@darylmitchell in 05 Ian Foster was working out a plan to not lose the Rugby Championship when he was head coach.

Something Razor wasn’t doing

steady on. We haven't lost yet. SA may be $1.25 favourites, but aint' yet happened. Two wins in the republic are still possible...

Any AB supporter calling for >10 points victory is

Deluded
Doesn’t watch rugby
In a cult

Can they beat SA?
Yes

By >10?
Yes

But to ‘speak it out loud’

Come on

Am calling for it. Not predicting it.

As well you should, very inexperienced bok team.

But but you guys are unbeatable.

Did that plan involve refusing to move on from Hansen's 2019 front row and not shifting Jordie to second five until three and a half years in - when historic losses and injury forced his hand?

Not for this game. Do these guys look confident?

Frank

Very strong starting scrummaging front row for the Boks.
Who is a better scrummaging loosehead - Ofa or Williams?

ummmm......that was the AB fans on here mate.

We have been shit - by our standards. Of the last 119 years the last 7 or so have been awful.

Should have beaten the Lions in 2017, and that was where the wheels really fell off. Hansen intended to retire at that point and in hindsight it would have been a good call.

Would have wheeled in the Fozzie era one RWC cycle early

Foz was nothing if not stubborn and loyal to a fault. JB only got the start at 12 because of injury. And even then Foz couldn't let go. I remember him starting JB at 15 vs Scotland, what a waste of reps for a potential replacement at 15 and reps for JB at 12

yeah, but we'd have had him for 2 years and moved on.

Knowing the NZRU they would have reupped him after Japan 🙄

@ACT-Crusader they also agree DP should be dropped completely. Nah yeah nah.

Pretty sure Robertson will stick with Bladder/Paps/Ardie. There were some signs of a decent combination last week. That said, can see Cane getting some game-time. - this is the sort of match he excels in.

Ofa has more experience. Frans is tough ask.

Bones

To be fair, he's prolly not gonna debut Plummer/Love and I'd prefer Havili covering fullback than Jordan.

Already done. For the next world cup.

Surely the Boks would have run out of voodoo dolls by then...
