[Poll] Who would you prefer to win?

England. Hopefully playing a bit of rugby.

If England wins it will be well-deserved and they would have beaten the big 3 SH teams in consecutive games.
All four Rugby Championship teams in consecutive games.

Bokke.
Think Rassie's done a great job and the Boks in many ways represent what's good about the sport.
If England win, it'll add credence to the Eddie Jones "disrespect the opposition as much as possible" school of management.

Whilst I agree with your first point of view, I struggle to see the second.

@Duluth said in [Poll] Who would you prefer to win?:
I don't mind the English team. The cliches about them and their supporters are wrong.
However I've always preferred the winner to come from the tri nations countries
I agree with the first part.
When the Springboks play I always support the other team, even the Wallabies. It’s ingrained into my psyche that they are dirty, cheating behemoths that don’t know how to really play the game that’s played in heaven.
They are Collingwood, Arsenal, Perth Wildcats, Dallas Cowboys, Phil Mikkelson all rolled into one....
I'm the complete opposite, it's England who are that team to me. Conversely the Boks are our old enemy and the team we built our rugby on (obviously all of the above applies when we're actually playing them).
I'm like Mehrts, I hate losing to the English, despite never personally losing to them.
But, I never support the Wallabies, when they play England all I can hope for is a draw.

@Hooroo said in [Poll] Who would you prefer to win?:
Well suddenly I am "Supporting" England as I really want @JK to get the collect and also a South African at work has bet me a bottle of red and a full Biltong 'steak' that SA wins.
I couldn't turn that down.
Nice bet to win Hooroo!
What do you give up if the Boks win? -
@Nepia said in [Poll] Who would you prefer to win?:
The Boks ... it's not even close.
England ... it's not even close.

Is that unusual for a Welshman Mike?

I'm the same. Boks are traditional foe, the only country who cares as much as we do about rugby.

I agree I struggle to support either team, but for @JK I want England to win, as that was/ is a sensational bet

What do you give up if the Boks win?The exact same. I am actually hoping I lose the bet. There is a great South African shop in Tauranga that does amazing droerwors (sp) and biltong that isn’t too dry. I go once a week.

Glad to see Saffer haute cuisine is spreading into your part of the world
On a related note - I went to visit my sister in NZ (she has been a kiwi for a long time now) late last year and asked if she wanted me to bring any biltong etc. She informed me there are so many South African shops around, she is missing nothing. In fact, on my visit, she supplied the biltong!
