@darylmitchell in 05 Ian Foster was working out a plan to not lose the Rugby Championship when he was head coach.
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?
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
It was a must win game vs Scotland…..
Not some shit team like Wales or Australia
Is that code for "never lose"?

Any AB supporter calling for >10 points victory is
Deluded
Doesn’t watch rugby
In a cultCan they beat SA?
YesBy >10?
YesBut 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.
Rugby Jesus and the Bomb Squad! 💣
Not for this game. Do these guys look confident?
Come on saffas, own your well earned favoritism instead of being pussy and trying to claim underdog status. You're better than that

They might rectify that if they actually toured here once in awhile.
Fucken Japan or Fiji will register their first AB scalp before those tight fluffybunnies ever do

To be fair, he's prolly not gonna debut Plummer/Love and I'd prefer Havili covering fullback than Jordan.
It’s gonna happen and you need to accept it.
Havili covering fullback? I've already accepted his utility value, clearly.

Covering ? He should be starting

Scrum question, As good as frans is as a prop how much impact does the quality of the lock behind him make?
Are the named bok 4 an 5 good scrumagers or just good locks? Could it be a prop leveller?
Conversely how good a scrummagimg lock is Vaii? -

Nope. I'm a happy camper.

Conversely how good a scrummagimg lock is Vaii?Given I’m fairly sure no ferner has been in a scrum with any of the guys you’ve mentioned I think this one may have to go unanswered sorry champ.

Conversely how good a scrummagimg lock is Vaii?The TH lock is a critical element. For example, Itoje is pants on TH side, as shown in 2019 RWC final.
In original team PSDT was named as TH lock, despite being a 5.5 hybrid. Nortje seems a specialist LH lock.
For ABs Scooter is a world class LH lock and Vaa’i is good both sides, probably 7.5/10 on TH.
Sami and Lomax went well last time at Ellis Park against Ox and Bongi, and Codie is probably our best scrummaging hooker.
In summary, the starting scrums should be a good tussle.
Bomb squad will see Steenekamp/Marx/Koch/Eben on.
Williams/Aumua/Newell/Scooter ought to match up well. the main issue is that Darry is very much a LH lock, so query if Scooter would cross to TH when bench on.
Lateral thought that Vaa'i could go to 6 for lineouts but stay TH in scrums with Darry packing at blind side?
