Springboks v All Blacks I

[stodders]

How should I feel about a crap All Blacks side?

But every hero needs a villain and the All Blacks, those monsters under the bed who’d snatch me away in the night...

@nzzp for me, it is our front row that is more concern, ST will hopefully provide a bit of spark, Bower seems to be growing into his role, AT, well, he is the best we got right now...

I think our locks have suffered due to the lack of work the front row has done for large parts the past 2 years or so, then the back row, less of an issue, but still a bit of imbalance the way we are using them.

Caleb Clarke vs Arendse should be interesting to watch. 30 kgs (at least) of weight difference between the two. I guess the ABs will try to provide a few munitions to Caleb Clarke to test Arendse's defense.

Shit, 140kg or so is downright fat for a winger

@MN5
Arendse is listed at 78 kgs.

15 point or more win for the Boks will see ABs drop to 5th on the rankings, below England. 😳

Boks can't get above France if they win, irrespective of the margin.

Youngest kid has asked to watch the game live for the first time. Alarm now set for 12:50am to allow time to make the Milo before kick-off.

Can't wait.

Next generation is getting into it. Something is on the line. Excitement. Time with dad/mum and stay up late. What's not to like ☺️

Nelspruit 6 hours before kick off

@OomPB

They are going to be crying piss in about 6 hours.

The best ever sportsman named Jordan is in town and he is going to be cutting lines like Keith Richards.

Their outhalf will be in the sheds after 5 minutes answering doctors questions such as "what is your mothers maiden name Handre?".

12 day stand down. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.

Allblacks by 25.

@cgrant the great thing about Arendse is that he come from the disadvantage areas and schools on Paarl. He had to go the long way to his Bok jersey via Boland 7s.

He have a massive task today

[OomPB]

@Steve agree. All Blacks by 50 my call

There goes my cunning plan to sneak down!

[stodders]

Looks like a great atmosphere!!

[Steve]

Samisoni doesn't relinquish the starting spot from today bar injury.

Cane needs a fucking huge game. Take some fucking names.

Akira too.

Last chance saloon for Havili at 12.

Similar for Jordie at 15. Jordan will flourish there and everybody knows it.

[Yeetyaah]

Mōrena fellow tragics

[Steve]

Mandela will wish he was back in Jail after this game.

Allblacks by 40

@voodoo Great stuff. Remember those mornings in 1976 vs SA and others. Almost as good as Christmas.
