Based on actual recent performances then SA should go 2-0
A 1-1 result probably still gives them the champioship , rassie being rassie might be happy with 1 win and experiment in the second game if they win the first
That would be a major piss take. Wheel out a development side against the old enemy, at home
I didnt mean major changes , but he likes to tinker
.. soldier, and spy...
'Ultimate Rugby sh*thousery' - Handre Pollard reveals cheeky Rassie Erasmus' tactics
Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard has revealed a funny trick that Rassie Erasmus would play on opposition teams during his early coaching career.

@canefan that's what he did at Twickenham

Couldn’t give a shit who he puts out in his side.
We will have to beat whoever puts on a green jersey.
They have a large squad of test quality players. They are reaching similar squad depth to what we had at times under Henry and then Hansen.
Time for Razor to really prove that he is the prince that was promised

@DaGrubster the big bad Boks pfft, just a bunch of rugby players.
Looking forward to the contest with our bunch of rugby players.
I saw a little more trust from the AB unit on the weekend, hopefully that will be something to build off.
If we lose I will crawl into a cocoon and not want to leave the house on Sunday. It’s 20 years almost to the day that we suffered the worst loss to the Boks in my AB viewing lifetime. I couldn’t even sleep after that loss. They had put their second biggest score as well as the second largest winning margin in that test. A baptism of fire for Henry, Hansen and Smith in their first trip to the Republic.

BBEven though I think Proctor is our best 13, I just can't see them throwing him into a test like this. Hopefully a bench spot maybe but I definitely don't think he'll start.

Just do it!

The Boks have an aging team.
They'd better hope the new guys are as good as what has come before.Ageing but not like AgustÃn Creevy I hope who turns 40 next March.

Are the Boks World Champions? Yes, they've won the last two World Cups.
Are they above us in the world rankings? Yes, they are top. We're third. https://www.world.rugby/rankings
Are they above us in the Rugby Championship table? Yes.
Are they favourites? Of course. (See Above)
Do we have a chance? For sure.
Is it going to be hard? Absolutely bloody hard. But that's why you play the game.
What would winning a series in South Africa mean? Next to winning World Cups it's the apex.
Go Black!

@nostrildamus The series win in 1996, keeping the Boks to 0 at Newlands in 2008 and the last minute win at Soccer City in 2010 meant a lot me to me than reaching 50 unbeaten at Eden Park.

fair enough!

That is some ugly reading. Ironic that Ian McIntosh got fired after recording our best result at Eden Park in the last 90 years
I'd wager there's a lot more South African fans who'd attend a match at Eden Park today, might tip it back more in your favour..

They'd better hope the new guys are as good as what has come before.This is true, however the average age of the Bok starting 15 last saturday was 27. New Zealand average age of starting 15 a week ago was 28. (I can't find stats for saturdays AB game on the AB website)
