I would hate see a final with dodgy tactics used but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens. If we ended up on the wrong side of the ledger, I couldn’t fathom having to read a 10k page thread lasting for four years on the topic
Only 4 years?
Mils scored in that 03 semi

And Deans scored in 1905 too.

The BBC thinks Ardie Savea is closing in on greatness:

All this talk of Rassie. He's not even the coach apparently. It's some bloke named Jacques.
"Andy Farrell was also nominated for World Rugby Coach of the Year, and he is up against Ian Foster (New Zealand), Jacques Nienaber (South Africa) and Simon Raiwalui (Fiji) for the prize."

So if RM doesn't play, will they go with BB or DM at 10? I'd go DM at 10.

For the rainy conditions, I’d go with BB at 10. LF and MT on the wings and WJ at fullback.

Fozzy might be mad enough to do that.

@Frank Rassie always produce something exciting for us. They worked since 2018 for this final. Expect the unexpected.
I don't think you understand my meaning.
I don't mean something "exciting".
I mean Bok forwards being pulled off by the coaching staff, pretending it is for an HIA assessment when really it is to give them a rest and bring them back on later when they are "cleared".
Which I suspect is what happened against France.

@booboo living in South africa made us live with a lot of insecurities. I am just realistic.
Rubbish PB, you fullas are full of bravado.
Why are you sooking about this game.
You can't jinx it. Because there's no such thing.
Stand up for yourselves.

As he said - Rassie always produces something exciting for Bok fansWill be exciting if Wayne Barnes punishes them for it on the pitch. But I guess that won't happen if it is within the rules.
And to be fair, if our coach was coming up with smart moves, I'd probably be right behind him.

I'm not sure if it's "smart", but play shit for 4 years then switch on in qf of the RWC against the best and most consistent team in the world is a pretty bold tactic.

I’ve no problem with Razzie doing whatever he thinks best to help his side win. I just wish World Rugby were tougher on some of the slowing the game down stuff.
I'd absolutely hate it if we did it. The mad thing is that SA don't need to play that way. They have insanely fast and talented backs. Instead they've chosen the NFL route. Fark I hope we beat that shit.
