Let’s pick the cards - 1 red and 2 yellows

Boo...even if they are all for players in green...

you just don't care about concussion you Neanderthal...

The extra bone density of the Neanderthal helps with that....

Nope, same reason that helmets actually make it worse!

ABs will be desperate, have it all to play for etc etc etc.

Tight five is still pretty lousy, scrum could get pumped. Loose forward balance off, especially for the lineout. Clarke is better in the air, and carries very well. It won't be won or lost by a wing though. Jordie Barrett better kick all his goals.

SA by 3 or 4, 24 to 20.

1 x reckless head high tackle (RC)
1 x intentional knock down (YC)
1 x high ball collision that goes wrong (YC)

Old Samurai Jack

27-12 to ABs. Reality call for Boks rather than ABs.
2nd test complete turnaround and ABs smashed leading to more Foster bashing but he survives for the rest of the Championship with up and down performances as usual.
If ABs lose this one, the 2nd test will be very ominous......

South Africa 24-0 at half-time

Changes at half-time make it more competitive and we lose 27-14

Red card at the 68 minute mark for a clear head shot is blamed for the loss.

Aussie ref and TMO vs English ARs. What could go wrong?

For the second test, everyone except Fozzie goes down with food poisoning. Unable to identify the cause as Fozzie ate everything.

Lose 2nd test with players still recovering including a sensational run to the changing rooms early in the first half from Beauden. Fozzie gets a pass for the tour as "losing while sick counts as a win". There is some unhappiness on the TSF...

"Ian Foster's winning Boks formula after making four changes video"

Big cojones to mention (let alone predict) "Ian Foster" and "winning" in the same sentence. I hope it isn't a Charlie Sheen rush to the head moment.

So I'm changing my prediction to 20-15 to the Boks.
Second test the ABs will lock Foster in his hotel room and go on to squeak a win 24-23.

Foster in mentioned article (in which the headline bears little resemblance to the content, I'm shocked)

“Much is made of the last series, but we were in the process of putting blocks in place. Did we get everything right? No, but we’ve got a lot of faith in areas where we want to grow our game. There are tweaks in attack we’re working on**, but some are just focus points we didn’t get right in the last series.”

** Since 2016

In another article (on Clarke) Foster suggests he would have chosen Frizell in July but he was injured. I hope some heads on here don't explode.
