I’ll scream if we have no tactics (stupid midfield bombs is an anti-tactic).
That is all.
-
A prop named Ox is pretty impressive.

I just want to see a plan, even if it's wrong, just see some sort of structure, and some backline moves. Basically any kind of progress.

Indeed, although his name is Retshegofaditswe Nché. So Ox is more for ease rather than what he does at scrum time 😉

I'm torn. As an ABs I want us to win. For the good of AB rugby, we have to lose.

@pakman our season ended, so the squad is until end of year. Vermeulen, Frans and Reinach was injured, now brought back for Marcel Coetzee, Fassi & Kolbey .
So no Currie Cup?
Final 25 June, which seems very early in relation to the old days.

I am in no way torn at all, I want us to smash 7 shades of shit out of SA.

Agree. But I acknowledge we won’t.
We won’t even get close.

Fuck yeah, the Boks are the team I want to beat most of all. Nothing feels better than giving them a good hammering. Weirdly though, they're are the team I get the least pissed-off losing against.
Hard bastards on the field but seem bloody good blokes off it with minimal whinging, moaning or gloating.

Arguably the gold standard in player whinging. If there's a better example I can't think of one.

Heart says All Blacks. Head says Boers 2 nil.
We can't defend lineout drives. The Boers live to lineout drive. We just don't have the stock up front at the moment, no matter how well they play.
So for me, prepping for 2 losses, hoping for 2 Wins, not expecting them though.
Only positive from these losses is I've learned to bet at the TAB with me head, and not my heart - bet against the ABS in all 3 tests!

@BartMan was going to upvote until read the last para.

Yes I could never bring myself to support against the jersey no matter who is playing or coaching

G'day @BartMan,
This time last year we thought all they had to offer was a kicking game and we thought we'd smash seven shades of shit out of them.
As it turned out, they had quite a bit more to use and we shared two close games (1-1), with our current coaching group.
Home advantage will help them a bit, but I'm with Pakman. I reckon we've got a good chance of winning at least one.
