If Nepo wins scrum penlty at end of game I expect @Bones to buy me a beer.
I will buy you the world babe.
I hope this happens on full time. Boks out on their feet, forces of evil deep in their own end, tap penalty, champagne rugby foiled by a magnificent cover tackle only for Cane to pull a Kronfeldesque rip and roll to score in the corner. The wind is swirling and the rain coming in 45 degree sheets. All eyes in the stadium turn to Beaudy who’s grimly determined to take the conversion. With no faffing he slots a dagger.
ABs lose by 1.

@Machpants too stupid - if you click on the picture can’t you see my profile with a bigger picture of ALB perving on my serious dutchman friend?
Slowly getting processing power back after France.

Hierdie plek is vol Kante
Ja, maar hulle is ons Kante (soms die Iere.)
- this place is full kants.
** yes, but they’re out kants (even the Irish.)
@PN it sure if things have changed, but the general rule was that the fern welcomes us but it’s only polite that we speak their taal. I stretch it when I think I can only express myself in Afrikaans by providing a translation.

Fair play, this is fucking funny. But as me mate Nobber never tired of saying: a man with standards is a lonely man. Then again he was from Waikato.
Colour me astonished there could be a man from Waikato called Nobbers who doesn't have (high/understandable/slightly sober) standards.

I picked 45-6 for the Argentina match and was out by 1 point....would it be a bit too bold to pick the same score again?
<thinks> I don't believe Argentina will get as many points in the final...

I mostly lurk. Sometimes post. Wanted to get this down before Saturday's collision:
As an SA supporter, there is no other team I'd rather play and beat in a World Cup Final than the All Blacks. Short of that, there is not other team I'd rather lose to. I've followed ABs ups and downs under Foster, but always always thought that the reports of their death as a force to be reckoned with was way overdone. I am not at all surprised to see them in the final. Just as I am not surprised to see the Boks there.
There seems to be a genuine dislike in some quarters of the SA rugby game, coaches, players. All I can say to that is that when you look at the actual players on the field this weekend, there seems to be only respect and in some cases genuine camaraderie and friendships. So I let the guys at the sharp end guide me on that front. These are two fantastic teams with very different styles that should give us a great game.
Boks are gearing up for an attritional game in wet weather and relying on a second pack to come in and do the business. Simple fact is that the replacement tight five is of starting quality. ABs can't match that. However, they can negate the impact of the Bok plan due to exceptional game runners at 9 &10 and a rugby intelligence across the backline that is able to bring the rapier compared to the Bok sledgehammer.
I think there is nothing in it. Good luck boys.
Very respectful post, not sure that's going to fit in well.
I do genuinely hate all the time wasting, water runners, medic breaks, flashing lights, 35 minute front rowers etc, but if you can get away with it & win with it, then so what?
Yup it pisses me off, add rassie disgusting video rant and HIA rests, it's all gamesmanship rather than game. Boks don't need that to win imo, but they do it anyway. Tarnishes their achievements.
So my respect has gone right down, for management and brand, not the players. Probably a bunch of good kants. But the way the team plays the non-playing parts of the game is a blight on rugby

Just had a look at the updated forecast, looks pretty clear through the day with rain moving in just before the game .
