@ARCPrecisionSolutions yeah, that was an obvious oversight, embarrassing for us but Argentina deserved the win, on that day, they were the better team on the field.
Was in Amsterdam when one of the SA v NZ Rugby Champs matches was on, all the saffers were going to Coco’s Outback bar to watch. It was absolutely packed by the time we tried to get in, so go early or book ahead, but was definitely the place to be!
Can't take credit but I did laugh at a comment I saw earlier, Scotland waiting for Springboks to announce so they can pick any uncapped players not playing 😂
I agree. If not starting he'll be on the bench. Rassie is quite sentimental over these things and I think he'll want Willie to get his 100th cap before retiring.
There won’t be any surprises from the Scotland lineup, we all know their best players. With Rassie, he likes to rotate, so there’s always a potential of a twist.
@EggchasersRugby I think most think he can cover 10, 12, 15 which would mean we probably wouldn't need McDowall. Also Dobie covers wing and 9 so he could also get a bench slot.
Rassie did not pick such a strong touring party for nothing. I don't think there will be much experimentation for the Scotland and England matches, perhaps a bit for Wales. I therefore expect most of his old hands to start with perhaps a youngster or two among the replacements.
Interesting. With Mostert lacking any game time, would you not rather have Kleyn at 5, albeit he’s a 4? And Jayden hendrikse starting with Pollard? Is the former not best paired with Manie as to relieve him of test kicking pressure? That being said, I find your 15 appealing, Rassie style
Differences to your team. Louw will start and obliterate Pierre Schoeman (Ox going to do the same to Zander) No contest 😁, Snyman, Louw (Kolisi rested for England), Williams and Libbok start. Marx, Steenekamp, Thomas Du Toit, Jean Kleyn, Franco Mostert, Cameron Hanekom, Smith, Pollard coming off the bench. 7-1 split
Agree, but most int'l teams these days have quite a few players 'qualifying'. I don't like the broad qualification rules, in this case it's unfair on RSA as few would choose to emigrate and set up a new life there.
I think this time around you got it wrong Tim. Often players who forms part of press conference make it to the matchday 23. Du Toit will start, Esterhuizen will start with Am and Mapimpi will pair with Moodie. Manie might start as well and will be replaced by Pollard off the bench. I think the rest, you got it right.
You have the scotland bench all wrong, i think. It may be a 6-2 split. Dobie and jordan covering the backs. 2nd row selection is more up for grabs than you think. Williamson may come in there or maybe alex craig. Doubt richie makes the bench if it 5-2, it will mcdowell who comes in and a back row replacement that will drop out.
We can pretty much guess SCO's Team esp the backline with Rowe coming in for Graham on the RWG following his unfortunate concussion after his great Fiji performance. Might sound sacrilegious, but I actually prefer SCO's Midfield Trio to SA's! Over a few videos now, weird how Tim doesn't seem to rate Kolisi.
@AllInTheGame01 it's not difficult, Ben White will start as he's thr best kicker. Dobbie will be on bench for versatility. I like Horne a lot but gt doesn't. Ali price is 4th choice
@@speak_your_truth. It was Price's kicking that lost Scotland all momentum last week and let Fiji into the game, three horrific box kicks in the space of two minutes.
The bomb squad approach doesn’t work when the starting 15 don’t deliver - just ask Munster who tried it in the URC semi final - it blew up big style and handed Glasgow the game.
My daughter lives in Amsterdam. We always watch the rugby in a pub on Dam plein. I can't remember the name but usually full of rugger fans in team jerseys so shouldnt be hard to find.
Libbok had the better of Finn Russel the last time they met, what changed since then? Man for man South Africa are superior in most positions and by plenty.
@ I’m not saying that’s the best Bok team. It’s building experience and giving guys a run while maximising cohesion. Esterhuizen hasn’t played for the Boks since Portugal and plays with Am for cohesion. Scotland has a good scrum so we need our best front row. Ox and Bongi are part of it. Am, Fassi and Mapimpi play well together. Hendrikse kicks for posts instead of Libbok. Makes sense to me. Hanekom must play. Wiese or Smith comes on later to close out the game.
@@HennieBarnard apparently Kriel played every single minute of The Rugby Championship. The guys need a rest. To preserve their bodies. There’s like 36 more games until the RWC. Other people need to start playing more often.
Pretty sure that's not correct. A 1 point margin win for SA gives a 0.46 ranking exchange, 16 point margin is a 0.69 exchange. 1 point win for Scotland is 1.54 exchange and a 16 point margin 2.31 exchange.
Love how Rassie delayed his announcement for whatever reason then Townsend delayed his team because clearly he's trying to counter pick Rassie just for Rassie to delay it again to after the scotland team again. The mind games are next level Also pro tip if Libbok is going to play he will start not come off the bench. Personally I wouldent even put him in the 30 man squad but whatever
You know what I appreciate about Rassie? He treats every team like a genuine threat, he knows not to underestimate Scotland. Makes him a better coach.
Not Arg..

