Legally of course.
Remember Scott Barrett’s big hit on Tate McDermott in Sydney? A repeat of that on Faf would be most welcome.

George Smith on Justin Marshall springs to mind

Might not be wise to try. He might get a yellow for poor execution considering his recent history

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?
Or one of their midfielders, they'll be a fucking small backline

Fuck didn't realise it was on before church on Sunday.

SA looking to pummel and apply scoreboard pressure early
-
There are some outstanding forwards in that SA 23. We’re right to be worried, especially if they can slow the game down and use the conditions and the currently inadequacies of how World Rugby regulate the sport to their advantage.
The All Blacks are going to have to perform at their very best if they are to stop the Boks.

Likely back-up for Faf will be Kolbe - not Willie.
In which case either Willie covers the wing, or they do a big shuffle with Willie to 15, Willemse to 12, de Allende to 13 and Kriel on to the wing. Probably the former, simpler version though but then again, this is the Rasnaber combo - they don't do conventional..... -
Boks are betting on rain.....

Yeah - slow the game down. Don't play wide. Kick and smother.
I wonder if that team changes with the weather on the day?
-
Hopefully a couple of back injuries and we see how super sub the Ox goes against Jordan on the wing.

Heavy rain in Paris today and looking very likely on Saturday night too.
Fine, there are plenty of examples from history of the ABs playing our style with distinction in the wet.
