This game is not going down to the wire. I fully expect the Boks to explode the imploding ABs.
Boks by 14.
Yep.
@ shooter:
Weren’t you also saying that at exactly this same time last year 😉 ?
@ NZINCHINA:
Last year this time we had just beaten the Wallabies 28-8 at Newlands, this time we beat them 28-10.
It has instilled the same sort of confidence in Bok supporters though…..
@ nortierd:
Confidence is good and rightly so, it’ll be close and the Bokke might sneak it on passion in front of a fanatical home crowd, losing to a Bokke side with the twin gents of Meyer/JDV at the helm and 5 on the trot won’t be the end of the world for us. 😀
“Hodor”
“Hodor’.
So, who will play today – Duane or Scalla?
I hope Duane has recovered because he will form a major part of a Bok victory today.
Anyone any news on his rib injury?
@ dwarslat:
Haven’t seen any news yet.
I see that Gavin Rich in his predictions has hinged his bets, Boks by 7 if Duane plays, AB’s by 7 if he doesn’t
OK, off to the game, see you from Ellis Park!
testing testing testing.
Hodor hodor hodor.
Well well well,
here we go again.
Another show down at Ellis Park.
Get those wagons in a circle Veldites.
Fernly all alone at the Dam,
make yours a small circle.
Cause this ain’t gunna be pretty.
Unless you are a kiwi of course.
Then it’s gunna be just great.
A full and comprehensive Anal ysis to follow.
Hellloooooooo,
Are all of you ready for the big one?
The back three……advantage NZ ……………………………..NZ 4 points.

How many altitude based Springboks are in the team?
Did you check 😉
@ Hondo:
13
Meant ‘how many Springbok forwards’
😉
And here it is:…………………………………
The Geriatric Factor…………………………………………….advantage NZ…………………..1.5 points.
Get plenty of those Castle Lagers in Okes.
You are gunna need them.
( no smilie……………………….this is serious shiit).
Okay, okay…………………………………………………..here it is.
😉
@ Hondo:
No, but even if they are Coastal Weepee and Sharkie trash, they will have had plenty of experience of playing at Altitude.
I maintain my prediction ……………………………………….it will be NZ by 0.5 points.
😉

Farkit Mr Double Hodor… if talking kak was a spot, we would be calling you “Spottie”!
@ cane:
The only difference is the kicking from hand, but Pollard is hardly a threat for the ABs in finding a touch outside his 22m
The ABs shown in 2010 & 2013 test at JHB that a superior conditioning and stamina, only detrimental issue is the Jet Lag traveling in one week from NZ to S America to S Africa, that could be brutal
the odds now are 1 to 1.2 on the ABs, pretty marginal
@ Hondo:
You forget, Barrett isn’t exactly the best tactical kicker either.
So it will be up to Aaron Smith to win the battle of the kicks for NZ
@ nortierd:
20
That’s a valid point, but Dagg and Ben Smith are no slouches in this aspect of the game, Slade can kick too,
21 @ Hondo:
Yes, they are also decent kickers, but will only be called into play if we kick aimlessly again and straight down their throats
Kwas 40/13 EP
4 tries between minute 52 and 64
Kwas 45/18 Kings
Good conditions for rugby, mild weather, dry pitch
Full Time: Kwas 45 – 25 Kings
OK, shuffle up!
Duane playing
All Blacks out on the pitch now!
Lekker gisteraand gelag oor die ou provinsialisme en vooroordeel van ons rugby volkie, in die woorde van ‘n kommentator.
Gisteraand se game hardloop JDP ‘n paar arms oop vanaf die kwartlyn om ‘n goeie drie te druk met ‘n paar Pumas op sy rug.
Die kommentator, nogal van die Durbs span, sê niks om JDP geluk te wens nie, sy opmerking is bloot dat dit swak verdediging was.
Laasweek, met Lambie se drie, is daar ook heelwat Aussies wat swak verdedig het, maar daaroor word nie ‘n woord gerep daaroor nie.
Ekself dink dat beide driee ‘n kombinasie was van die spelers self wat goed gedoen het, en die verdediging wat nie te goed was nie.
Hopelik bewys dit maar hoe ons almal eenogig kan wees en moet leer om krediet te gee waar dit gegee moet word, ongeag of dit nou my gunsteling speler is of nie.
Go Bokke !
Vandag is dit nie hierdie of daardie speler nie, maar AL WAT JY SIEN IS DIE GROEN MASJIEN !
