Wales have had success versus SA in recent times. But they will have to throw caution to the wind and play to win. A similar display to that in the QF and the boks should do it easy
They have indeed.
But all at home on the Boks end-of-season tour.
I'm not reading too much into those results. -

My biggest wish for this game is no cards for either side.
Such a big risk at this RWC.My money's on Wales. So I want a red card against the Boks nice and early.
Nothing personal. I have to pick one side because I want to win Superbru. And the Boks are far more likely to do something stupid.

Hahaha. Fair enough.
Although consider yourself temporarily suspended from my would-like-to-have-a-beer-with list.
Permanently if your Red Card wish comes true!

The bench for me is the biggest difference between the sides, the Boks reserve front row is every bit as good as those starting.
Without Navidi we lack physicality in the backrow too, Moriarty hasn't hit form much recently - he needs a huge performance.
Both centres are crocked too which doesn't help, I can see a Bok win by 10+Jeez World Cup semis bring out the ghosts of Farmers past ...

@Bovidae not sure this will turn out to be right. I have the horrible sensation that the difference between this bok team being genuine contenders and also-rans is Pollard’s inconsistent kicking boot. The boks game plan relies heavily on building scoreboard pressure through penalties. Pollard’s malfunctioning GPS is a deep flaw in that plan.
It was the major reason the boks came up short against the ABs - the only game so far where the score was close enough for it to matter.
And I fear this game will be decided by the substantial difference in reliability of the teams’ goal kicking.

How many did he miss? I can't remember...
Thought it was 2
It was . Too many!
A good team doesn’t miss many. A champion team will miss none.
But I would trust Pollards radar ahead of any other Bok. Not a ringing endorsement by any means but he’s the best we have. -

So some goal kicks are worth 5 points now? How did I miss that?
I'm kidding, it might have changed the game a bit if he'd got them but we'll never know. AB's might have lifted even more too.

Bedtime.
George North owes Wales a massive game tomorrow.
Time to resurrect the 2013 Lions form.
CYMRU AM BYTH - WALES FOREVER
