    I think the Springboks have more to play for. 4 wins in a row against the ABs for the first time in 70+ years. First freedom cup in 15 years. Clean sweap vs ABs. Maintaining 1st place on the world rugby rankings and ofcourse the Rugby championship.
    Gonna be a hell of a game.

      I wouldn't say more to play for but instead to be considered better than the 09 Boks and the odds are in NZs favour, I mean to beat the ABs 4 in a row is unheard of.in our lifetime.

      To me the world rankings should start with number 2 and below. When a team is the reigning world champ they should always maintain their #1 ranking until it's time to defend their RWC.

    Boks still have a heap of potential starting players out - 5 locks (RG Snyman, Franco Mostert, Lood DeJager, Jean Klein, Salmaan Moerat), Steven Kitshoff (just returned from injury - not yet match fit?), Faf de Klerk, Kurt-Lee Arendse and Damian Willemse. But it's really good to see Moody back. All in all, not a bad Bok team given the available players. But this definitely a rotated team with some combination experiments in play.
    On the other side, the All Black team looks a lot more balanced than the last week's version. They are definitely going to be up for it!
    As for form, over the last 20 matches (against all teams), the Boks have won 85% and the ABs have won 70%. The Boks' average score is 33-16 and the ABs is 36-17.
    This is going to be a spicy encounter - AB's looking to prevent a whitewash and an extremely rare 4th loss in a row (this will only be hte 2nd time ever against the Boks), while the Boks are looking to tie up the RC, get teh Freedom Cup, and keep that win streak against the ABs rolling.

    I feel like the Boks have the advantage based on these selections. Razor seems to have selected his team in reaction to the Boks performance (i.e. more experience on the bench to combat bomb-squad, etc) whereas Rassie seems to have selected proactively to a suit a certain game plan (more conservative, tactical kicking, more kicks at goal, etc) regardless of what the AB's decide.
    I think Rassie is in Razor's head unfortunately.
    Will be an epic game.

    These stats about the last time the Boks beat All Blacks three times in a row, the stat about 35-7 game being the All Blacks biggest ever defeat from anyone, All Blacks having held onto the Freedom Cup for 15 years.... this all speaks to the unbelievable quality of our greatest foe. Just beating the All Blacks once is a massive achievement for most rugby playing nations. This Bok team is truly special for many reasons, the back-to-back WC wins being the most obvious, but I think we need the All Blacks more than anything to keep us honest. Great respect for the All Blacks, and these two teams need each other to be at their best, or else it all kind of just feels....meh. We could feel it when we got smashed 57-0, it was like the All Blacks were disappointed big time, neither team wants to be that dominant over the other.

    Despite the loss to SA, been a while the box have had 4 tries put on the Box in their home soil and on the velt to boot. The box win has glossed over the glaring problems they have against the AB’s attack. To let in 4 in 60 mins and having to chase the game must be a major concern considering they had made major strides in the last year or two in their defence, so witness their changes to try combat that no doubt. Blackadder gives his all but has a history of injuries which unfortunately has curtailed his career big time. Be interesting to see the NZ changes make the effect they hope for in the last 20. Thought the Box would easily win the first test at home on the velt, and to see NZ do better than we expected before running out of puff gives this second test an intrigue on how the changes may work. Some game closing badly needed and no doubt spelt out to them.

    With Handre on there will be no tries scored from the backline - nethertheless, a kick will not sail amiss.
    First half prediction:
    - Game opens with Handre Pollard knocking a penalty over (3).
    - Will Jordan scores the opening try for the All Blacks and Damian Mckenzie has a shot from right out in front (3-7).
    - Boks then win another penalty and kick for touch, Boks drive the rolling maul and Bongi scores. Handre Pollard glides it between the sticks (10-7).
    - Jordie Barrett beats Siya Kolisi for a linebreak but gets chased to the sideline by the Boks lightning quick #9 and #11. Jordie Barrett passes to Mark Tele'a who scores in the corner (10-12).
    - Damian Mckenzie narrowly misses the conversion.
    - Sam Cane high tackle (yellow card) - Penalty kick, that's 3 more for Handre Pollard (13-12) and half time.
    Second half prediction:
    - Boks win 2 penalties in the second half, Handre Pollard slots the first one and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu slots the second one (19-12).
    - All Blacks score from a rolling maul, try goes to Ardie Savea. Beauden Barret misses the conversion from 4 meters in from the sideline (19-17).
    - Beauden Barrett slots a 45 meter penalty from straight out in front (19-20).
    - All Blacks get another penalty close to the line and take the 3 points (19-23).
    - Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu links with Lukanyo Am and Canaan Moodie to get the ball over the line in spectacular fashion. Moodie scores and Boks win (24-23).

    Not entirely sold on the selection. I like seeing Willie back but the change on the wing and at 10 just seems like a lot of movement all at once. I'm not sure how rusty Moodie might be, it's also a big ask to 'mark' Telea.
    I get that there's probably a gameplan attached to all these changes but I think the ABs look better on paper.
    Should be a great game though.

  • @lunny2230

    If a ball carrier (Kolisi example) wants to throw their head into contact by ducking so low that their back is almost horizontal, then they should immediately be excluded from any card decisions unless the tackler directly hits the head first.
    Canes tackle was perfectly legal. Not his fault that two big guys running hard and low at each other will often cause a whiplash effect and they ended up clattering heads. Ball carriers should be expected to take accountability of where they put their head as much as the tacklers are. 🤷‍♂️
    Also turnovers won was likely helped by the ref refusing to stop the boks just lying all over the NZ side of almost every single ruck. 🤷‍♂️ Then having the gaul to penalise TJ for yelling at him to penalise the blatantly obvious infrigements! 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • @ark1888
    @ark1888 9 днів тому

    I wonder if Razor is panicking. If we fail to win, he would have a worse record than his predecessor as far as Rugby Championships are concerned.
    I agree with Murray Mexted that we should not be trying out things when playing against the current world champions. We should be putting our best team forward. I feel we are experimenting with the backline this week. Jordon has not played many games at fullback at this level. Whenever he has, he was at best average at this level. What people may not have considered, we have been playing with 2 number 10s ( playmakers) for a while. Before it used to be Beauden and Mounga and now McKenzie and Beauden. Jordon is not a playmaker ( as yet). Without Beauden there, McKenzie will be under a lot of pressure. He is not a player who performs well under pressure… at least so far.
    Analysing last week, I felt our starting team was about 8 out of 10. Because of the backline, the starting team for next week is at best 6 out of 10. Our bench last week at best was about 4 out of 10. If Razor once again brings the bench in fifteen minutes from the end, this bench will at best be 5 out of 10. Bringing this bench in earlier will elevate things to 6 or 7.
    If things are not panning out in the first 30 minutes, I would bring Beauden back in at 10, McKenzie at 15 and Jordon in the wing. Bring ALB into the centre. This should strengthen the backline significantly. Will Razor consider this? I doubt it.
