Springboks vs All Blacks I

[sparky]

How often has PSDT played lock before?

Who is Ben-Jason Dixon?

[Bovidae]

So much for the story about Steenekamp starting with Nche going back to the bench. Lomax will be against a short LH.

[sparky]

The ABs have to seize the initiative early and put the rookie 10 under serious pressure, then once Pollard comes on kick intelligently, win the territory battle and avoid giving away penalties.

Get it right and the ABs will rock the Boks' world and give them a famous beating.

Sit back, be passive, even switch off and we've seen this movie before.

[Bones]

Pffft, playing a flanker in the second row, two opensides and a couple of no names in the backs? He's taking the piss. Absolutely outrageous disrespect.

Springboks by 25.

@sparky I know BJD very well. He root from Paul Roos x Head boy. He played lock and 7 flank all his career and very similar to PSdT. High work rate and and a tough customer.

[pakman]

@OomPB expect BJD to get stint at lock at some point.

Have watched B-JD play for the Stormers both at lock and blindside. He’s a decent player but is still learning as a test player.

I think they are vulnerable at halfback.

[DaGrubster]

@Daffy-Jaffy

He sounds very laboured with his breathing.

[OomPB]

Two years ago BJD still lived in Paul Roos boarding school, coached two school teams on the same day he played in the URC final against Munster. Finished his studies first at US as industrial engineer before playing full time rugby.

[pakman]

Seems as though Eben trying to convince coaches he’s fit enough to play.

[OomPB]

He and PSdT in tandem is a great Rassie call. They will keep the All Blacks busy. Personally I think the All Blacks will take the first test. We are going to miss RG Snyman and Eben. Also worried about Fassi and SMZ. Its going to big pressure on them.

Sounds like future Cap.

[OomPB]

@pakman Yes he is a great leader but Moerat look like the chosen one at the Stormers and Springboks. They are more or less the same age.

[sparky]

I've seen rumours on line that Eben Etzebeth is actually fit and will come into the side as South Africa shift to a 7-1 bench later in the week.

[pakman]

Would still be 6-2. Knee might be vulnerable if scrumming gets serious.

[game_film]

Looking forward to seeing the Boks 11-2 bench split this week

[Jet]

I think we are going to beat them.

Allblacks by 10+.

And a yellow card each and one upgraded to a red.

@Daffy-Jaffy

I watched that interview this morning
What is wrong with Rassie? He looks like he is sick and totally high on some meds.

I wasnt sure if he was speaking English at times. He was all over the place.

Looks a bit puffy in the face doesnt he.
