    Some of the AB's fans in the comments section are feeling persimistic. I know your team isn't dominating as it has always known to dominate but I personally think your team is still a deadly opponent with a great fighting spirit. The world cup final in 2023 speaks volumes about the spirit of the AB's. They can possibly win both games in SA. I'll always have tons of respect. Much love from a Boks fan.

Reinach and Faf are still miles ahead of the rest. I hope Van den Berg gets more opportunities soon.

    I'm loving the underdog status for our All Blacks, I think Razor has the balance as right as can be expected.
    As a lifelong All Blacks supporter, it is compulsory to watch the Boks v anyone else in the lead up to these games, they've been deadly this year, completely dismantled the Wallabies, very impressed with this exciting young 10 for the Boks & yes their back 3 is probably the most dangerous in the world right now.
    I am liking the look of our back 3 though, Clarke & Jordan can both find the line, they're big & fast & both like the ball in their hands, Beauden is Beauden.
    The forward match up looks very exciting, two very big packs looking to impose themselves upon the other.
    Oh boy.

The Boks are looking a little unsettled with our lock pairing and our loosies, up against a Kiwi side with major motivation. Scrum and gain line dominance is going to be key and will set the tone for the winning team. Can the bench clinch it for the Boks? or can the Kiwis re-write the script, which is perfectly setup for them to snatch which they're so good at...Lets go Boks this is going to be a cracker.

    I just want the all blacks to play our DNA which is a game at pace with front foot ball and quick pass from half back to iginate our dangerous backline and attack from every where when we have the ball. The boks will play their game and let's see what happens 😊

    Very happy with how the nz pack and bench is split. Could have some good impact late in the game. Really wish Proctor had some more game time in previous matches. Just seems he can't be selected yet due to experience, but he's not getting the chance to get the experience? Catch 22.

  • @marksimpson289
    @marksimpson289 15 днів тому

    With all of the Boks squad depth, the lock injuries have certainly stretched them and made for some interesting juggling in the forwards- what effect will it have on their ‘usual’ forward power?
    Solid AB team- big question will be McKenzie’s performance at 10.

    Looking forward to a great game on Saturday. It doesn’t get much better than this match up. The Boks should do it at Ellis Park, but the Cape Town test is going to be challenging, no altitude advantage and the weather could play a part. Currently there’s been snow on Table Mountain and lots wind and rain.

    • @chrisg667-1

    Bro you like stats, who’s the cardiest ref? What’s the comparison with northern hemisphere refs, since this one is Irish. Angus Gardiner loves the cards and another Aussie loves the warnings, can’t wait to go for the pocket. Hope the ref doesn’t ruin a tough mans game.

  • @Straightdeal
    @Straightdeal 15 днів тому

    In my opinion the Boks will only be "full strength" when Manie Libbok and Canan Moodie are also in the squad. These guys have rugby IQ, and are lightning fast. Jesse has upped his game tremendously, but I am no de Allende supporter. I would move Sacha to replace him any day, making place for the talented Libbok at 10.

    Worse lineout stats for the Boks down to Moerat and Grobbelaar. Moerat not a great exponent and Grobbelaar also missed the targets. Expect Bongi to find his jumpers this time and Boks to win 90% of their own lineouts.
    Big game loading however. Expect ABs to kick quite a bit. At leat 7 tries in this game.
    Hope we see no cards at all!