Can't take credit but I did laugh at a comment I saw earlier, Scotland waiting for Springboks to announce so they can pick any uncapped players not playing 😂
I think Rassie is waiting for your video before naming his team.
Absolutely love you Tim! The content you provide is not only what everyone is thinking but what everyone needs!Ox for President!
I think Willie Le Roux will start all 3 games so that he gets his hundred cap milestone this year.
I agree. If not starting he'll be on the bench. Rassie is quite sentimental over these things and I think he'll want Willie to get his 100th cap before retiring.
IMO Willie is good enough to make it till the next World Cup .... if Rassie thinks the same, then he'll probably give him his 100th next year at home!
There won’t be any surprises from the Scotland lineup, we all know their best players.
With Rassie, he likes to rotate, so there’s always a potential of a twist.
Have you never heard of the Toonie tombola? 🤫
Generally speaking in SA if a player appears before the media duty during the week they play on the weekend.
Mapimpi
Hanekom
Andre the giant
Yup, and I think the first time this rule is broken - barring injuries - is during a knock-out match or a decider in the RC.
Also Esterhuyzen?
I can see Tom Jordan on the bench rather than Reed. I'm fact Reed could start of Rowe isn't fully fit after his injury last week.
Yes. Can't believe I forgot Jordan. He was absolutely be above Reed.
@EggchasersRugby I think most think he can cover 10, 12, 15 which would mean we probably wouldn't need McDowall. Also Dobie covers wing and 9 so he could also get a bench slot.
Any news to why Netherlands vs Zimbabwe is canceled?
Aren't Zim in S.Korea?
In Amsterdam Coco's Outback is vibes for rugby 😁
I second that!

Correct. Libbok has to start with Jaden.
a case of which one blinks first, Tim.

Marx, Steenekamp, Thomas Du Toit, Jean Kleyn, Franco Mostert, Cameron Hanekom, Smith, Pollard coming off the bench. 7-1 split
The Springboks will be running. Expect some big time running rugga. Libbok to start (only change)
the point about Scotland punching above their weight relative to the population would be more true if they had more Scots in the team...
haha. Funny...and fair
Agree, but most int'l teams these days have quite a few players 'qualifying'. I don't like the broad qualification rules, in this case it's unfair on RSA as few would choose to emigrate and set up a new life there.
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 ❤
Bro, I though I was the only one who was worried. I've been checking their Instagram pages and there's nothing.
PSDT and Franco Mostert to look after Finn Russell
Mostert may move to flanker after 2nd half replaced Snyman at lock?
For the Boks - agree all except at 15 Willie Le Roux will start.
Only change for Scotland I would make is Hastings on the bench to cover at 10 in case something happens to Russell.
I watched South Africa beat England in the semi finals for the World Cup at a bar in Amsterdam full of Saffas. A very stressful but great evening 🙏 🇿🇦
I don't think we're going to see a showy game from van Der Merwe or Kolbe because they're just going to shut each other down
St James Gate pub in Amsterdam is a good place to watch. Hope to see you there!
I think you got the Bok team spot on.
Love your Bok (possible) line up. Lets see.
I think this time around you got it wrong Tim. Often players who forms part of press conference make it to the matchday 23.

I agree with you, but think fly half he will put Polard on the bench.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS TO DELIVER IRISH PUBS EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IS YOUR BEST BET.
Scotland have habit of going for touch to keep on front foot,but in this case I think Finn should take 3 points as often as possible
We can pretty much guess SCO's Team esp the backline with Rowe coming in for Graham on the RWG following his unfortunate concussion after his great Fiji performance. Might sound sacrilegious, but I actually prefer SCO's Midfield Trio to SA's! Over a few videos now, weird how Tim doesn't seem to rate Kolisi.
Who's Scotland's starting 9?
@@speak_your_truth.Yeah that's the one difficult one between White, Horne & Price.
@AllInTheGame01 it's not difficult, Ben White will start as he's thr best kicker. Dobbie will be on bench for versatility.
I like Horne a lot but gt doesn't.
Ali price is 4th choice
@Zomo1553 Price is the best kicker.
@@speak_your_truth. It was Price's kicking that lost Scotland all momentum last week and let Fiji into the game, three horrific box kicks in the space of two minutes.

