Quite a worry just how many leading players we are missing. Should be an interesting contest. If our loosies in particular beat the boks to the collisions, we should be ok.
We're going to find out a lot about some players, particularly in the loose

@l_n_p Blues supporter? I like you even more now ๐
I donโt
Any Blues fan who joined before May this year is a triumph of optimism over reality. Genuine fans, and clearly outstanding people.

Jacobson and Paps are a big loss in the loose. Blackadder has a chance to rectify the errors made last week.
A makeshift 7 is a big challenge against the Boks. I'm nervy
I'm not sure we've got Ardie 7/8, Akira 6/8 and bladder 6/7. As long as they are clear in their roles as a trio, should compete well
That's 2 of each position! ๐

I think Blackadder will go much better at seven. Hopefully he adds accuracy to his work rate and doesnโt miss a 100 tackles this week.
Sotutu on the bench is going to add impact too.

It's stretching things a bit with Akira - but, we've almost got a 6 playing 7, a 7 playing 8 and an 8 playing 6.
Hopefully it confuses the Boks more than it does us!

@nzzp nerves are always good. Iโm confident.
HEat and refs favour us I hope. Fastish game and we should get there. Feels an underpowered AB unit though - missing SamW, SamC, Azza, and now Luke and Paps.
Edit: refs style- and based solely on the Roar article on them supporting quick ball and pinging cynical play!
