RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)

[Billy Tell]

Anyone saying Hansen will suddenly drop the dual playmaker thing is crazy.

Questions are who starts at 2, which midfield and whether Ioane or Smith get back in on the wing.

99th time the All Blacks will have play the Old Foe.

That's pretty cool.

So possible for the 100th on the biggest stage.

3 v 4?

1st time these teams have met in a RWC group match.

Really? I could have sworn we’ve had them in our pool once before...

[Rugga13]

Bea'unga will start for sure. Questions for me, will Tuipolotus form keep Barrett out of starting lineup. Who's starting at 12 (Goodhue will be 13). Will Ben Smith make the bench, and will Reece start.

That, my friend, would be a storyline from Boys-own.
Which, if the case, and given that they will be the underdogs, of course means the Boks win the RWC

No you don't - you're not claiming underdog status yet. The last one was in NZ and a draw - so you are favourites at the moment.

Nah Buff Boks are def favourites

A Sunday Times rugby panel at a London World Cup gathering saw three of the four pundits opting for the Boks to win their third World Cup.

@Machpants

Barnes' said after "losing their way" under previous coach Pieter de Villiers, the Boks have found their mojo with Rassie Erasmus

Barnes is obviously an idiot.
