Could easily be in for a nasty surprise!

This, I really can't see us winning this. Yes, we did well against Arg, but they were awful. As soon as Arg started to click, and our bench (even worse this time) came on we were in trouble.

I'm a bit more optimistic in that: (a) I have quite a lot of faith in Big Tamaiti. It's hard to shift such a massive man and I don't think anyone bettered him in Super rugby. I think he might be an upgrade; (b) We can hopefully bring on our lesser lights from the bench later, or not at all; and (c) the starting XV looks pretty strong.

Interesting to be reminded in that interview with him that he’s never faced an SA SUPER side even. That still feels very odd for a new AB cap!

@Nepia No - pretty happy not to have him at all, I think.

You realise I'm right here

actually we think you are wrong here! (even off the bench I think Jordan is a point of difference/impact weapon).

if you aren't going to use MacKenzie we'd be happy to turn his motor over.
While we're at it, we're prepared to take a punt on that older model you've got up on blocks, Whitelock.

I'm sure these South African nightclub pickup lines will prove handy one day, thanks!

You're not wrong. There's not many others that can fuck up 3 opportunities, gobsmackingly nail another one out of nowhere and be so sought after. I shall dub him Welia Jorsaga.

Strange

I had no idea my ire for him was so deserved.

Aren't Friz and Paea yours too? Good grief. How doe$ one team have $o much $ucce$$ with $o many pillow impact player$?

[Mattasaurus]

Enjoying hearing from Schalk.

[chimoaus]

I give the warm up to the Boks, fuck me they have some big men.

[bayimports]

@Mattasaurus I would swap him with most of our comms to be honest

[Crazy Horse]

Wonder if the ref will let the Boks slow things down as much as they have done the last few years?

[bayimports]

which old fluffybunny at the back in 15 jerseys will cost their teams more?

[Bones]

Actually, going through the head to head, gives me a bit more optimism. Mustn't do that

Was just thinking the same thing - how the Abs adjust to the NH style of refereeing is very important... not just for tonight.

You obviously stopped watching before the bench

[voodoo]

We got thumped in the anthems

[Jailbreak7]

Here we go, come on the good guys!

[Machpants]

We've already lost the national anthem, what a dreary singer

[gt12]

Clarke looks just like his old man with that new do.

[Jailbreak7]

Jeez where's McCaw when you need him

[KiwiMurph]

Speed up the anthem you putz

[Jailbreak7]

Love that from Cane! No mistake with that gesture!
