@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 be 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..

The Boks have an aging team.
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)

I have a bizarre feeling we are going to beat them twice.
We are due some luck on the card front. Reckon 1 or 2 of their okes get "sent".
Allbacks by 15+
I just can't see us winning both. But I can definitely see them dropping their guard for one, most likely the second when they've already tied up the RC.

That’s my tip but would be happier with jet’s prediction

If we do happen to have a good first half cant see the rationale to bring the subs on at a set time.
Keep the starting lineup on as necessary and see how gets on. -
@BerniesCorner I don't like predetermined subs either. Especially if affects our momentum like last Saturday

Keep the starting lineup on as necessary and see how gets on.I meant the Boks changing out their fatties at 40. We ought to get more from ours.

let's hope Taimati Williams starts again.

@pakman shit I just realised Ratima and Finau have the same initials as their future replacements.
And I thought everyone was being replaced by 'AI' these days. Maybe the selectors are showing they are boomers and missed the trend at 6...

I don’t think last weekend was predetermined. In fact far from it. That was more a case of “we are up by plenty, clear the bench”.
Doubt that will happen this weekend.
The Boks have a clear strategy when it comes to subbing their front row forwards.

Pakman team, assuming EDG fit, but Paddy not:
EDG/CT/TL/SB/TV/SC/SF/RD/TJS(!)/DMac/CC/JB/RI/WJ/BB
Bench: TW/AA/FN/SD/DP/CR/ALB/MT
6/2 bench I reckon. Don’t need an outside back replacement for this test with Jordie and Ioane in the team.
