Their starting props have been under pressure all tournament.
Is that true? By who?

The 5 minute mark.

@Machpants too stupid - if you click on the picture can’t you see my profile with a bigger picture of ALB perving on my serious dutchman friend?

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.
Yeah - right on.
And if we finish this game with the forward pack I expect, we'll have something very close to our heaviest ever pack on the field - 25-30kgs heavier than our starting pack.
In terms of size:
Sami > Taylor
Tamaiti > Ethan
Nepo > Tyrel
Sam > Shannon
Dalton > SamIf Wayne is on the job and noted the Bok's propensity to bore in - he would have noted Koch, so I'm disappointed Vince has been replaced - we'll be in a good place.

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
Friday Night Drunk Dodge is far and away my favourite Dodge

@dodge better slow down - looks like you’ve drank yourself into the future. Or worse, you’ve slowed time so it’s still last Friday?
If the latter, you may want to skip tomorrow’s match. It’s not going to help how you feel about South Africans. Not sure how it’ll effect your feelings toward the Beown Shirts XV

I mean, no one has said it that I’ve seen, but the Boks are fucking roided up to the nuts, their coaches cheat with HIAs, their coaches attack referees, their players are mostly fluffybunnies, there isn’t a single neutral fan who wants them to win.
Got a new Pommie fulla at work who has said exactly that.
Frankly I'm offended we've lost the most hated team in rugby tag.

Fozzie has things set up nicely for his grand exit. He dropped the ball a little when astute observers of the game like myself openly expressed how they are not in the least bit nervous about the world cup. We knew the ABs were no good. We knew we weren't going to win it. We could just sit back and watch with our 'I told you so' faces on.
Fozzie's genius is that he recognised this and quietly went about fixing it. He ensured his team beat Ireland, ensured his team cruised past Argentina. He made sure he had a full squad to choose from and he selected a match day 23 that can compete with the best.
He will smuggly sit in the coaches box, safe in the knowledge he has done his best. And his best was good enough. Pundits like me now have hope, we now think we have a chance of winning. We now think 'Fozzie has got this'. Fozzie is set to swagger off like a fat person leaving McDonalds holding a bag full of spoils, safe in the knowledge he will be leaving behind a shattered NZ public, a public wondering how they managed to fall for his trick once again. Fozzie's favourite trick, the one where he builds up hope and smashes it down.
