Springboks vs All Blacks I

[pakman]

@OomPB Nortje played LH for Boks this year.. useful if he can pack both sides.

[OomPB]

@pakman you mean lock behind the LH? He is more an aerial type like Matfield. PSdT & BJD will be a great combination in scrum and around the block. High work rate.

Dream come true for Dixon to face the All Blacks

Springbok flanker Ben-Jason Dixon described the opportunity to face the All Blacks on Saturday as "a dream come true" and he said he was relishing every moment of being part of the national set-up.

Etzebeth cleared for NZ Test as Boks release four players

Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth has been cleared to face New Zealand at Emirates Airline Park on Saturday after completing all the training sessions this week and has been drafted onto the replacements bench for the Castle Lager Rugby Championship encounter, while Rassie Erasmus has released four...

Looks like he is on the bench.

If Havili on bench, who goes to 13 if Rieko injured?

Loose forward like the Boks - so Ardie.

But wouldn't we have ALB on the bench?

[pakman]

@Darren Seems some suggestion that Havili might get the gig. ALB covers all one-injury eventualities. Havili covers 12 and 15, but 13 seems exposed.

[sparky]

Who is going to lose their shit the most about Havili being on the bench?

[KiwiMurph]

Havili and one of ALB/Proctor could both be on the bench if Beauden is at 15 (assuming Rieko is at 13)

We are due a good game of rugby with the South Africans.
2023 Twickenham was dire and so was the WC final.
Two of the most mistake ridden , disjointed games of rugby I've seen involving the ABs.

[Smuts]

@BerniesCorner no you aren’t.

And the refereeing/tmo involvement was a thundering disgrace.

I will never have that match mentioned without saying it.

Im still fucking seething over it.

The better question is which part didn’t they get involved with?

Yup. They bottled it. Give Frizzlemynizzle the straight red he deserved and we’re probably not having this convo.
