Pick the score AB vs Boer v2.0

ABs 23-17
Throwing it wide willy-nilly and avoiding set-piece/ the breakdown works a treat and big Bok forwards a run off their feet. Marx gets whistled off the park for not supporting his own body weight, ARs rule Boks rush defense is offside, Boks penalized for crashing into the ABs kick receiver, Boks forwards penalized for illegal cleanouts and general "roughness" (referee explains it is not in the spirit of the game).
Foster claims this is the new non-confrontational era for rugby and the Bok side is out of touch and their approach doesn't belong in 2022. -
Alarm set for 12.50am, Milo on the bench ready to go.
ABs to win this with pure heart. They'll play tighter, Richie and DH will kick a lot, as will JB. The set piece will be a bit shaky, but will be good enough.
Forwards to play tight and run hard and straight. Cane to put someone on their arse early.
Don't expect flashy backline moves from either team, but we will limit mistakes and chase kicks better than we have in recent times.
Good guys to win 16-13

What time are you going to bed? There's probably no point me asking as you're likely already sleeping.
I generally don't go to sleep until 1am/1:30am-ish so I just stay up and then try not to nod off before the game finishes.

20-0 Foster
If it were a cheeseburger eating contest.
The game: Boks by 15 plus.
-
32-12 Boks.
-
Maybe its just Gin and pessimism, but I'm going to go for worst case.
All Blacks 17-12 on the back of a massive defensive effort against a 14-man Boks. One try in it with an interception by Havili finished off by Gear. Foster keeps his job.
Fast forward 14 months to a RWC quarter final re-match where the AB's are knocked out and SA admit throwing this game to ensure Foster remained in charge.

did someone say something?
Foster is fat.

19-16 ABs
Not sure I believe myself but am not gonna pick the against
I can count on the fingers of one hand AB matches that I expected us to lose.
This was the fourth time I have ever expected us to lose.
I've been wrong 3 of those times. (Last week was the only time I was right.)
Still couldn't pick a losing score.

Someone needs to go back through the list and pick up any fo the nostrildamus who picked an AB win. Not many.
I did, but tentatively ... so much depended on the reffing and tight 5 effort.

@booboo I'd say I have expected us to lose 3 times, last night, last week and the 3rd Irish test.
I hate that.

@taniwharugby having said what I said I can't remember one of the expected losses ...
1990 v France 1st Test
2022 v SA 1
2022 v SA 2
And one other ... -
