@Rancid-Schnitzel get your excuses in early. I like it.
We don't need excuses, the reality is we're just here to make up numbers, you lot are unbackable favourites.
You have the mastercoach Rassie of the Erasmus's and we have some bloke who was eating pies near the team bus and accidentally hopped on.
You have the Bomb Squad and we have Finlay Christie.
The game is such a lock for you guys that you didn't even bother giving Suzie her first class ticket to France, she's just going to sit at home in Jo'burg and watch contented on the TV.
Why pay for a fictional character to attend a rugby match. Especially when your best minds are already hard at work preparing new excuses?

I’ve spent 20 years on this site hoping for people to beat the Kiwis, but I’d support a fucking Nazi XV over this bunch of Saffa fluffybunnies
I don't think I'm comfortable with the neutrals supporting us ...

Imagine how I feel. If you lose on Saturday I will feel fucking robbed
Edit: I reserve the right to hate the the kiwis 1 minute after the final whistle and hate the fact I wanted them to win

@Kiwiwomble I think it's justified chat, however, we are sure as shit going to test them too.
For me the most relevant talking point is can they cope with us to start.
If it's close and they bring on the bench, then yup, it's gonna be tough for us to counter (but I back our boys to do it).
i agree...i just think there is less to say about our team

No excuses just facts.

there isn't anything much more overrated in the world of rugby now than the "bomb squad"
Essentially a couple of props, one who is as wide as he is tall, that get to play 35 minutes. And a good lock. They are good at scrums and fuck all else. If Barnes is on to the saffers trying to play NFL, they'll be blowing their ring pieces out after 10 minutes, and then they have to tackle Sami T and young Williams. Good fucking luck. And in case no one noticed, we have a fairly decent lock on the bench as well.
Against us those forwards are going to have to do more than push in scrums and mill around the halfway mark watching kicks go both ways over their heads. Their starting props have been under pressure all tournament. Their veteran #8 is starting to look old in the legs. They've brought back headless Faf to start.
We'll be out of sight before the bench even comes on.

oh, and we are going to rape and pillage their lineout.

I'm more concerned about what to do about Rassie and that light. How on earth do we counter that piece of genius????
Actually, why does he need that effing light when he has half the population of Johannesburg running onto the pitch for most of the game?
-
@mariner4life plus they aint even the original bomb squad...

Give all the people sitting closest to Rassie similar lights and let them use those lights all the time to confuse the shit out of the players and the medics/waterboys.

Ah Christy Doran. A guy who writes so earnestly about rugby, but with so little insight in to anything. Did the ARU tell him to write that?
If i was chefreactions ".75 out of 10. I'll probably read it"

Really? Nah we won’t be out of sight after 20 minutes, unless you mean when their original starters come back on in the second half

fair point, forgot the rolling subs part
you shouldn't get an HIA for being a meathead

@mariner4life beat me to it. Frankly, I’ve no idea why we’re even playing this game.
So long as you reverse the boks’ recent ascendancy at scrums, mauls, rucks, tactical kicking and defence you’ll pound us into dust. Can’t see how having our World Cup winning flyhalf back in the side improves things for us either.
The boks are fucked. Tell @Rancid-Schnitzel he can stop inventing
