RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks
-
@No-Quarter And that's the issue for me, even if SA do get back foot ball I'd rate their kicking game to get them "out of trouble" and as you say - we don't appear to have that luxury.
-
@Kiwiwomble just maybe we get a Nepo and Ofa chucked in the mix, and Havilli on standby if Ritchie can't play (but most likely will) with Beauden 10, McKenzie 15 ,but can't C it happening, myself just rumours oh and my pick is Coles to return to bench also EXPERIENCE

Meg, looking like he has been on a massive bender in Paris the last few days, chewing the pre-final fat with Tindall, Haskell and some toff.
Crikey - Justin looks rough, but hair of the dog...
I know Haskell is very marmite, but I like him and his banter on the whole.
Mike Tindell looks like someone’s Granddad. He is good value too though.
Marshall looks like he’s drunk Paris dry…..
That other guy tries too hard to be one of the boys and fails miserably.
I find GBRA to be more interesting. Swoop, Biv and Goit have a wonderful chemistry and Prof is a fantastic host. Last week's episode with Swoop coming off a two day bender was epic. "oh Swoop, what have you done" as he says to himself while prof is tucking in to 20kg of brisket.
I don’t know who any of these people are sorry

It's a funny world. It's only a few weeks ago that there was genuine concern we'd lose to Italy.
Not from me there fucking wasn't.

But SA have lost the kicking and territorial battle the past 2 weeks - so we are hardly up against a team full of prime Grant Foxes and Daniel Carters.
The strength of our kicking game will depend upon (a) the strength of our chase, where we keep the ball in play, and (b) our maul defence, where we kick it out. If we don't pressure their kick receivers, like we did at Mt Smart, then that will allow them to chew off easy metres on the kick return. Similarly, if our maul defence is poor, that will allow them to chew off easy metres until the inevitable penalty, which will allow them to put the ball into our 22 and again chew off easy metres with their maul until the ref feels compelled to card one of our guys - it could be Twickers all over again.

Boks gone with a 7-1 split again. I hope it blows up in their face.

What are they going to do at Half Back if the Dartmoor Pony gets hurt in the second minute?
-
Willie perfect personality for Half Back
