a good year last year and only lost to them once after Mallet had to change his side at the last minute
47 @ grootblousmile:
Refill!
This could be a long afternoon, but Boks should still take it – I hope

Everyone humiliated the Aussies last year, even the Argentines only lost by something like a point in Australia
Wales coming out onto the field
Bokke now also out on the pitch, led out by Gurthro for his 50th cap
@ nortierd:
Let’s wait and see. This is our first real test of the year – last week was just a warm-up.
@ nortierd:
haha the point is their the best centers out of the entire six nations
Anthems!
Wales anthem up first!
IAAS wrote:
Yes, but I’m still not convinced that we should fear a side who clearly can’t beat us, respect them yes, but we should run out knowing we are not in danger of losing to them
Stand up for the National Anthem of South Africa!
