This will certainly be interesting. Australia seems to have found their attacking ability and their other key opposition will be on their turf.

The All Blacks can certainly trouble the Boks, but I don't see Australia being a threat. 

The Boks pack has too much depth, so even if the Ozzie's could put a decent starting tight five- the bomb squad will pummel them.  

It is interesting how Queensland has been chosen. Not sure if it is related to it being the widest pitch (at least according to Edde Jones). 
The Boks have struggled at this stadium, unlike say Perth.

Our wins against Australia under Josè and Krutch have all been on the back of Esterhuizen absolutely asphyxiating the Wallaby attack, and manhandling the Kerevi who ran all over the All Blacks. We don't have a backline weapon like that now. It's all down to who can knock on the high balls the least. The Wallabies almost always gain some level of parity with our blocky forwards.

Well we have only beaten Oz once in Oz since 2009…under HM in 2013. We have a better shot this year, but the Aussies play tough in their backyard.

I hope I haven’t gone off half cocked here,

NZ Herald printed it as a done deal this morning here in NZ but there has been no confirmation from NZR!

Herald has also just published that Foster has been re-signed as ABs coach through to next RWC which will no doubt please some Bok supporters!

Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane is Oz’ Eden Park. 

Very hard to beat them there.

Looks like the boys are in for a nice holiday. The stadiums  look  pretty decent and appears to be double headers for the crowds.  So should be very interesting to watch. 

Would have been nicer if it was in Perth, less travel,  not to mention  the massive saffa fans  to cheer the boys on. 

But  just  glad we are playing  in front of a crowd to say the  least

The plan JW is to oust Rassie who is a danger in two ways. Firstly he has exposed that massive cheating that is going on in rugby. 

Secondly they don't want another 80 years or so of Bok dominance so Rassie must go. Rassie has to go and go fast he is simply too dangerous.

Meanwhile the OZ/Nz alliance is as per usual. Get the Jarpies.  But if Rassie is around with his video camera then everything falls apart. The LAST thing the down under cheats want are fair refs.

So you see JW  Beeno has it all figured.

Anyhow nice to see the kbbs back here at school as it were. Watch and learn JW! Ditt o all other kbbs!

Josè exposed cheating? No. Josè used race to bully the ref into being too afraid to penalise the Boks. He has done nothing of the sort. His video is an embarrassment, and to make matters worse, he hasn't had a word to say about the scores of infringements by the Boks which have turned games in their favour. Watching los Pumas being blown out of the game was not pleasant viewing. It's a sham and hollow experience. I like a contest.

If there’s no contest there’s no point in watching the game. 

This summer has produced some really dull affairs.

It was an unbelievable anti-climax. To sit up and watch that tripe? No thankyou. I'll be more prudent in future.

Beeno  There is only 1 thing that needs to happen - And that is for Rassie to have head cut off at the shoulders so that we can all shit down his neck.

I would love to see the trial live. That however would require transparency. The last thing cheats want though is transparency.

Rassie has lifted a lid on corruption that intelligent rugby fans KNOW has been going on for years. Now the Rassie haters, who shamelessly claim to be Bok supporters, want  Rassie to get nailed. Even it means siding with cheats. Yes oaks that is how much Rassie and his success has embarrassed this frauds.

Bwahahahahhahahahahahahaha

The refs in the Argies test took their time to very carefully check infringement. Not surprisingly after thorough checking it was found the Argies were transgressing and the boks were playing within the rules. Poor org finds all this most disturbing. Fancy allowing the Boks a fair go he whines. The damage this does to our group of nutjobs trying to take down Rassie. Sob Sob!

The IRB wont have it all their own way and better be careful lest they get sued in court.

They will not be able to claim rassie was lying about the errors made. 

They will then move on to protool. Rassie will present evidence that he has on a number of occasions raised issues of bad reffing etc and nothing happened. The IRB are protectors of the game and as far a ensuring quality reffing they have failed. Bad refs go unpunished etc

If this ever goes to court I think the IRB will lose.

Lets see what happens. They would love to nail Rassie but we could see an IRB climb down
