Tongan Thor is starting? Does that happen often? He always seems to be off the bench against the ABs...

I’d like to see more adventure from the boks but don’t expect it. I do expect much more brutality.
Yeah, at their best the Boks don't play ten-man rugby. Stylistically they play 15 man rugby, just that 13 of the players play more like forwards
(relentlessly brutal and can be overwhelmingly physical). Add a couple of speedy wingers like Habana.That game at Jo-berg, I think back in 2013(?), was one of the best. Both teams totally committed to playing. A young BB got simply flattened for a try by Jean DeVilliers, then came back with a great try to seal the game, beating JDV's tackle. No matter who had lost that game, it was a clash of titans and rugby won.

According to SBW, Makazole Mapimpi was the first player to score a try in a world cup final..........