Red District should be a good place to watch the game Tim... ;-)
Rassie is bringing in Nic White in the new look bomb squad 😂
As water carrier
@ anything goes, we just need that tash for team morale, imagine concussed Springbok and Nic looking down “ how many fingers “ ? 😂
The bomb squad approach doesn’t work when the starting 15 don’t deliver - just ask Munster who tried it in the URC semi final - it blew up big style and handed Glasgow the game.
Finn Russell all day long twice on Sunday 😂
good team combined
Oh Tim I just returned from Ammsterdam and I can't recall any pubs with a ttv in it. Better make a back up plan for the game
I think they will start with Koch, Sharks front row makes sense
My daughter lives in Amsterdam. We always watch the rugby in a pub on Dam plein. I can't remember the name but usually full of rugger fans in team jerseys so shouldnt be hard to find.
Am i the only person who remember how we broke Finn in that opening wc match?guy looked like he hated his life then.
Irish Pub O’Donnell’s.
Libbok had the better of Finn Russel the last time they met, what changed since then? Man for man South Africa are superior in most positions and by plenty.
Rassie trump card Siya at no 8? Was outstanding his last game for Sharks at 8, also started his career for Western Province at 8.
Don't think Rassie will go 6/2 without Willie
if you play 6/2 you can't play Libbok...it has to be Jaden H on the bench to cover more positions
Isn't Frans Malherbe injured??? 🤔
Rassie in an Ireland jersey?
Tom Jordan should be on the bench instead of Reed. Really hope he is
De Walletjies vs Rugby and de Walletjies won!
You just got to love Rassie's mind games😅
What are his mind games in this instance?
Won't Jaden play with Manie to be able to kick....
Manie has shortened his runup to two steps and possibly straightened up slightly in the strike. Polly must be coaching him.
Ruan Nortje injured breaking news out of tour ,Jean Klein replaces him ....
Only change for my SA team is Le Roux in 23 jumper
If I had my way
1. Ox
2. Bongi
3. Wilco
4. Eben
5. RG
6. Siya
7. PSDT
8. Hanekom
9. Hendrikse
10. Libbok
11. Kolbe
12. Esterhuizen
13. Am
14. Mapimpi
15. Fassie
16. Marx
17. Steenekamp
18. Thomas
19. Mostert
20. Wiese
21. Williams
22. Pollard
23. Moodie/Kriel

Get my Egg on
Dont Pick Eben - he is the reason they wait to make team known. Klein is called up 45 min ago.
Injuries might be the cause.
We need 15 point margin to get points on ranking sysyem. I expect that is the goal
Pretty sure that's not correct. A 1 point margin win for SA gives a 0.46 ranking exchange, 16 point margin is a 0.69 exchange. 1 point win for Scotland is 1.54 exchange and a 16 point margin 2.31 exchange.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂love it
I would start W.Louw with du Toit on bench
Tim, Be great to have a video on all your predictions for the weekend, esp for those of us who like a little bet.
Andre the giant will replace De Elende who will play England. Wilco will start not Du Toit. That will be my team compared to yours.
Thomas the tank in to start, Koch off the bench, mostert off the bench, Williams to start with pollard, fassie to start Willie off the bench 🤷♂️
Siya all the way.....
Scots needs saffas players to beat boks
Makazole Mapimpi is in the starting lineup
Love how Rassie delayed his announcement for whatever reason then Townsend delayed his team because clearly he's trying to counter pick Rassie just for Rassie to delay it again to after the scotland team again. The mind games are next level
Also pro tip if Libbok is going to play he will start not come off the bench. Personally I wouldent even put him in the 30 man squad but whatever
Scotland have no chance of winning
That's 100% correct, no matter what they do and they know it too
Why?
@@speak_your_truth.Because!😅😅
@@ianjacobs2998 Exactly 🤫
That was everyone was saying about Glasgow on the morning of 22nd June.
Thats the way to go Tim, change obstacle into opportunityand pick team for Rassie. Boks by 11.
Ruan Nortje injured and on his way home apparantly... Don't know if that and other injury niggles are behind the delay
mapimpi starting arendse injurered?
@subbie5498 Don't think so... Mapimpi starting would just be rotating
