    I have no idea about the score for this game. Heart says bokke by 3. Head says ABs by 7

    I'm a reversal if that, I think we blew our shot last week.

    Mmmm I feel a bit pessimistic too, just felt last week the boks made a lot of unforced errors that they may not do again , but maybe I’m giving them too much credit,

    Will be more than happy to be proven wrong

    Yeah thought we might be able to steal one game.... think that was the one last week. Neatly lifted it, put it in our undies without even being seen then knocked ourselves out running into a glass door on the way out.

    I don't get a "must win" vibe from this game like SA 2 last year.

    Whether it's because our expectations are so low after last week's debacle, people are grudgingly accepting things will et worse before they get better or there's something not quite right in the AB camp's mindset.

    Probably all three.

    @Victor-Meldrew The injuries and the feeling the team is a bit makeshift are also a factor I believe

    How is it makeshift? If absolutely everyone was available there would be very few changes. Like it or not this is the top side.

    Broadly agree bar -

    Fears : Jordan under Pollard's bombs - lineout because of the smallest ever FL trio of the professional era - lack of speed on the wings.
    Hopes : quick ball for DMac as Ratima's passing is sharper than TJP's - Scrum should work even better thanks to its cohesion (same starting front five) - Pollard less dangerous than Feinberg with ball in hand.

    If we can get Ratima , Reece and Telea making 5/6 yards in and around the ruck keeping their forwards occupied it will go along away to creating space out wide.

    Hopefully Jordan has a crack wifh one or two counter attacks early doors to remind them kicking deep comes with consequences.

    Similarly , any penalty within 60 meters and Jordie should be having a shot. Can’t believe we didn’t do it last week. Just to lay down a marker.

    @MN5 I’d throw Klipdrift Brandy on that list also.

    NZ and Ireland are corporate middle management rhetoric up the wazoo.

    The Irish copied us, as they thought we were best in class. It’s just insufferable. Inane. Robots.

    “In that space”

    “Learnings”

    “Best foot forward”

    “Looking forward to the challenge”

    “Look within ourselves”

    “Walk towards the challenge”

    “Find your why”

    No insight, no passion, no rallying cries, no snide remarks, no barbs, no insinuation, no threats. Nothing.

    The same speech regardless of opponent.

    @Jet It’s pretty funny watching SB try remember his media training in realtime though.

    And it’s not totally his fault. The quality of questions is shocking.

    Just once I’d like to see something like:

    You think you’ve got the wood on the boks at scrums?

    So that’s an area you feel you can get dominance?

    So fans should expect the scrum to stay straight on the bok feed?

    As opposed to wheeling like it did on several scrums the boks fed last week.

    Was there any reason that only happened in the AB 22?

    Same coincidence that the scrum didn’t wheel on AB put ins?

    Same sort of coincidence that the scrum only collapsed on AB feeds?

    And never in the AB 22?

    Going back to how you plan to attain scrum dominance, should we expect the ABs to keep the ball in the scrum longer this week instead of the quick strike we saw last week?

    Thanks Scotty, you’ve been a lovely, lovely witness.
